With the recent release of our mobile app, we decided to take a look at the benefits it offers in common business applications. Mobile inventory management can benefit firms in many ways. For this reason, we wanted to highlight a few common business process setups and how Clear Spider can help in each scenario.

Customers can download our mobile app to conveniently access their vendor’s inventory system. Also, they can update their inventory quantities. As well as place orders directly to the system from their smartphone. As a result, both organizations will always have the most up to date information.
