Access to Information
Your Shop In The Palm Of Your Hand
Business owners need access to accurate, up-to-date information how and when they want it to help them make more informed and responsive business decisions. Your system must allow you to access information easily and in real-time via screens and reports. And because the amount of information can be overwhelming, senior management needs to see the big picture and manage by exception, highlighting where there is a problem and then being able to quickly drill down to the details to examine the root cause.
Access to management information is useless if you must be chained to a desk to use it. In addition to summary snapshots and the ability to dig deep fast, shop owners and employees should be able to access their information from any remote location, just as if they were sitting in the office or working out on the shop floor. Mobile access via smartphones and tablets provides the control today’s busy shop owners and managers require.
Shop owners are typically involved in everything from estimating and engineering to sales and customer service. Mobile access to your job shop software can extend your reach, putting valuable information at your fingertips for customer-facing activities like producing a quote, checking receivables, job status, inventory balances, or the latest promise dates. An easy-to-use mobile app not only portrays a high-tech image, but also can be a competitive advantage.
