An ERP mobile app that copies every desktop screen will not get used. The slice that gets used is vendor procurement: suppliers, purchase requests, approvals, and status.

What belongs on the phone

Raise a request. See if the vendor is approved. Approve a PO. Check delivery. That is the job. Master data, financial close, and 40-column grids stay on the web.

Why React Native

Tie-in to ESG
