Goods receiving 01
Efficient and accurate registration of incoming goods based on purchase orders in Business Central
VisionScan allows you to quickly scan barcodes on items upon receipt and get automatic display of relevant purchase orders from Business Central. Specify the quantities received and send data directly to Business Central as the goods for the purchase order are fully or partially received.

Location transfers 02
Easy and organized movement of goods within the warehouse, between locations and to vans
Move items between locations with a single scan — whether it's for a van, remote warehouse or return warehouse. VisionScan allows you to specify the reason for the move, such as “broken item” or “reserved”, and the item move can also be for filling the vans. With the possibility of serial number and lot number management, full tracking is ensured, and items can always be searched on the mobile or handheld terminal via part of the item number or name.
Order picking for delivery 03

Correct registration of goods consumption directly on the project
Scan from mobile and track product consumption directly on projects or tasks in Business Central with VisionScan. Employees can scan the item, record serial and lot numbers, as well as indicate who the item is delivered to or which project the consumption is to be recorded on. Even if the item is not scanned, it can be found via item number or name from the mobile, which ensures proper item consumption on the project and fast project follow-up.
Inventory Counting 05

Warehouse management with barcode scanners
Manual warehouse registration is costly: item numbers get mistyped, stocktaking drags on, and the inventory in the system doesn't match the shelves. A warehouse system with a scanner removes the source of error at the point of registration.
With VisionScan, warehouse staff use a handheld scanner or mobile device to scan barcodes, and the registration lands directly in Business Central — from goods receipt through picking to stocktaking. No paper notes, no re-keying.
The solution is built to be adopted without extensive training, so the gains show quickly: fewer errors, faster handling and an inventory you can trust.
Warehouse scanning for Business Central – how it works
Business Central keeps track of items, locations and inventory – but in many warehouses, movements are still written down on paper and typed in afterwards. That means errors, outdated inventory levels and double work.
VisionScan moves the registration out to the goods: an app for Business Central with a companion mobile app for handheld terminals, tablets and smartphones (iOS, Android and Windows). Warehouse staff scan the barcode and register goods receipts, picks, moves between locations, counts, sales returns and inventory adjustments directly in Business Central – and can take photo documentation of received and shipped goods and print barcode labels for the warehouse along the way.
VisionScan installs from Microsoft AppSource, is available in Danish, English and Swedish – and you can try the solution for free before you decide.
