A Recognition Earned by Every Person Behind the Platform
1Channel (Channelplay SaaS Pvt. Ltd.) has been named “Best Sales Team Automation Platform 2026 - India” at The SaaS-ies 2026 by Acquisition International Magazine.
It is a proud moment for us, and it belongs to the entire team that builds, supports and improves the platform every day.
Here is a short look at what the recognition means to us, and what sales team automation covers on 1Channel.
What This Recognition Means to Us
The title was awarded at The SaaS-ies 2026 by Acquisition International Magazine, and we are grateful to the magazine for the recognition.
It reflects the hard work, ideas, persistence and commitment of our entire team, and every milestone along the way has been a collective effort.
A big thank you to Acquisition International Magazine, and an even bigger one to the 1Channel team.
The Work Behind the Title
Field sales has many moving parts. Reps cover routes, retailers expect timely service, and managers need to see the market while the information is still useful.
Much of our work goes into solving these challenges, and into continuously improving how businesses manage their sales teams, retail execution and performance.

What Sales Team Automation Looks Like on 1Channel
On 1Channel Sales Force Automation, the work runs across a web portal for admins and managers and a mobile app for field reps.
Admins configure users, stores, products and beat plans. Field teams then execute through the app, and the data flows into analytics for real-time reporting.
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Attendance and leave | Attendance marked from the mobile app, leave requests with approvals, and attendance summaries with regularization |
| Beat and route planning | Structured beat plans that set which outlets each rep visits and on which days |
| Visits and sales capture | Reps record visits, stock and daily sales from the field |
| Retail execution | Merchandising campaigns, POSM tracking, store audits and questionnaires captured in the market |
| Approvals and expenses | Activity, leave, claim and attendance approvals, plus expense management |
| Dashboards and reports | Dashboards configured for your business, ready-made reports, and a Report Builder for custom views |
Because these areas share one platform, the numbers a manager reviews on a dashboard draw on the same activity reps record in the app.
Sales Force Automation is used across FMCG, consumer durables, pharma, building materials and other field-driven industries.
What Comes Next
We will keep improving how businesses manage their sales teams, retail execution and performance. That is the work this recognition encourages us to continue.
Thank you once again to Acquisition International Magazine for the recognition, and to every member of the 1Channel team who made this possible.
Here's to smarter sales operations and many more milestones together.
