We’re at the halfway point of the year. How many business requests, process improvements, or “we really need to fix this” projects are sitting on the list for the second half?
Before anything gets started, the same questions usually come up.
How quickly does the business need it? Do we have the internal resources? Is it worth a custom development project? Will users actually adopt Read more...it? How much implementation and training time will be needed? What if the process changes? Can we control access? And, of course, do we have the budget?
That’s where App Builder can be a really practical option.
When you need a quick turnaround, a modern user experience, control over the process, and flexibility as the business changes, App Builder gives you another way to solve the request without turning every improvement into a full project.
Today’s example shows a simple warehouse solution built for users who need to complete inventory tasks from a mobile phone, tablet, or handheld device.
Scott creates 3 separate apps from one AI prompt. The workflows and M3 resources were prepared ahead of time, but the app experience itself was built with no programming.
The app includes: ✅ Ad hoc stock count ✅ Location and item lookup ✅ Stock balance from M3 ✅ Editable inventory count ✅ Stock count update back to M3 ✅ Internal stock movement ✅ From/to location fields ✅ Quantity movement ✅ Delivery picking ✅ Pick list line retrieval ✅ Smartphone/tablet-friendly design ✅ Modern card-based layout ✅ Publishable URL ✅ Option to run from a mobile device
I cut the demo down to 90 seconds for a quick watch, because we all have a holiday weekend to get ready for. The full 8-minute walkthrough is available in the chat for anyone who wants the full build.
Have a project list you’re working through? Send me a few examples. Let's see how App Builder would solve it. Show less...
Our two examples this week go behind the scenes and show how quickly apps can be adjusted to keep up with the business.
Apps are created to match a business process, but what happens when the business needs change, or users learn more about what they actually need?
With App Builder, those changes become part of the process.
Today’s example is an open order dashboard built to help users Read more...understand what needs attention across open orders.
The first version included:
✅ Total open orders ✅ Order value ✅ Stopped orders ✅ Unique customers ✅ Status distribution ✅ Orders by type ✅ Drill-down from chart to order to order line ✅ Delivery date updates directly from the app ✅ Customer details and address updates
Then came a simple tweak:
What if users could click “Stopped Orders” and immediately filter the dashboard to only those orders?
In the video, you’ll see the app updated, refreshed, and ready to test.
Your apps don’t have to be perfect on day one. Start with the core business need, then continue to adapt as users give feedback, new requirements appear, and the business sees what else would help.
What dashboard or process would your users keep improving if changes were this easy?

This manufacturer wanted a simpler way for operators to report production directly from the shop floor, without navigating M3 screens or filling out paper forms.
Packaged shop floor solutions can do a lot. But when your process doesn't quite fit the screens, you're often left choosing between change requests, custom development, or changing the way you work. Read more...
Our customers expect more.
Using AI App Builder, they now have a production reporting app with business rules embedded directly into the process, designed around how their operation works today.
And when requirements change tomorrow?
They can adapt the application themselves.
No waiting months. No starting over.
Just continuous improvement by the people who know the process best.
How would you change this process to suit your operation?
