Editors' Choice
Specifications
This cosmetics manufacturer needs to provide software to help its sales force of 10 keep track of prospects, maintain relationships with retailers, and track the progress of special promotions.
Approximate budget: Open
Requires: One sales force automation package, available either as packaged software or by subscription.
Concerns: Sales staff are highly mobile, so software that can either be easily synchronised or accessed via a Web browser is ideal. The company is also considering supplying staff with GPRS-connected handhelds, so the ability to view data on a handheld is a consideration.
Best Solution: Since providing native graphing of sales and forecasts is not a major requirement, Maximizer or Maximizer Enterprise with its extended feature set would be the packages of choice.
If you want a package that is dead easy to navigate and learn, and don´t need native PDA synchronisation, then Legrand is definitely worth a look.
