About

    • The SmartPDE Mobile app can be used in a variety of settings, but primarily inside a Venue's Storeroom:
      • A use case would be that an Operator receives delivery of Product (no PO has been created), confirms the Products' quantities & costs into the SmartPDE Mobile app, and sends this information from the SmartPDE Mobile app to BackOffice by creating a Manual Receipt attaching the specified Products with their CostEx and sending this Stock transaction to the server i.e. BackOffice where the Admin posts that Manual Receipt and accepts the Products within the database via BackOffice
      • At a later point, the Operator can select certain Products and Create a Stock Transfer from a Venue and Store to any other Store within the available Venue/s
      • It supports Multi-Venue architecture as well
