\"\"<\/a>Increasing fuel costs, increased competitive pressure and smaller profit margins are forcing companies that deliver goods directly to customers to find innovative ways to gain efficiencies and accuracy.\u00a0 Direct Store Delivery systems have increased efficiencies for direct delivery models everywhere by enabling a paperless system to assist with load processing and inventory tracking.\u00a0 From retail sales reps, warehouse and management to pack-and-peddle operations, DSD applications have helped to reduce errors, decrease days\u2019 sales outstanding and increase customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Most companies in the industry have deployed a standalone DSD solution that has no way to talk to any other apps in the field, so companies today are looking for more.\u00a0 A complete DSD Solution Suite<\/strong> allows for more than simply tracking your deliveries; it combines the power of various apps to manage the complexities of various and sometimes unexpected processes.\u00a0\u00a0 MobileFrame\u2019s DSD Solution includes apps for Merchandising, Pre-Sales, Asset Tracking, Accident Reports and Field Service. The best news is that they are all tightly integrated together. Combining these processes into one suite of applications gives you the power to automate workflow from one app to another through the use of action based, real-time alerts.
\n
\nLet\u2019s explore an example of how alerts can streamline your entire company:<\/p>\n

What if your driver pulls up to a store with a cooler delivery, but it is broken? \u00a0Of course the delivery would be refused until after the cooler is fixed. \u00a0With MobileFrame\u2019s software, a real-time alert can be sent to dispatch, while at the same time a work order is automatically created and sent to the field services department.\u00a0 The repair tech is then dispatched to repair the cooler, and upon completion of the repair the original delivery is re-scheduled for the driver.\u00a0 Once the delivery is complete and the digital signature is captured, the invoice is generated and the back office is updated.<\/p>\n

All of these events were triggered simply by the unexpected situation of the broken cooler and was managed via embedded logic of each action-based event.\u00a0 Real-time alerts can keep your organization running like a well oiled machine, eliminating communication errors and decreasing turnaround time for each process. In the end you\u2019ll not only increase the efficiencies of your team, but you\u2019ll also end up with more satisfied customers.<\/p>\n
