You've identified the main advantage of using an email based framework.
Send request----oops hit a dark zone I'm offline....ah back online now
here comes my response.
Probably a little more latency than a real-time app and not as sexy, but
provides the info needed by the salesman which is the ultimate sales
team's end goal.
Provide customer service, get more orders, make more money !!
And...oops dropped my cheap phone, may I have another :-)

Guys,
I understand all advantages of using Web App instead of native Mobile
App.
I think about native app because of one main reason - connection. Poland
is not like US with GSM range ... our salesman will work (maybe not
often but still) in such places where mobile phone havn't access to
mobile web, however they still have to work. How to resolve access to
ERP system without access to GSM? Web app rather not support such issue
... or maybe am I wrong?
About fragile - yes, Hero is delicate ... but CEO say that we havn't
money to buy "hard" devices ...
