THE STEPS
STEP 1
Get an overview
My sales
How does my performance develop? The B2B Sales APP shows you at any time the status and development of your sales per month or year - including comparisons with the previous two years.
My top clients
The ranking of your best customers helps you to assess where there is still a lot of potential. Here, too, a comparison with previous years makes developments visible.
My tasks
Another helpful CRM feature is the ability to report wishes and tasks to the sales office. Once a task is completed, the B2B Sales APP informs the sales representative.
News
News - for example in the product portfolio - is provided centrally and visualized in the B2B Sales APP.
Vacation replacement
So that you can relax carefree on vacation, your customers will be looked after by a field service colleague during your absence.
STEP 2
Daily planning
Dates
The B2B Sales APP shows and distinguishes centrally predefined, self-agreed, one-time and recurring appointments. Use wiping gestures to browse through your appointments, which are clearly arranged in a daily or monthly view.
Optimal route planning
All customers who visit you on one day are shown on the integrated map. The order and route can be easily rearranged by drag & drop.
Google Maps
Thanks to integrated Google Maps, the navigation system guides you to the nearest customer by the shortest route. The customer calls already completed are shown in green on the map.
Customers on the way
Maybe you spontaneously make an appointment with a customer whose location is close to your route during the day? The APP shows you all customers along the route. Add appointments yourself and supplement the daily planning recommended by the ERP or CRM system.
STEP 3
Preparation for the customer
Customer selection
The customer currently being served is clearly displayed in the catalog area. In the customer overview, the active customer can be changed at any time: orders already entered, shopping cart and wish list contents of all your customers are retained.
Dashboard
The customer currently being served is clearly displayed in the catalog area. In the customer overview, the active customer can be changed at any time: orders already entered, shopping cart and wish list contents of all your customers are retained.
Company data & contact persons
New contact persons can be created in the customer overview. Existing contacts can be edited easily. All changes are passed on to the ERP or CRM system during synchronization.
Branch customers
Some of the companies you serve have a branch structure with different delivery and billing addresses. B2B Sales APP also supports these structural subtleties.
Birthdays
The birthday can be entered for each contact person: isn't it a nice gesture to congratulate your customers personally?
STEP 4
Present products
Search
The prominently placed search finds articles, customers and orders.
Hit lists
Hit lists are scrolled vertically with wipe gestures - no scrolling required. Various sorting criteria can be applied. For each item listed in the hit list, the quantities last ordered by the active customer are displayed. A touch of the finger and the article is again in the shopping cart.
Filters
In order to get to the desired articles with just a few gestures, hit lists can be conveniently filtered: by product group, novelties, bestsellers, already ordered or not yet delivered articles.
Product information
At a glance you will find information such as product descriptions, texts, tables and the last dated order quantities.
Product pictures
Images of the article can be displayed either small, full screen or zoomable. Article images appear pin sharp on the high-resolution displays of tablets and smartphones.
Cross Selling
Images of the article can be displayed either small, full screen or zoomable. Article images appear pin sharp on the high-resolution displays of tablets and smartphones.
Actions
Current promotions and quantity discounts are highlighted in hit lists and article views. The shopping cart takes into account customer and article-specific price conditions.
Parts lists
Products composed of several articles are displayed in detail in the form of a parts list.
STEP 5
Take orders
Order history
B2B customers in particular often reorder the same items. In the clearly arranged order history, selected order items can be placed in the current shopping cart again.
Scan2Cart
Hand scanners can be connected via USB or - wirelessly - via Bluetooth. This allows articles to be conveniently placed in the virtual shopping cart directly on the sales shelf or in the warehouse area.
Shopping cart
Even with large orders with many individual items, the overview remains intact. When changing quantities or after removing individual items (simply by means of a wiping gesture), the shopping cart automatically recalculates the order volume. If the set minimum order value of the respective customer is reached, the contents of the shopping cart can be completed and thus converted into an order.
Labels
Additional label markings can be optionally ordered for each order item.
Mails
Following a customer visit, quotation requests and orders are transferred to the ERP system as part of the synchronization process. The customer automatically receives a confirmation of the order receipt by e-mail. This contains an overview of all order items with their quantities and prices, enabling the customer to check all details again.
Logistics
In direct consultation with your customer, you determine the delivery date in the APP. The availability of the items (at the time of the last synchronization) is also available offline within the app.
Accuracy
All order data is validated in the APP and is therefore consistent and error-free. Queries during the logistical processing are largely avoided - as are costly returns.
STEP 6
Maintaining customer relations
Visit reports
With the help of the B2B Sales APP, the visit documentation can be done on the side: Digital templates that are supplemented by photos with the integrated CRM help with the evaluation. This means that the follow-up appointment with your customer is practically already prepared.
Appendices
As in an e-mail, Office documents in all common formats can be added as attachments to your visit report.
Wish list
Perhaps your customer has not yet been able to decide on a specific product? To be able to pick up the ball again on the next visit, it is best to keep such items on the customer's wish list. From there they can be easily moved to the shopping cart.
Offers
Tap with your finger on the shopping cart - and the selection becomes an offer. The corresponding PDF document is generated via the BACKEND and sent to the customer by e-mail.
Price list
A price list in PDF format can be generated from a customer's individually compiled range of articles at the touch of a finger - either in catalog or table design. Customer-specific prices are automatically taken into account.
Print catalog
With the help of the B2B Sales APP you can generate the customer-specific article assortment as a print catalog in PDF format. Various options are available for selection - for example, whether to use EIAs or individual prices.
Tasks
Using the CRM feature, you can report wishes and tasks to the internal sales team. Once a task is completed, the B2B Sales APP informs you.
