Development of a Manufacturing System Mobile Application for Distributor Support

Distributors currently lack immediate access to essential product information, conversion tools, and resource materials, leading to inefficiencies and reliance on manual processes. This results in delayed decision-making, potential mismatch of product selection, and suboptimal customer support, hindering overall operational effectiveness and customer satisfaction.
