Capabilities

Everything you need to build

A complete framework from AL service to rendered mobile screen — no mobile expertise required.

phonelink

Server-Driven UI

Define every mobile screen in AL — layout, components, and actions. No mobile code required; the Android client renders whatever your BC service returns.

bolt

Real-time RPC

Every scan, tap, and field change triggers a direct JSON-RPC call to Business Central. Results render on the device in milliseconds.

extension

Extensible by Design

Register custom services, inject filter options, add label providers, and override behaviour — all through BC integration events.

translate

Multi-language

Full XLIFF-driven localisation. Translations resolve per user, per company, or per device locale automatically via MobileLocalization220FDW.

verified_user

Azure AD Auth

Secured with Entra ID. Configure once in Mobile Setup — users sign in with their existing Business Central credentials.

inventory_2

Warehouse-Ready

Built-in step engine for multi-step workflows, bin/lot/serial tracking, label printing, and inventory adjustments out of the box.
