Searching for improved efficiency in order taking as well
as in their collection records, Bebidas del Paraguay has developed a Mobile
Sales System using GeneXus .Net Mobile.
With this system the company creates a client route to be
visited with a specific frequency and call sequence. Sales reps take orders
based on price policies, promotions, discounts and credit policies configured
for each client. At the end of the day, each sales rep connects to the main data
base via wireless and synchronizes data to generate invoices and delivery
schedules.
The implementation of the Mobile Sales System enables
shorter times in order taking which so far had been performed manually. The
pre-sale staff save time for other activities and also have better information
available about the client at the time of the sale, which helps them offer their
clients better deals.
The challenge of developing with the latest technology in
a new and changing platform was faced with the help of GeneXus, which simplified
development substantially, pointed Hugo Alberto Correa, systems manager of
Bebidas del Paraguay S.A.
The solution was created with the GeneXus .Net Mobile
generator and it uses SQL Server Ce. Wireless communication of the Pocket PCs
uses Windows 2003 Mobile for Pocket PC, Windows 2000 Server as a server, and SQL
7 as Data Base Server.
Additionally, mistakes made with manual load of pre-sale
data are avoided, preventing unfulfilled orders. In this way, mistakes are kept
to a minimum and there is no need for load operators work.
