Purpose

An effectively chosen Appstack is essential for creating scalable and efficient applications. It forms the core infrastructure, enabling smooth communication between application layers and preventing bottlenecks or errors in modern, layered architectures. 

This robust foundation allows applications to manage increased workloads and user demands without performance degradation, leading to optimized resource usage, minimal latency, and a seamless user experience, even during peak loads. Ultimately, the app stack is critical for an application's long-term growth and consistent performance.

Approved vs. Recommended Apps

Appventory facilitates the development of an App Stack by utilizing "Approved Apps." The authorization of these applications rests entirely with the tech advisor, contingent upon their professional judgment.

Tech advisors possess the authority to recommend additional applications for clients, specifically when these applications are considered essential for the successful creation of a client's App Stack. 

Appventory creates custom app stacks farther from generic solutions. This is accomplished through integrating internal and customer-facing apps, analytics, and secure backend systems ensuring they are precisely tailored to meet each client's unique requirements.

Creating and Customizing App Stacks

Appventory has tailored AppStacks, aligning with client needs ready to be assigned to the client . Also, the tech advisors can design and develop custom AppStacks from scratch for unique requirements to deliver efficient & a scalable solution to the client.

During the Appstack customization process, the tech advisor designates a "Preferred Payer,".This selection guarantees precise billing and optimized operations, aligned with client workflows.

1. Pay and On-charge client
The tech advisor will assume responsibility for client payments and will subsequently invoice the client, potentially incorporating a margin.

2. Pay and Include
The client bears responsibility for payment. The internal cost will be absorbed by the tech advisor, resulting in no margin.

3. Client Pays
The client bears direct responsibility for remitting payment to the software provider, and a margin is applicable.

Note: A margin is shown because even though the client pays the vendor directly, Appventory want advisors to see the opportunity if they switched customers to Pay & On-Charge Client option.

Assigning App Stacks to Clients and Identifying Opportunities. 

Tech advisors have the capability to dynamically assign and de-assign custom AppStacks based on evolving needs and strategic priorities. This adaptable and powerful tool goes beyond simple management, offering a framework for in-depth analysis and strategic planning. Its high effectiveness lies in its ability to facilitate the identification of potential revenue streams, allowing Clients to pinpoint untapped markets, and optimize existing resources for maximum profitability. 

Appstack Management 

Once configured, App Stacks become dynamic assets with versatile management options: edit, archive, or delete. A Tech Advisor provides intelligent guidance for these actions, ensuring efficiency and alignment with best practices. Developed by AppVentory, this functionality aims for seamless App Stack transitions and reassignments, especially crucial when associating them with different clients. 

AppStack boosts operational flexibility, enabling businesses to quickly adapt to changing needs, optimize resource allocation, and maximize revenue. This provides a significant competitive advantage, allowing advisors to swiftly respond to market shifts and seize emerging opportunities.
