Web client
Same ERP, more flexibility. The new web-based way to access your Monitor.
What is Monitor web client?
The new web client is a browser-based interface where you run your Monitor ERP system. It offers the same core functionality as the Windows-based client, but with the added benefit of flexibility thanks to web access. The only difference is how you access your Monitor system. If you're already using our Windows client today, we can guarantee that you will feel right at home with our web client’s interface. All the existing functionality of Monitor is exactly the same since the server and database have not been changed.
Why use the web client?
- Accessible from any device: Use any modern device with a browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) – no longer limited to Windows PCs.
- No installation or updates needed: Always run the latest version via your browser.
- Familiar interface: If you’ve used the Monitor ERP Windows client, the look and feel will be familiar – keeping training to a minimum.
- Innovation ready: The web platform enables future development of more advanced features moving forward.

FAQ - Monitor web client
When will the new Monitor web client be available to me?
The new client is still in development and is being tested by a select few pilot customers. The rollout will continue throughout 2025, and our goal is to make it available for everyone as soon as all functionality is ready.
Are there any additional costs involved to get access to the new web-based client?
No, it will be provided to all customers as part of the standard system.
Do I need to buy or upgrade hardware?
In most cases, no upgrades will be necessary. The web service can typically run on the same server as your existing Monitor application server. Any device that supported the old client should be fully capable of running the new web client as well.
What device do I need to run the new client?
You can use any computer or tablet with a modern web browser like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
How long does it take to upgrade to the new client?
Getting started is quick and simple. For on-prem systems, the only requirement is for the system administrator to install a web server service – a task that typically takes less than an hour.
If you’re using Monitor Cloud, there’s no action needed. Access to the web client will be enabled automatically once it becomes available.
For regular users, no setup is required – just enter the system URL in a web browser to start using the new client.
How does the new client differ from the old Windows client?
The biggest change is how you access Monitor – the new web client runs entirely in your browser, without needing to install any software. The user interface has been designed to closely resemble the Windows client, making the transition both smooth and intuitive.
While there are some visual differences due to the web-based design, all data, modules, settings, and procedures remain the same. You get the full functionality of Monitor ERP, just with greater flexibility and ease of access.
Can I continue using the old Windows-based client?
Yes, during the transition period both the old Windows client and the new web client can be used simultaneously within the same system. However, the Windows client will be phased out within about a year. Going forward, new features and user interfaces will be developed exclusively for the web client.
What is the difference compared to the mobile client, Monitor Mobile?
Monitor Mobile is designed specifically for smaller devices such as smartphones, handheld scanners, and tablets that don’t typically have a keyboard or mouse. Monitor Mobile focuses on features like barcode scanning for mobile work scenarios.
Whereas the new Monitor web client targets slightly larger screens and desktop users, though it can also be used on tablets and medium-sized devices. The web client offers the full functionality of the old Windows client, while Monitor Mobile provides a streamlined set of features perfect for mobile work tasks.
