In any company, revenue totally depends upon the sales and movement of products to end users. In order to reach sales goals, a productive field sales team and a well-managed sales process are utmost important.
Usually, there are 3 stages of sales - primary, secondary and tertiary.
Primary sales is the sales from manufacturer to distributor. This is the first and primary sales point for any company. Products move from manufacturer store points to distributors’ warehouses. In secondary sales, products move from distributor to retailer, further it also includes direct end user sales from warehouses. In this transaction, the distributor has his margin and bills the retailer at retail price. Finally, tertiary sales includes sales from retailers to end users.
Sales automation software is used by companies to automate and monitor primary and secondary sales activities which includes interaction between field sales reps and different sales points. This is the phase where companies need to have high productivity in order to enhance their profitability. If primary and secondary sales are not managed properly, products can’t reach the end users, which clearly leads to low sales levels. So, managing these stages are very significant in terms of revenue generation.
Delta Sales App is a field sales automation software that tracks, manages, monitors and automates sales processes of companies. It is an app for sales managers to overlook their field sales activities. The app has capabilities of automating and monitoring both primary and secondary sales very efficiently, and increasing the interaction among manufacturers, distributors, retailers and ultimately the end users.
For Primary Sales: Manufacturers have different top level distributors who order products in bulk from them. Using Delta Sales App, distributors can manage their activities which include placing orders directly to manufacturers, maintaining record of orders placed, transactions done, managing available stocks and many more. If any distributor is not comfortable using their panel, there is also an option where the assigned field salesman can visit them and take their order by punching in their order details in the app. This is the best way by which the management, sales managers and distributors can stay connected and updated about primary orders and other daily activities.
For Secondary Sales: Using Delta Sales App, sales executives and sales reps visit retailers which are under various distributors and place orders for them through their mobile application. Orders placed are shown in the distributors panel and company dashboard where both can monitor the orders placed by retailers. Also, Delta Retailer App can be further used by the retailers where they can place orders to distributors directly and view their payment history.
