Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an excellent ERP for managing finance, purchasing, and operations. But when it comes to warehouse management, Business Central has limitations that can hinder your ability to scale efficiently.

For manufacturers and distributors dealing with growing SKU counts, stricter compliance requirements, or rising customer expectations,
these gaps can lead to inventory blind spots, labor inefficiencies, and operational bottlenecks.

That’s where a purpose-built solution like RF Plus™ from Portable Intelligence makes all the difference.

The Hidden Gaps in Business Central’s Warehouse Features

While Business Central provides basic inventory tracking and warehouse functionality, it wasn’t designed to manage
the day-to-day complexity of high-volume warehouse operations. Common challenges Business Central users face include:

• Manual Workflows: Too much reliance on paper, spreadsheets, or tribal knowledge
• Batch Updates: Delayed synchronization of transactions and inventory levels
• Limited Mobile Functionality: No native barcode scanning, mobile task tracking, or putaway optimization
• Inadequate Traceability: Poor support for lot/serial tracking and regulatory compliance
• Disconnected Execution: No live visibility into task status, operator performance, or equipment usage

Without real-time data from the warehouse floor, Business Central alone can’t deliver the accuracy and responsiveness modern businesses require.

How RF Plus™ Closes the Gap

RF Plus™, built by Portable Intelligence, is a real-time warehouse management system (WMS)
that directly integrates with Business Central—no middleware or duplicated databases. It extends the ERP’s native capabilities by offering:

• Mobile Barcode Scanning: Workers use handheld devices to scan, move, and track inventory in real time.
• Real-Time Inventory Updates: Every scan updates Business Central instantly—no batch syncing or delayed reporting.
• Advanced Putaway and Picking Logic: Automate slotting decisions based on velocity, FIFO, or packaging type.
• Lot and Serial Traceability: Built-in tracking and audit trails support strict industry compliance.
• Configurable Workflows: Support for inbound, inventory, and outbound operations tailored to your warehouse structure.
• On-Demand Label Printing: Integrations with NiceLabel and Bartender ensure your labeling matches inventory flow.

The Benefits of a True WMS Integration

With RF Plus™ layered on top of Business Central, your warehouse gains:

• 100% inventory control
• Up to 90% increase in inventory accuracy
• 20%+ boost in picking speed
• 80% reduction in inventory count time
• Less reliance on paper and tribal knowledge

Most importantly, RF Plus™ helps teams move from guesswork to precision—reducing overhead while enabling future growth.
