The bulk of salesman operation is on the road. So how do supervisors manage and monitor their performance remotely while increasing their productivity?
Salesmen are Always on a Time Crunch
Their day in life usually goes like this; early in the morning and at the end of each day, salesmen have to go to the headquarter for daily attendance regardless of their route plan for the day. Principal companies then assigned them with a schedule of existing clients list that they need to visit in a day.
With existing clients, salesmen usually take sales orders, collect payments, reporting inventory levels, take in complaints, surveys, and more. Salesmen can also prospect other retail stores as new clients to increase the company’s sales expansion.
Since salesmen have to do attendance at the office, they sometimes end up taking a long detour away from their daily route plan to clock in and out at the office. When they finally handed over the documents at the headquarters at the end of the day, administration from the company has to collect and input the data into the system for it to be processed to the next step.
Since data collected are still paper-based there are a lot of delays from the order first taken until the products arrive. Not only does it take a lot of time and meticulous manual input, but paper-based workloads are also prone to human error.
AdvoWork is a mobile app solution that helps salesmen to streamline its operation. Now, they can simply do attendance through their mobile app. With a built-in GPS, salesmen have a better navigation tool to go through their day. This way, they can fit more client visits and ends their day on time.
