In today’s fast-moving supply chain environment, inventory mistakes aren’t just inconvenient - they’re expensive. From wasted time searching for stock to shipping the wrong items, these errors erode customer trust, inflate operational costs, and open the door for competitors to win your business.

❌Common Inventory Mistakes That Hurt Your Bottom Line

- Stock Searches: Wasting hours hunting for items that should be instantly locatable.

- Wrong Shipments: Incorrect stock sent to customers leads to returns, refunds, and reputational damage.

- Stockouts & Overstocks: Poor visibility causes missed sales or excess inventory tying up capital.

- Human Error: Manual data and paper data entry increases the risk of mistakes.

These issues are especially prevalent in businesses using outdated or disconnected systems. As noted in recent research, manual processes vary by person and are prone to error, while Business Central offers real-time visibility and automation.  

✅The Business Central + Insight Works Solution

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides a unified platform for inventory, sales, and warehouse operations. But when paired with Insight Works’ Warehouse Insight, the transformation is game-changing:

- Mobile Scanning: Staff use handheld devices to scan items, bins, and shipments - eliminating guesswork and manual entry.

- Real-Time Inventory Tracking: Know exactly what’s in stock, where it is, and what’s committed to orders.

- Bin Management: Organise your warehouse with logical zones and automate put-away and picking.

- Error Reduction: Barcode scanning ensures accuracy in receiving, picking, and shipping.

- Faster Fulfillment: Orders are processed with confidence, reducing delays and improving customer satisfaction.

These tools empower warehouse teams to work smarter - not harder.
