I was reading on business ideas, and came across the idea of a Sales Route Delivery business. Thought it was interesting, and looked further into it, and wondered how I would automate it, or rather make it easier for myself.
I have a friend that basically does the same thing for an international foods company. All he does are the sales and someone else does the delivery. I noticed he used a sort of cellular device to transmit to his company or the office the orders of the day.
I looked into that and found the CIS Group. From what I gathered on their site, they seem to be a software company and offer a range of products and solutions in variety fields, including distribution, direct store delivery software, sales force automation (SFA) and merchandising, Bus and Coach Solutions and trucking transportation operations.
There seems to be a lot of money to be made in the route delivery business, I mean I was able to find Snapple beverage routes that net over $3,500 a week. But, the combination of a good sales route and good sales automation software will provide the efficiency needed to accomplish success in such a business.
I was impressed by CIS software solutions offered on their website. I found exactly what it is that is needed and what my friend’s company uses: Route Companion ® a route accounting software. It is offered to provide a complete software solution allowing efficiency and proper management of direct store delivery (DSD) transactions. They also offer a tough handheld computer that you can equip yourself with to manage your company’s daily activities.
What is also impressive is that all the collected data can then be transferred directly to your system.
We have to admit that in today’s competitive business environment, computer systems are necessary in order to obtain real success. The products offered at CIS seem to be designed for efficiency, and this of course results in an increase in productivity and profits.
