Are you tired of struggling to keep track of your inventory and sales representatives' activities? Well, SalesSuite SFA is here to help! Our Sales Force Automation app is user-friendly and designed specifically for companies dealing with sales activities, including inventory management, leave management, tracking orders, viewing catalogues, and more. With three different user applications—one for sales representatives and a double-layered structured application for administrators—SalesSuite SFA has everything you need to manage your sales process efficiently.
Sales Representative View:
1. Homepage: This is the one-stop shop for important information and features for sales representatives. Sales agents can access and amend their personal profiles, as well as track their achievements and goals. Monthly KPIs can also be evaluated for more information on daily visitors, sales, and task targets. Tracking Attendance, Managing Leave, Managing Orders, Planning Visits, Collecting Debts & Cash, Generating Orders, Monitoring Customers, Storing Catalogues, Producing Reports, Making To-Do Lists, and Viewing Leaderboards are among the tabs available in addition to the data.
2. Attendance: The first tile on SalesSuite SFA is the Attendance tile and provides an overview of a sales rep’s daily and monthly sales targets, and it is where a sales rep can punch in and punch out for the day. This feature helps reps stay on track and achieve their goals. When punching out, the sales rep has the option to submit feedback and suggestions for improvement, where they can leave their comments for the admin users. Moreover, this is also the tab where sales reps can apply for leave. See a customized leave calendar! Tabs for sick, casual, no-pay, off, and awaiting proof. Each shows the available leave as well as the days used. A separate tab offers comprehensive leave information as well as uploaded verification.
3. My Orders: This acts as not only a daily sales record app, but can be filtered even by the month or year, showcasing pending orders, delayed orders, and canceled orders. The tab provides sales reps with a color-coded view of their client's orders, making it easy to see which orders need attention and take appropriate actions to ensure timely delivery. Sales reps can view their orders at any stage such as pending, completed, or canceled. Each view gives a breakdown of the customer's details along with the total outstanding amount and the products purchased. This feature allows sales reps to manage their orders efficiently and keep their clients happy.
4. Visits: Open this tab to view sales reps' daily visit targets, along with their planned GPS route. This feature helps sales reps plan their day and ensures that they visit the right clients at the right time. The GPS route helps sales reps navigate to their clients' locations and helps them avoid traffic and other obstacles. This feature allows sales reps to manage their visits efficiently and ensures that they meet their targets. When checking your visits, a customizable feature is offered for each client for sales reps to fill out a survey on areas for improvement or information on how productive the visit was. This survey can also be a questionnaire for the customer that the sales rep can fill on behalf of them.
Notice, how the sales representative’s delayed visits are highlighted in red, and the completed visits are marked with a green tick. There is also a section to showcase the time a rep should visit the client in.
5. Create Order: This tab of SFA allows sales reps to place orders for their clients from the warehouse. They can also obtain their customers' e-signature and share the receipt with them. This feature eliminates the need for sales reps to carry around bulky order books and allows them to take orders quickly and easily. It also provides a secure way to obtain signatures and share receipts with clients.
Here is a step-by-step of how you can create an order:
i. Identify the customer and check their credit limit and outstanding debts. This helps ensure that the customer has the financial capability to make purchases from the warehouse.
ii. Choose a suitable warehouse from a database. This involves considering factors such as the warehouse's location, stock availability, and reputation.
iii. Select items through the app. The app provides access to the warehouse's stock information and even added promotions, making it quick and easy for the customer to choose the desired items and add them to their cart.
iv. There is also the option for a sales rep to add to a customer's order through the ‘take stock’ option. This is showcased as individual products that provide remaining stock with the customer and warehouse and displays how much stock the customer already has and the option to add onto the stock from the warehouse given.
v. Sign electronically within the app and receive an order confirmation! A customizable feature can be added for the sales rep to provide an invoice-sharing screen; a button that invokes the share screen of the sales rep’s device, allowing them to share or print a PDF version of the customer’s invoice through communication channels such as Whatsapp, E-mail, or any app installed on their device. This process ensures that the customer has agreed to the terms and conditions of the purchase, and the confirmation provides peace of mind that the order has been processed successfully.
vi. And that’s not all! Instead of creating an order, you can also file a return order electronically through the app if needed. If items need to be returned, the customer can file a return order through the sales representative and the rep follows the electronic process for a quick and convenient return experience. To do this, a sales rep must choose the product from that order, select how many items need returning, and provide a reason for returning, for example, it can be due to damaged or expired goods.
6. Debts and Cash: Click on this section to see a color-coded view of the outstanding amounts due from customers. A sales rep can click on each client assigned to them and view a breakdown of that client’s debts. The colors indicate the level of risk associated with each debt, with high-risk debts shown in red. This feature allows sales reps to manage their outstanding debts and helps them identify clients who may require additional attention. The representative can also click on each invoice of the client and collect the cash due. This process can take place in two ways: when a sales rep opts for the cash collection option and can enter the desired amount for collection, they can choose to collect the amount through cash or cheque payments. Should the payment be collected via cheque, a cheque number must be provided along with a cheque date, after which the back-end financial team can approve the cheque once it’s been realized.
7. Customers: The Customers section of SFA provides sales reps with information about their clients. This feature helps sales reps to better understand their client's needs and preferences and enables them to provide more personalized service, the perfect sales tracking app for large and small businesses! Sales reps can also add new customers and view their customer acquisition target for that particular month against what their actual achieved target is. For instance, the app shows how many customers a sales rep was meant to visit out of their daily targets, and if they have visited those customers, then their target has been met. Under this section, you can also view a customer's performance (such as their total sales, average sales per visit, and default payments), payment history, order history, and visit history!
8. Catalogue: The Catalogue tab is an electronic feature displayed under a tie on your homepage, showcasing the products available, like food and electronics, and ongoing promotions. This feature is particularly useful because it eliminates the need for sales reps to carry around bulky catalogs and allows them to showcase products and prominently feature promotions quickly and easily. It also allows clients to view products and promotions conveniently, making it more likely that they will make a purchase.
9. Reports: The Reports section allows administrators to generate reports based on company preferences. You can filter your report based on any of your preferences, be it according to sales reports or debt reports for customers. This feature helps administrators to analyze sales data and identify areas for improvement. It also provides valuable insights into customer behavior and enables administrators to make data-driven decisions.
10. Leaderboard: The Leaderboard section provides information on the individual, team, or entire sales program. This feature allows administrators to track the performance of their sales reps and identify top performers. It also helps motivate sales reps by creating healthy competition and motivation to strive further!
11. To-do: The To-do tab is exactly that; a to-do list for sales representatives! Sales reps can add comments or pictures as well. This feature helps sales reps stay organized and ensures that they do not miss any important tasks. Moreover, admins can assign tasks to sales representatives which can be ticked off by sales reps upon completion, thereby, making this feature a task management system for the entire team.
Admin View:
1. Homepage: Welcome to the Admin view of the all-in-one sales management app, where managing your sales team has never been easier! As an admin, the first thing you'll see after logging in is the homepage, which provides an overall view of your monthly or year sales graph. You can also check out the top-performing agents and their sales records, giving you insight into who's killing it and who could use a little boost. The graph is color-coded, making it easy to understand at a glance.
2. Sales: The "Sales" tab is divided into four sections:
i. The highest-performing groups: This groups the sales representatives according to specific groups like brands or products. This helps to identify the best sales record and which groups are performing well and which maybe need more attention.
ii. The highest-performing areas: This displays the segments that are performing the best right now. This gives you an idea of which areas to focus on for maximum sales growth.
iii. The highest-performing brands: With this, you can see which brands have reduced in sales but are still high performing (these are shown in red), and which brands have improved (these are shown in green). This helps you prioritize which brands need more attention and which are doing well.
iv. The highest-performing products: This shows you which products are selling the best, regardless of brand. Use this information to identify trends and optimize your product offerings.
v. The gauge chart under this section provides a handy overview of how sales have been trending so far this month or year. It breaks down targets, achieved accounts, non-delivered orders, and total customers in a fun and easy-to-read graphical format.
3. Visits: The "Visits" feature lets you see how many visits your sales reps have made this day, month, or year. You can even see which visits were productive and which weren't. Productive visits include taking orders for delivery, and they're the ones that really count! This sales performance dashboard helps you identify which reps are making the most visits and track their productivity over time. Use this information to identify areas for improvement and help your reps hit their targets.
4. Orders: Click on the "Orders" tab, and you'll get a quick view of how your sales are doing. You can see how many orders are waiting for approval, pending, sent out, delivered, cancelled, or delayed. This gives you a snapshot of your team is performance and helps you prioritize where to focus your attention.
5. Login: This is a unique feature that puts sales reps on the map, literally. Our unique "Login" feature lets you see exactly where your sales reps are at any given time. You can even click on each rep to see their route for the day. This helps you optimize sales routes and ensure that your reps are visiting the right places at the right times. It's like having a bird's eye view of your entire sales team, and it's pretty cool if we do say so ourselves.
