Worker Apps

Key takeaways

  • Each role gets the app it needs, nothing more.
  • Authorized users carry geography, category and read/write limits.
  • Renaming, colors and content are configuration.

A buyer does not need the factory view, and a store manager does not need the CFO view. Ten focused Worker Apps beat one universal portal.

The demo ships ten: buying, pricing, planning, supply chain, clienteling, customer service, factory, marketing, CFO and command center.

Restrictions are part of the app

Authorized users are listed per app with their limits: geographies, product categories, read-only or write, budget and operating window.

A second approver can be required above a threshold.

Names, colors and layout are changed in the Control Plane, with the change logged.
