A Wireless Platform for the Extended
Enterprise
The opportunities
for improvement are obvious...
| The
sales organization has limited access to availability and pricing information
when it really counts — in front of the customer. Sometimes it can take
days just to answer the most basic of questions. In the time it takes to
respond, a competitor may have closed the sale.
The service team arrives
with the wrong parts, at the wrong address, a day later than they were expected.
They head back to dispatch without realizing that another customer, right
down the street, would really appreciate a few minutes of their time.
According to the forecast, business looks good. The weekly orders, however,
tell a different story. Purchases are off by 20%. The executives will
see an adjustment in the forecast eventually, but by then it might be
too late to have an impact.
.. but where do you begin?

|
| For today’s mobile workers, quick, easy access
to reliable information sources is essential. Even a minor improvement in
accuracy or timing can make the difference between winning a customer’s business,
and losing it to a more agile competitor. |
