BRING MORE VARIETY TO OUR APP STORE

Clients love to stroll through our app store and pick what they need and what makes their clients happy. An optional notification? A user-friendly checkout element? A wormhole to other galaxies like ERP, PIM, CRM and other 3-letter-names? Develop, whatever is missing.
