Sales people can instantly check inventory, see if a customer still owes the company money, and enter orders. The moment an employee enters the data, the stock is immediately reserved and on its way to the customer. “This mobility is fantastic,” says Mr. Chia. “It allows us to plan and be more responsive to our customers.
