Agresso enables users to simply track transactions and locate supporting documentation. Furthermore, customers can modify reports to their preferences, which can save an immense amount of time. When the setup box is open, users are unable to use the paste option.

Transcation tracking is easier and can find backing document

Paste option can't be used when the setup box is opened

There are no redeeming features that I can identify, aside from perhaps the introductory page design.
