A leading FMCG distributor — Sales Force Automation Platform
Order errors down 78%. Field team productivity increased 3× within 90 days of go-live.
Outcomes
The challenge
Manual order tracking across 120 field agents using WhatsApp. Zero visibility, constant errors, and no sales analytics.
Context
This client runs FMCG distribution across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The sales operation lived in WhatsApp groups — order intake, route planning and field attendance were all coordinated by message. The business knew it had a ceiling at 120 agents but couldn't see why orders were error-prone or where leakage happened.
Our approach
Mobile-first SFA built for low-end Android
We designed the rep app to run on entry-level Android devices with 2 GB RAM and patchy network. Offline-first SQLite, optimistic UI, GPS attendance, beat plans and SKU-image order capture.
Beat plans, GPS tracking and route-deviation alerts
Managers assign beat plans, the app GPS-tracks attendance and deviation, and an MIS dashboard rolls up beat compliance, secondary sales and scheme uptake from rep to regional head.
Real-time manager dashboards
Live dashboards on order volume, errors, attendance and beat compliance — by rep, beat, distributor and region. Decisions stopped waiting for the morning meeting.
The result
NextGen Digital Craft SFA App deployed with beat planning, GPS tracking, digital order management, and real-time manager dashboards.
Order errors down 78%. Field team productivity increased 3× within 90 days of go-live.
In the client's words
“We came in with a rough idea for a field sales tool and they turned it into something our reps could actually use in 14 weeks. The sprint demos meant we caught two wrong assumptions early rather than at the end. It went live to all 120 reps in one go and held up.”
