3 Game Changing Benefits of Business Central’s Scanning within the Mobile App
Posted on: July 29, 2025 | By: Page Wildridge | Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
For wholesale distributors, retailers, and warehouse teams, the ability to manage inventory and operations quickly and efficiently translate into higher profit. Microsoft’s built-in barcode scanning via their mobile app is designed to help businesses stay on top of their inventory with ease. In this blog, we will cover the advantages of this feature and its newest updates.
1. Seamless Barcode Scanning with Just a Tap
Business Central’s latest mobile update effortlessly integrates barcode scanning into the app. With a few lines of code, any input field can be enabled for scanning. On the mobile interface, users tap the camera icon next to a field, point their phone at a barcode, and the system instantly captures the information. Users no longer need to manually enter long product codes or search for items by name. The scanning process both speeds up data entry while reducing the risk of human error.
2. Customizable Workflows and Hardware Integration
Beyond basic camera-based scanning, Microsoft has designed the app to support more advanced workflows tailored to specific business needs. Developers can program custom scan actions triggered by buttons or even page events within the app. For example, the system can automatically initiate a scan when a page opens, or as part of a guided warehouse picking process.
3. Real-Time Inventory Control from Anywhere
Your information syncs automatically with Business Central- from anywhere. Teams can now access up-to-date inventory levels, sales data, purchase orders, and warehouse information on the go. Then, they can update that data in real time using just a phone or tablet. This is especially useful for businesses with distributed teams or multiple locations. Warehouse workers, delivery drivers, field technicians, and retail associates can all work within the same system. This ensures consistency and reducing communication delays. The system updates automatically with updates from the scanned item, making it easier to coordinate restocking, returns, transfers, and more.
Next Steps
Microsoft’s newest updates ensure that you can just scan and go. That includes whether you’re scanning a product in a warehouse or verifying inventory during a site visit.
