Core Features for Van Sales
Reconciliation The system tracks stock loaded vs. stock sold, automatically reconciling the van’s inventory at the end of the day to prevent pilferage and variance.
- ETR Integration: The app connects to portable Bluetooth printers to print KRA-compliant (or relevant tax authority) receipts immediately upon payment.
- Geo-Fencing: Ensures sales reps are physically present at the customer’s location before they can “check-in” or place an order.
- Beyond just selling, the app allows reps to perform shelf audits, capture photos
of competitor products, and track pricing visibility in the market.
Integrations
Similar to other enterprise tools, “Van Sales 360” integrates with major ERPs, including SAP Business One, Tally, and QuickBooks. This ensures that when a van sale is made, the main warehouse inventory and financial ledgers are updated automatically.
Key Benefits
1. Revenue Growth: Reduces “missed sales” by using historical data to suggest orders (upselling) to retailers.
2. Cash Visibility: Tracks payments (Cash, M-Pesa, Cheque) in real-time, reducing cash handling risks.
3. Performance Tracking: Managers get a dashboard showing “Strike Rate” (how many visits resulted in a sale) and exact GPS movement of the sales team.
