Resco, on the contrary, targets Integrators and Vendors that do not have much experience with mobile solutions development. Thus the development process would take them too much time and cause unnecessary complications. Utilization of Resco Asset Inventory prototype with source code and customization opportunities creates perfect start-up for successful inventory management application development.
