The shop floor mobile app for Business Central lets you register production data directly in the system without any integration. You work inside the Business Central interface, so there is nothing to connect or synchronise.
You can use the app on a computer, a tablet, or another device. The data you register goes straight into Business Central in real time.
The app works out of the box. You do not need any setup before you start registering runtime, selecting production orders, and posting data directly.
Shop floor app runs directly in Business Central
The shop floor mobile app does not require any integrations to Business Central. It works directly inside Business Central and is part of the Business Central interface. That means there is nothing to maintain between separate systems, because the app and the data live in the same place.
You can work with the app on a computer, a tablet, or a similar device, so you can place it where the work actually happens on the shop floor.
Register runtime and production orders without setup
Because the app runs directly in Business Central, it works out of the box. When you register runtime and select the production order number, you are looking directly into the production order list, exactly as you know it from Business Central.
This makes it simple to start using the app without doing any setup or configuration first. You just enter the relevant screen and start working.
Data is registered in real time
In this scenario, the app registers data directly in runtime. The registration is done right away. You do not need to postpone anything or process the data later, which keeps your production information current.
