Insight Works Offers Free and Subscription-based Apps for D365 Business Central

In addition to the Quality Inspector app, Insight Works offers several apps for manufacturing and distribution companies using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. In a recent blog, we highlighted their Product Configurator app for Dynamics 365 Business Central. There are many free apps in addition to the subscription-based apps listed on their website.
