ActiSales MobileSales

Leading companies in the distribution or Direct Store Delivery sales market are increasingly updating their systems to provide new ways to reduce paper handling, reduce invoicing & delivery errors and provide more efficient ways to access data. All of this enables the company to reduce net costs and therefore contribute to the business’ bottom line and improve the quality of customer interaction. ActiSales MobileSales solution addresses these issues through leading mobile and wireless technology, yet maintaining the current accounting and IT infrastructure, and makes it affordable for small to mid-size companies to have this technology, once only available to large corporations.

What is ActiSales MobileSales?

ActiSales MobileSales is a software solution which runs on any Pocket PC utilizing a Windows Mobile Operating System. It allows sales people that are mobile to have access to critical information such as client contacts, addresses, phone numbers, current balances, outstanding invoices, product codes and descriptions and most importantly, current inventory levels. ActiSales empowers the Sales staff to physically take a Sales Order directly on the Pocket PC, which also includes the client’s electronic signature. At the time of the order, he/she knows whether the product is in stock or not to set realistic customer expectations for delivery.

Desktop or Wireless, ActiSales MobileSales offers both.

For those users not needing immediate synchronization of orders and product updates between the main office and the mobile sales person, e-Nabler Corporation offers the Desktop version of ActiSales MobileSales. The Sales Rep synchronizes their Pocket PC from their QuickBooks Accounting software in the morning, before heading out for the day, so they are working with updated information. They create and save orders throughout the day on their Pocket PC and when they return in the evening, they simply synchronize the day’s sales orders or collected payments which get uploaded back into their QuickBooks accounting software.

Other users, usually with a larger sales force, require the ongoing wireless synchronization of client information and sales orders back to the office. They take advantage of ActiSales MobileSales Wireless version. Orders are synchronized within minutes of having the order signed, back to the main office for immediate order processing. The administrative staff can be mobile as well, since accessing the back office system can be done with a web based administrative system called ActiSales BackOffice. It is accessible from any PC with an Internet connection.

The wireless version helps keep accurate inventory data or expedite the order processing process so that more products can ship prior to daily shipping deadlines. Faster and more accurate delivery of products to the clients means increased customer satisfaction. It also eliminates the need for redundant data entry so that the invoicing to payment process is also shortened, thus increasing cash flow to your business. All of this is available without a large capital investment. e-Nabler Corporation is an ASP (Application Service Provider), who hosts a secure website for the data to be wirelessly synchronized from the Pocket PC. There is no need to buy expensive servers and operating systems, routers, modems, or the IT staff to support them. You just need to install a small interface program provided by e-Nabler, in the PC already running your accounting package like QuickBooks. As an added bonus, this web hosting offers a Disaster Recovery back-up for your company as well.

Optional hardware  

For those businesses wanting to or already employing bar code product scanning, some Pocket PCs have an integrated bar code scanner and if not, they have an SD slot to add a bar code scanner. ActiSales MobileSales BackOffice can create bar codes for use on your products to further streamline your inventory management.

Since most Pocket PCs are Bluetooth enabled and also have an infrared port (IR port), they are compatible with a variety of printers. The most popular and portable printer seems to be the Citizen CMP-10 which fits on the belt of the Sales Rep and offers a cash register type receipt. If your business requires 8.5 inch by 11 inch copies, then the HP 450 portable printer is the option for you.
