INVEX-GO includes a suite of mobile dashboards that span APP’s operations, including branch sales activity, sales related customer information, current inventory and incoming positions; these dashboards provide both historical and current data.  INVEX-GO provides access to INVEX data in real-time bypassing the limitations of many other ERPs’ analytics dashboards that require overnight data processing.

The following are the major mobile dashboards & functions provided by INVEX-GO:

  • Single or multi-branch scoreboard with open quotes, bookings, and sales
  • Daily snapshot with quote/order bookings, and order backlog
  • Customer profile dashboard
  • Salesperson profile dashboard
  • Inventory lookup with tag details and certificates
  • Incoming inventory summary and purchase order detail lookup
  • Quote/order entry for quick multi-line quote entry

“I can now easily see our sales and bookings activity for our company whether I am away from my desk or travelling on business, right from my phone. The drill down capability also allows me to view this information for the company, branch, salesperson, or right down to the sales order item. The ability to view our pipe inventory and view the inventory information and test certificates has also been a nice plus.”
