How It Works

How a UAE FMCG Field Day Runs, Start to Finish

Every van sales, pre-sales, merchandiser and key-account visit, from the first GPS attendance check-in to the final secondary order, runs on one platform across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the wider Emirates.

Beat Planning Anchored to Makani and Onwani Addresses

Hypermarkets, supermarkets, mini-markets and baqalas are mapped to fixed days, with each stop pinned to its Makani point or Onwani address rather than an approximate location. Route planning sequences the shift automatically, and a missed call re-assigns to the next available slot so coverage doesn't slip.

Sell-Out, Order Capture and AED Collections

In-store data capture covers shelf and chiller share, competitor pricing, batch, expiry and SKU-wise ordering, syncing to the distributor the moment a visit closes. Card, digital-wallet and Aani transfer collections post against open invoices alongside cash, so nothing waits on a manual reconciliation.

Productivity Dashboards and 1Voice AI

Live boards track rep productivity, beat compliance, drop size and AED revenue by territory. 1Voice answers a prompt like "Sharjah baqalas not visited this week" without a custom report being built. Daily summary emails land with the area sales manager each morning.

Complete Platform

Attendance, Beats, Orders and Field Intelligence

GPS attendance verified against a Makani or Onwani address, beat planning, secondary orders and AED expense claims, in one cloud app built for van sales reps, key-account executives and distributors across the Emirates.

GPS Attendance with Selfie AI

Selfie face-match plus GPS lock check-in to the assigned outlet, cross-checked against its Makani point or Onwani address for an exact location match. Late alerts and live location feed the workforce view for van sales and merchandiser teams.

Beat Planning Across Trade Channels

Permanent journey plans cover hypermarkets, supermarkets, mini-markets and baqalas alike. Route planning sequences each shift by geocoded address. Beat frequency tunes by outlet class for food, beverage, dairy and home-care lines.

Secondary Orders, Distributor Stock and Batch/Expiry

SKU-wise order capture at the outlet syncs to the distributor in seconds. The distributor stock view shows primary and secondary movement, with batch and expiry captured so near-expiry lines get liquidated before write-off, useful heading into Ramadan and Dubai Shopping Festival demand.

AED Expense and Leave Automation

Expense claims in AED with receipt upload, fuel, transport and lodging heads, and multi-level approvals. Leave tracks balances, the Saturday-Sunday weekend and UAE public holidays, and feeds month-end payroll records aligned to the Wage Protection System.
