One of the finest strengths of Dynamics GP is its ability to integrate with a variety of applications.Among those integrations is its ability to integrate with Mobile Sales applications. In today’s world of automation, Sales process play a key role in ensuring the financial stability of any organization that it is its backbone. Which is why, Sales processes in Enterprise applications have always been demanding to technology upgrades constantly so as to achieve an economy of operation in terms of reducing the cycle time for the process.

The solution integrates with Receivables, Sales Order processing and Inventory data in Dynamics GP.
