Today’s buyers are increasingly relying on the Internet to streamline procurement processes. However, many applications still treat the Internet as an external source of information. Only Slingshot integrates the ability to shop the web for any item on a request or PO.
Slingshot allows requisitions, purchase orders, supplier invoices, P-Card statements and expense reports to be approved on mobile devices, tablet computers or by eMail.
Slingshot has converted its native mobile development environments to the cross-platform Apache Cordova toolset (also known as Adobe PhoneGap). This makes Slingshot’s applications available on all popular phones including Android, IOS, Windows phone, and Blackberry. The new toolset promises to speed development as Slingshot broadens its mobile offerings. The “Cordova based” versions of Slingshot’s mobile Apps will be included in release G2-7.3 which will be available in late December.
Slingshot announces the ability to create search formulas for filtering on all search forms. Search formulas allow the user to select a set of records by specifying filtering criteria at the top of the form.
Slingshot has announced support for “horizontal scalability” and failover support. These changes will be part of release G2-7 scheduled for completion in November. The new infrastructure provides an enterprise scale for all Slingshot applications.
