Project Summary
SPEC India developed a tablet-based enterprise mobile sales force automation (SFA) system for a business supplies company. The engagement delivered Android app designs, wireframes and an implemented tablet app, but the system was not fully rolled out across all business units due to functional and process issues. The client praised SPEC India's communication and collaborative approach despite incomplete implementation.
Key Challenges
- Empower field force with anywhere, anytime access to the system.
- Eliminate redundant activities and improve productivity.
- Fulfill orders in near real time to boost win rate and revenue.
- Ensure level-wise sales focus and timely achievement of targets across the field force.
- Enhance customer satisfaction and expand the client base.
Project Deliverables
- Tablet-based Android application
- Mock-ups and wireframes
- Division-specific operation forms
Project Solution
SPEC India ran requirements workshops with multiple business units, produced mock-ups and iterative designs, and developed Android tablet apps with wireframes and division-specific operation forms. The vendor assigned a project manager as the main contact and a team including front-end and back-end developers and a QA resource. They provided regular updates and weekly onsite meetings during the engagement.
Project Outcome
- The system was implemented only for the Battery division and not across all required business units.
- The project exhibited functional and process loopholes (reporting delays, missing sales targets, lack of monitoring, limited use by BPOs, occasional signal drops).
- Client reported positive collaboration, good communication from the project manager, and satisfactory timelines despite incomplete rollout.
