How It Works

Three Pillars of Retail SFA for United Arab Emirates

Key account managers run a structured buyer calendar with chains such as Carrefour, Lulu and Spinneys. Field sales reps cover baqalas and mini-markets on van and pre-sales rounds. Sell-out data flows back through the cloud DMS into one outlet master shared by both teams.

Modern Trade KAM Calendar

Key account managers run buyer meetings, listing reviews and planogram sign-off at branches such as Carrefour, Lulu Hypermarket, Spinneys and Choithrams on a set weekly cycle. Route planning reworks the day whenever a buyer call in Dubai or Abu Dhabi moves.

Baqala Van + Pre-Sales Rounds

Reps cover wholesalers, baqalas and mini-markets across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the northern emirates. Van sales bill and settle on the spot; pre-sales books orders for next-day delivery. Shelf checks and order capture both run through the same store interface.

AED Sell-Out Dashboards

Analytics roll up by channel, format, city and emirate. 1Voice AI answers plain-English questions such as "top Sharjah wholesalers by sell-out this week." Listing-drop and out-of-stock alerts reach key account managers ahead of the next buyer review.

Complete Platform

GPS Attendance, Format Beats, Order Capture, Collections

A full retail SFA stack on one cloud: geo-fenced attendance, format-aware beats across modern trade and the baqala tier, mobile order capture, card and wallet collections, shelf audits and AED dashboards for KAMs, operations and finance.

Geo-Fenced GPS Attendance

Reps and key account managers check in with selfie AI verification and a geo-fence set at the outlet or hypermarket branch, matched against the store's Makani or Onwani address point. Workforce dashboards split KAM and field sales rep productivity so managers can compare the two teams side by side.

Format-Aware Beat Plans

Carrefour and Lulu branches sit on a weekly KAM cycle, wholesalers hold a fixed slot, and baqala and mini-market clusters run more frequent van rounds. Outlets are pinned by their Makani or Onwani address alongside a GPS point, so route planning can re-optimise the day with confidence in exactly where each stop is.

Mobile Order Capture + DMS Push

Van and pre-sales reps book orders against the listed range with live stock, scheme and credit status on screen. DMS handoff allocates and dispatches from the distributor, and secondary sell-out feeds directly into the brand view rather than sitting only in the order book.

AED Collections + Expense Claims

Reps record cash, card and digital-wallet settlement, including Aani transfers, against each invoice, with credit ageing visible on screen. Field expense claims and leave covering UAE public holidays close the loop, and timesheets export in payroll-ready form.
