Dear AccountMate Clients,

Where do your salespeople do their best work?  If the answer isn’t “at their desk”, then we need to support them where they’re most efficient — whether that’s on your showroom floor, at a tradeshow, or on the road at customer site – and there’s no better option than AMmobile.

Newly enhanced for the “2017” release, AMmobile provides a real-time secure interface to your AccountMate system for looking up information and effecting transactions – in two different “modes” for the two different types of mobile selling.

The Walk-Up Sales version is for sales teams that complete same-day transactions — such as selling from a truck or at a trade show, or selling to a customer who’s selecting products while walking a showroom floor.  AMmobile Walk-Up Sales allows real-time inventory and pricing lookup, bar code scanning to add items to an order, credit card swiping for instant payment, and product shipment to complete transactions on the spot.

The Sales Tracker version is for sales teams that manage longer sales cycles — including lead development, travelling to prospects’ locations, creating quotes, getting order approvals, tracking sales follow-up activities and coordinating tasks with colleagues.  AMmobile Sales Tracker makes it possible to develop customer relationships and cover the sales process beginning-to-end efficiently, digitally, while on the road.

Few things can improve your business and financial performance quicker than increasing sales — so give us a call to see all the product features and discuss how we can make your sales force more productive at selling!

Regards,
