Get Real-time access to inventory & production data

Inventory details from Business Central or NAV can now be accessed and updated in real-time from the handheld device. This helps to ensure that the physical warehouse remains in sync with your data in Business Central or NAV. The manual tracking of warehouse transactions is no longer required, reducing the overhead and potential for errors resulting from double-entry of the data.

Lot and serial numbers can be recorded and tracked directly on the handheld device. In addition to tracking, Warehouse Insight provides reports to help you comply with regulatory requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How does Warehouse Insight handle multiple barcode formats?

While Warehouse Insight supports multiple barcode formats including 1D, 2D, and others, the use of different barcodes will be limited by the barcode formats supported by the scanner you are using. For example, laser scanners will scan 1D barcodes however imaging scanners will be needed for 2D barcodes.

Warehouse Insight provides configurable rules to decode any type of barcode and extract any required information, including item number, item cross reference, variant code,unit of measure, quantity, lot number, expiration date, serial number, and any other custom field.

So the basic approach of mapping a vendor’s barcode to your own item is natively enabled when using Warehouse Insight.
I already have UPC codes on my inventory. What needs to happen to move to Warehouse Insight scanning?

Getting started with Warehouse Insight is simple. The primary task is cross-referencing item barcodes to your NAV item data. That’s it. There are several additional options that can be configured based on your process but none of them are required to get going.
How much information is a barcode able to obtain?

Any NAV field can be extracted from a barcode. Multiple NAV fields can be populated with a single scan. Some of the data that can be extracted from a barcode include items, variants, lot information, expiration date, unit of measurement, quantity and more.
Can information from Business Central or NAV be displayed on handheld scanning devices?

Specific information from Business Central or NAV can be delivered to devices, including “Decision Support” messages to help guide users in specific tasks.

The information displayed is based on the custom rules and business logic within Business Central or NAV. The information displayed on devices is configurable. While the header and footer information is standard, the content within the screen can be customized to show or hide columns and menus.
When working with multiple quantities of a single item, does the item need to be scanned multiple times?

Warehouse Insight can be configured to adhere to the rules and processes you set out. You may force the user to scan every item or simply scan the item once and enter the quantity manually into the handheld.

This configuration can be done per activity – for example, you can prompt for quantities during receiving, but default to the line quantity while picking.
What brands of handheld scanners does Warehouse Insight support?

Warehouse Insight supports most makes and models of scanners including Datalogic, Zebra, Honeywell, and others.

Do scanners have to be purchased from Insight Works?

No. Insight Works does supply scanners, but you are free to procure scanners from your supplier of choice. Not sure what you need? Insight Works has certified sales professionals who can help you. Warehouse Insight supports most makes and models of scanners.
Are services from Insight Works required to configure scanners with Warehouse Insight?

No. Your IT department will be able to handle the configuration of your scanners although some initial training from Insight Works may be required.
How does Insight Works deliver training?

Insight Works makes it simple as all installation, training, and support is delivered remotely.
I have multiple warehouses. Do I roll out Warehouse Insight to all locations at the same time or one-by-one?

We recommend rolling out Warehouse Insight to one location to start. We suggest working with the location that has the most experienced staff. Once staff understands the process then it’s a good time to roll out Warehouse Insight to the remaining locations.
What sort of Wi-Fi network is required to support Warehouse Insight?

Insight Works recommends performing a Wi-Fi assessment to ensure your wireless network will support Warehouse Insight. Typically your IT service provider can assist with a Wi-Fi assessment. If you prefer, Insight Works can also perform a Wi-Fi assessment.
What sort of uptime can we expect from Warehouse Insight?

Warehouse Insight is backed by Dynamics NAV, therefore, uptime is dependent on the uptime of Dynamics NAV (which includes your network uptime). If you’re currently experiencing 99.99% uptime from your Dynamics NAV then you can expect the same from Warehouse Insight.
What happens in the event our Wi-Fi network goes down for an extended period of time?

Warehouse Insight does not impact Dynamics NAV standard behavior, therefore, manual entry including printed put-away and pick sheets can be accessed. The Scratchpad application allows you to continue to scan activities offline and upload them to NAV when back on the network.
