| How does the online
ordering and rep management system work? |
| |
|
| 1. |
Won’t it be nice if clients and sales representatives
are able to order your products online? They either
login in with username and password so that you
know who placed the order or the system is open
for the public. You then receive the order in email
format at selected email addresses. Your client
instantly receives an order confirmation via email
(complete with your logo on). There is also an online
reporting system where you can view order history. |
| 2. |
The system also works on cell phones; that is
ideal for sales representatives on the road. It
saves a ton of money because orders are simply transmitted
via a data connection as opposed to an expensive
cellular phone call. |
| 3. |
Thought it will be too expensive or too cumbersome?
Not so, we kept the system very user friendly and
cheap (see cost structure below), yet it can be
used anywhere in the world! |
| 4. |
You can manage the users, products, product groups,
stores, clients, and prices with a user-friendly
online management portal. Updates are instant. |
| 5. |
There is no need to download any software; the
software is hosted on a server. All changes take
effect immediately across the board. You can access
the management system from anywhere. No data is
kept on the phone itself so there is no risk of
letting data get into unauthorized hands. |
| 6. |
There are numerous benefits for example : |
| |
- No more lost fax orders |
| |
- Orders can be placed without human
intervention 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
| |
- Spend less time and money on phone
calls (on average a sales rep saves R1000
per month on his or her mobile phone bill) |
| |
- Ease of use will bring you more
business |
| |
- Available on any cellular phone
or computer |
| |
- Online reports that show orders,
stock levels, returns and competitors' prices. |
| |
- Managers can view real-time online
reports of their sales reps' or merchandisers'
activities and transactions |

| Costs
structure |
| |
|
| 1. |
We charge only R50 (+VAT) per seat (i.e. user)
per month for the password protected system. Overseas
customers pay only $10 per month per seat. |
| 2. |
The system that is open to the public costs R300
(+VAT) per month. (Overseas customers pay $50 per
month) |
| 3. |
There are no set-up fees if you do
the set-up yourself. The set-up is fairly simple
and is done in a web portal. If you require assistance
your agent or Sentido may help you for a small fee
(should not be more than R300 / $50) |
| 4. |
You may try out the system free of charge for
a month |

The system also has a very powerful
reporting facility to report for example the following:
Activities by rep and by store – for example
to see the following :
This gives an excellent bird’s eye view of a
sales rep’s and merchandiser's daily activities,
their movements as well up to date instore stock levels,
competitors prices and service levels at each store.
The applications can be integrated with your existing
systems with the use of our CleverBase®
program or by supplying and retrieving electronic files
via various methods.
