The advent of innovative technologies and the exponential growth of mobility is compelling businesses to offer seamless experiences across form factors. ERP vendors are making major strides in facilitating new scenarios for users to work with hand-held devices by offering mobile capabilities that focus on improving employee productivity while on-the-go thus enabling them to stay connected to processes round-the-clock. In addition, you benefit from improved quality of service, stronger business relationships, and more precise data capture. Let’s look at a few scenarios and see how mobile ERP capabilities are providing immersive, engaging and action-oriented experiences in the workplace:
