DEA is the latest version of DAC Express and makes ordering from your distributor even easier. Customers history files are now downloaded with the other files so that a salesrep and/or customer knows the minimum, maximum and average quantity they buy for each product. DEA works on all Apple devices running version 17.0 or later. When used on an iPhone, the camera scanner can be used to scan UPC barcodes directly from the warehouse shelves. Most Bluetooth scanners also work with DEA making it an affordable remote ordering solution for your sales force or retail customers. In addition, the Honneywell SL62 scanning sled can be used with the iPad mini offering a one-hand solution for salesreps or customers. DEA is used in conjunction with the MobiPrint app to print 1-up replacement shelf labels in the field.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GPM Empire at Free against DEA's $4.99. GPM Empire also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (798 vs 2). DEA's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
