Business Central Scheduling Still Breaks In Excel | Hendrik Bulens, Dime Software | Episode 307

In this episode of PartnerTalks, host Rick McCutcheon is joined by Hendrik Bulens, Managing Partner at Dime Software, to explore how AI is reshaping scheduling while still keeping human planners firmly in control. For many growing firms in field service, professional services, and engineering, planning often starts in Excel, Outlook, or informal manual systems. However, as volume increases and operational complexity grows, these tools begin to break down, creating gaps in visibility, billing accuracy, resource allocation, and delivery performance. The conversation highlights why Excel remains one of the most widely used planning tools globally, even as its limitations become more pronounced in scaling organizations. Once scheduling spans multiple jobs, resources, stock, and time entries, fragmented data leads to conflicting versions of the truth and operational inefficiencies.
