So what i am planning to build is SAAS service that provides all the feature's listed above and more, customised for an (unspecified for competitive purpose) industry. The web client is used for entry of data related to sales, stock, payroll. I am also making apps for various operator's inside the plant to upload data using their android phone's and tablets.

Then i want to process and display all this data (related to Manufacturing, Sales, Marketing etc) on web, iOS and Android.

So essentially there will be apps for employee's working in the plant (for data entry) as well as for the managers and owners (to monitor everything and make decisions)

I want the web dashboard to look somewhat similar to - https://demo.baremetrics.com

And since i have no experience in building mobile apps i want to know what languages/frameworks would be best suitable to develop good/native looking apps for iOS and Android using web technologies.

Thanks.

It sounds a bit like you would put the cart before the horse. You first should think about your data model, including how to solve user access and permission logic. Then build an API to access your data and a generic Web Interface to access the API. And then you can start thinking about which framework you use for your mobile apps. If all this is done you could add a dashboard.

I am about two years in to something similar. resaleAI.com

Don't worry about keeping the vertical secret for competitive reasons. You either have the domain expertise to make it great or you don't. And anyone with the domain knowledge knows what they want, but likely don't have the tech skills to make it happen. If you have both, start with the tools you know and get going.

I went the web/bootstrap path for most of it. I'll do mobile apps this year.

Get customers first. I had customers before the project had a name LR a signup form or much of anything.

Got fast.
