Your ERP is an extension of your business, and you want to take your business with you wherever you go. Mobile solutions to commonplace problems are becoming the norm, and ERP is no exception; 2014 is going to see a huge increase in ERP systems that tout “mobility” as a deciding factor. We’ve talked before about how the mobile ERP landscape is changing, so let’s take a look at what a mobile ERP solution can actually do.
MOTION FOR SYTELINE: MOBILE ERP
For the purpose of this post, we’re going to use Motion for SyteLine as our mobile ERP example. SyteLine is a long standing ERP solution that recently released a new version of their software that includes a lot of mobile functionality. Mobile ERP is becoming a major requirement for many businesses, so it makes sense that the newest version of SyteLine would incorporate such features.
The concept behind mobile ERP such as Motion for SyteLine is simple; you need to take full advantage of mobile devices to deliver alerts, approvals, and tasks with embedded businesses intelligence. This data needs to automatically focus on valuable in-context information related to the work you’re doing at any given moment. With mobile ERP, you can access graphs, charts, and critical information to help you act faster and work efficiently.
When using a mobile ERP such as Motion for SyteLine, you are able to bring information to where you and your customers actually do business; whether it’s on the road or on location, you’ll have access to critical customer data when and where you need it most. On top of that, applications like Motion allow for voice recognition and location awareness which means you get even more functionality that your ERP’s desktop counterpart. By connecting your ERP to mobile functions like group collaboration and video conference calls, you can do business better by making decisions faster and more accurately than if you were tied to a desk.
