Sales Force Automation Suite

A full field-sales toolkit for the South African route-to-market, from national distributors down to the corner spaza shop, built to run offline and reconcile in rand

How Our Software Works?

Sales managers set up teams, users, outlets, SKUs, territories, beats, distributors, schemes and reporting rules in the admin portal. Field reps use the mobile app to mark AI-verified attendance, follow their assigned beat, check in to each spaza shop or supermarket by GPS, capture orders and stock, complete audits and questionnaires, log rand collections and expense claims, and review their day, all offline if the network drops. Managers watch it unfold on live dashboards and 40+ downloadable reports.
