Real-time reporting enables users to analyze job progression and costing; providing immediate feedback to supervisors and planners while maintaining a detailed production history.
Significantly reduce rework
Rework is a major issue for many manufacturers. Identifying and capturing rework time can often be extremely tedious and difficult with manual systems. Shop Floor Insight makes it simple to capture rework on the shop floor and to analyze the root causes to help reduce costs and improve productivity.
Shop floor data capture
Enhance data capture and management using Shop Floor Insight’s intuitive user interface. Employees can quickly record time against production orders, non-productive activities, and maintenance using shared or individual shop terminals or devices.
Insight Works Product Configurator
Simplify creating BOMs and routing to make quote and order generation more efficient. Define product categories and options to allow sales personnel to easily select options to build new products or reuse existing configurations.
CPQ Product Configurator
Say goodbye to manually managing product options and variations and say hello to Product Configurator from Insight Works – a light-weight add-on for Dynamics 365 Business Central that significantly simplifies the creation of production Bill of Materials (BOMs) and Routings, or Assembly BOMs, to make Quote and Order generation more efficient.

CPQ Configurator Demo
Reduce time & increase accuracy
With Product Configurator, it is easy to set-up and select specific options for products that you sell. Whether you assemble or produce simple items with only a few configurable options or more complex items with thousands of options, Product Configurator reduces data entry time while increasing order accuracy.
Easily build Sales Orders
Users can choose
a base item to configure or select an item that has already been customized and make modifications to it. As users alter the item, the retail price is automatically calculated for easy quoting. With Product Configurator you no longer need to individually account for every item and part that goes into your products.
Easily Configure Rules
Product Configurator enables users to set combination rules for specific products. For example, when building a bicycle, if a specific style of handlebars is selected then a specific lamp will be included while the bell will be excluded. These rules can be done without a developer license, allowing end-users to create “scripts” for rules.
Insight Works Scheduling
MxAPS from Insight Works is an advanced finite scheduling app for Business Central. MxAPS transforms production planning and scheduling from an inaccurate and time-consuming task into a responsive, repeatable, and highly accurate decision support activity.
