Enjoy cost-effective hosting with flexible deployment and room for payment model improvement

I use only one feature, which is the droplet, and it has been satisfactory. The droplet feature is valuable for hosting my applications as it is particularly cost-effective and serves my needs well. I also have total freedom over what I use, and I have a better user interface and documentation compared to Oracle.

Provides easy navigation to individual transaction levels and good stability

The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.
