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.
