A Simplified Solution for All Salesmen!
Field Force Automation
The unique combination of Symbol's SPT 1800 rugged, pocketable computer and DataWeld's Palm Order Pad gives your field force the tools they need to increase productivity and customer service. From the back of the delivery truck, to the customers' dock, to the office of the purchasing manager, or even on the golf course, the Palm Order Pad and the SPT 1800 give your drivers and outside salespeople the capabilities they need to take orders, print receipts, and answer inventory questions whenever and wherever the need arises.
Computing Power Where It Is Needed
Many distributors send their trucks into the field to deliver pre-sold products and to sell additional items that are warehoused on the truck. The driver delivers the merchandise to the customer and then manually writes down what was delivered to the customer. At the same time, the sales team is in the customer's office taking new orders for later delivery. In both of these situations, the orders are written down and then come back to the office where someone manually enters them into your computer system. All of these orders being processed at one time create a data entry bottleneck that slows down order processing and creates an opportunity for data entry errors. By processing orders electronically, the Palm Order Pad eliminates the data entry bottle neck and virtually eliminates errors due to incorrectly written orders.
Instead of guessing at the stock number and manually writing it down on a piece of paper, the Palm Order Pad lets the driver or salesperson search your inventory for the correct inventory item. The operator can search by full or partial stock number or description. When the correct item is located, a single keystroke adds it to the order. Orders are processed faster and more accurately, giving your drivers and salespeople more time to sell and deliver products.
I Want The Same Product You Sold Me Last Time
In many cases your customer has purchased the item before that they want to order from you. They just do not know the part number. With the Palm Order Pad you simply select History of Purchases to see everything the customer has been buying from you. You can even see how many they have purchased. When you find the item the customer wants you select Add To Order, it's as simple as that!
Increase Your Sales
If your salespeople or drivers are the ones that have to enter their manual orders into your system at the end of the day, you are losing valuable selling and delivery time. With the Palm Order Pad, you gain both selling time and delivery time. When the operator returns to the office, all orders are downloaded from the handheld computer through a cradle to a PC. They are then sent directly to your host accounting system where they flow into your computer system electronically. Manually entering orders into your computer system at the end of the day is now a thing of the past. The Palm Order Pad makes this process faster, more accurate, and best of all, gives your sales people more time to sell!
The Powerful and Rugged Symbol SPT 1800

Address books, Calendars, To-Do Lists and even Expense Report preparation are just a few types of products available for the Palm Based SPT 1800.
