Already computerized a decade ago, the representatives of Laiterie Chalifoux, from Sorel, Québec, will now see themselves equipped with the latest generation of integrated tools designed for mobile sales forces. The company just officialized with its supplier, CIS Group, the project to migrate to the most recent solution produced by CIS, Companion® Rep 2.

Making full use of the Windows 10 interface, the new application is entirely organized around the Home screen, which displays direct links to everything the representatives require. A section allows them to refer instantly to all the types of information they wish to highlight to better serve and advise their customer. Another section shows a view of the steps of their visit cycle, accompanying them in the phases of the equally crucial collection of information – including, of course, first and foremost, order taking.

“An interface will be put in place between the Office Companion® module – linked to Rep 2 – and Chalifoux’s data cube that stores sales data. This will allow the representative to conduct in-store business reviews based on data originating from the cube in real-time”, emphasizes Nicolas Racine, Executive Account Manager at CIS Group.

Companion® Rep 2 will be installed on Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablets, and the representatives will also be using Brother PocketJet 7 mobile printers and Honeywell Voyager 1602g portable scanners.
