Shop Floor Insight seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enabling manufacturers to automate time tracking, monitor productivity, and streamline shop floor operations for greater efficiency and control.
EDMONTON, AB, April 17, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Insight Works, a leading developer of apps for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, announces the availability of Shop Floor Insight, a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed for barcoded time capture and employee time management. By replacing manual processes with barcode scanning and real-time tracking, the Shop Floor Insight app helps manufacturers manage time, labor, and production more accurately and efficiently—directly within Business Central.
Tailored for production managers, shop floor supervisors, and payroll administrators, Shop Floor Insight brings a new level of visibility and control to manufacturing operations. The app’s user-friendly interface and deep integration with Business Central help teams reduce errors, boost productivity, and make faster, more informed decisions.

– Capture scrap, rework, and inspection data during production.
