Exclusive ASAP SDK demo app for customers


The ASAP SDK demo app offers a visual prototype of the final application by replicating the original wireframes with interactive elements.

This static app includes hard-coded data and layout blocks, and can be installed on a phone for a realistic preview. By using the demo app, decision-makers can visualize the end product's design and user experience, facilitate a better understanding of the application's potential, and effectively communicate its value proposition.

Is it possible to assign more than one vendor to the same product? I saw this same question in this forum, from some time ago. Is this feature available or, at least, in Zoho's roadmap? If not, is there any trick to solve my problem? Without this feature, I simply cannot manage my company's inventory, limiting very much the use of Zoho CRM. Waiting for your reply.
