Buyer context
Sales Force Automation Solutions for a complex channel
High visit frequency, a large general-trade universe, and rapid stock movement make outlet, route, order, and execution discipline central to growth. For this sector, the workflow should reflect distributors, sub-distributors, wholesalers, warung, minimarkets, supermarkets, and field sales teams, rather than forcing every participant into the same process.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What should FMCG buyers include in a sales force automation solution demonstration?
Use a real scenario involving distributors, sub-distributors, wholesalers, warung, minimarkets, supermarkets, and field sales teams. Include master-data creation, daily user work, an exception, an approval, and the management report required to close the process.
How should offline or dispersed field conditions be tested?
Pilot with representative users and locations, test data synchronization and recovery, and define which tasks must remain available when connectivity is limited.
What determines implementation scope?
Scope depends on user roles, master data, approval rules, integrations, reporting ownership, languages, and the number of distinct operating models included in the first phase.
