Mobile Client Case Study

Consignment Story – All-in-one Sales & Inventory System

A cosmetic and kitchenware wholesaler in Hong Kong was looking for a mobile sales & inventory management system to its consignment sales.

Every day, the salespersons have to record each sale transaction manually on a physical booklet, some of them even work overtime for organizing sales records/ counting inventory. Regarding of any poor handwritten words or unclear records, they also need to report verbally to clerk in the head office. The data was not easy to keep track and monitor as the clients own 100+ consignment stores in various locations, covering over Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories. It makes data consolidation became a time-consuming job which requests a lots of manual work and audit process.

Workflow

The solution composes of hardware and software parts.

For the hardware selection, handheld terminals with Window OS and mobile printers have been chosen. Salespersons can use handheld device to record the sales transaction and mobile printer to print receipt instantly to customers while stock-take and replenishment request can be done as well. Unlike consumable products (mobile phones), these professional devices are more durable and of lower risk of being stolen. The system itself can perform stocktake, no need to purchase another set of stocktake scanners.

For the tailor-made system, it enables WiFi/ 3G communication for data uploading to client’s back-end server. The sales system is also equipped with VIP registration and loyalty point redemption, VIP points can be checked instantly without other equipment. Moreover, long distance technical support is enabled via MDM which can be used for batch and remote desktop support, thus technician staff can diagnose problem without going to each location.

Result

The total time spend of the whole progress has dropped into a half than before due to the significant reduction of manual data input and consolidation. A few clicks to upload sales & replenishment records make the process easier and faster with less human error. Now, the salesperson can be more focused on customers’ experience instead of spending time on data recording.
