The integration we are using is automated with Netsuite and for Vena to be updated with the most recent actuals from Netsuite takes a few minutes, but I'm not sure exactly, since we schedule the load at 3am. When we load spreadsheets, it's a matter of seconds. For templates and reports to be refreshed with updated information, it also takes a few seconds (if that). Not sure about iOS or Android, we do not use Vena on mobile devices. Answered: Garvin Chan on September 22, 2020 It could be right away or overnight.
