CIS-Companion Route overview

What is CIS-Companion Route?

The best way to complete your daily mobile sales cycle is by using

Companion Route, an automation solution that optimizes the activities

of distributors, deliverymen and vendors on the road.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY

Companion Route is a software solution that allows for efficient management of

direct store delivery (DSD) activities. This route accounting application automates

the activities of mobile sales/delivery personnel: from truck loading to end-of-day

balancing and reporting. Visits and itinerary tracking via GPS, visit sequences,

inventory, order and returns processing, collection, surveys and much more can

all be managed with Companion®Route.

EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR MOBILE SALES FORCE

Information flows in a bidirectional environment making data available to the

office and the mobile units. The Companion® Route solution makes use of many

parameters that apply according to the user signing in and the route selected;

these determine whether or not the user is allowed to grant rebates or credits,

or to change the visit sequence, etc. In addition, the functions and all the terms

in Companion® Route can be adjusted to respect a vocabulary you are familiar

with. At point of sale, they will only see (if desired) client-specific information

(authorized products, promotions, price lists, surveys, etc.). All calculations are

made automatically with accurate data, saving time and preventing errors.

ANALYZE, MEASURE AND OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS

Combined with Companion Route, Companion Office offers a higher level of

visibility over DSD operations. You can effectively manage your distribution routes and

mobile sales/delivery personnel, measuring performance, evaluating opportunities

, and executing actions that will maximize efficiency and profitability. The GPS

Tracking Module will give you higher levels of control, allowing you to evaluate

routes taken, time spent, sequence of visits, idle time and more. Informed decision-making, along with better planning and control, will have a positive impact on

your bottom line. This solution has a built-in report generator, so you can create

reports on everything that is relevant to you. Master files such as products, prices,

territories and surveys can all be managed with Companion®Office.
