In any organization, managers play a pivotal role in translating strategy into action. But with multiple departments, dispersed teams, and continuous performance demands, managers need more than intuition—they need data, mobility, and visibility. This is why a Manager Application integrated with ERP systems like Odoo becomes a strategic asset.

At AST Solutions, we create custom-built ERP-powered Manager Apps that put performance metrics, approvals, and operational control into the hands of decision-makers—anytime, anywhere.

Common Managerial Pain Points

1. Fragmented Information Streams

Decision-makers often rely on fragmented reports from different departments, which delays response time.

2. Approval Delays

Approvals for purchases, leaves, or orders are stuck in inboxes or outdated systems.

3. Poor Performance Oversight

Without real-time dashboards or alerts, issues go unnoticed until targets are missed.

4. Limited Mobility

Managers on the move find it hard to access up-to-date data or authorize workflows.

• Approve leave, purchase, and workflow requests

• View real-time performance dashboards

• Monitor KPIs and operations from any location

It transforms leadership from reactive to proactive.
