Mobile Inventory Count Integration: Demonstrates the integration between Business Central and a mobile inventory counting app running on a handheld device (Honeywell CK67). The mobile interface enables real-time data entry for inventory counts, including item numbers, bins, and quantities, enhancing efficiency and accuracy by eliminating manual data entry. The ability to scan bin locations and track serial/lot numbers ensures seamless synchronization with the central system, streamlining warehouse operations.

Recount Sheet Generation: Allows the creation of recount sheets based on threshold criteria like quantity or amount differences. This ensures that only items with significant variances are recounted, saving time and focusing on resources where needed.

Configuring Inventory Count Sheets: This screen allows users to define count sheet configurations, such as filtering by specific bins, blocking bins from the count, and assigning tracking information. These options help streamline physical count workflows while maintaining data integrity.

Defining Count Period Codes: This configuration screen allows users to set up inventory count periods such as FAST, NORMAL, and SLOW. Each code represents a grouping based on item movement or value, enabling efficient prioritization of inventory counting schedules. The count frequency and percentage of items by cost help warehouse managers focus on fast-moving or high-value items.

Managing Inventory Count Processes: Displays a list of inventory counts, showing detailed statistics such as sheet lines, counted lines, and last reconciliation reports. This overview helps track progress, identify discrepancies, and streamline the inventory reconciliation process.

Before using the inventory add-on from Insight Works, it would take 144 hours to do a full paper-based inventory count of 900 bins. Now with the add-on, we can count the same number in about 12 hours. The built-in reconciliation tools are also a big plus.
