Android Everywhere:

Android is slowly finding its deployment across Logistics players for Delivery Update of consignments. But Android devices can do much more.

Some of the things that go beyond operations can be, particularly for Sales team:

Instant Quotations
Sales people need to provide quotation for various lanes for different capacity of vehicles. They can us an Android App to enter customer parameters and provide an Instant Quote that can be mailed to them.

Instant Outstanding Statement
Collection in Logistics industry means visiting a customer and convincing him to pay. Many a times, the exact outstanding and bill details are not handy with sales person.

He can use an Android app to simple enter customer name and system will give him full list of pending invoices. He can then simply click a button to send these as e-mail to customer.

One less reason for customer not to pay !!

Expense Entry

Sales teams visits many customers to generate business, collection and customer support purpose. They can use a Conveyance App to log their meetings, update spending on conveyance and other expenses. This way, they can save time to update manual records.

The company gets a real time update of why money was spent and on what customer/ prospect.

Thus, Android is not just for operations in Supply Chain but can work across business functions
