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
Procurement happens on site visits and shop floors. React Native can share a TypeScript model with the web ERP while still feeling like a phone app. Weak networks and offline queues matter more than animations.
Tie-in to ESG
Supplier data is also carbon and compliance data. I cover that in ESG, sustainability, and ERP.
