Project Summary

Experion developed an Android-based field reporting application and backend dashboard for a pharmaceutical company to replace a delayed, paper-based reporting process across India. The solution included an offline web option for remote users and ongoing upgrades. Deployment improved usability and increased productivity (about a 23% gain and 2.7x year-over-year productivity for the sales team), though the client noted some execution and time-management issues.

Key Challenges

Replace paper-based, 15–30 day delayed reporting with real-time field data capture
Enable field teams across India to submit and analyze data in real time
Overcome multiple prior vendor failures to deliver a reliable solution

Project Deliverables

Backend dashboard system
Android mobile application
Offline web-based solution for remote users

Project Solution

Experion designed and built an Android mobile application for field sales reporting paired with a backend dashboard. The system includes an offline web-based option for remote users and has received multiple upgrades since launch. The app includes engagement features (a smiley emoticon and notifications) to motivate sales staff. Communication was managed via a project manager and collaboration channels including Skype, email, calls, and an in-house collaboration tool.

Project Outcome

Productivity grew 23% since deploying the application
Sales team productivity increased by 2.7 times in one year
Field representatives reclaimed about three hours per day previously spent on paper reporting
