General Questions

What is App4Sales?

Answer: App4Sales is a B2B sales platform with two main products. The B2B Sales App is a mobile app for your sales reps & agents to place orders for, or with, B2B customers and show digital product catalogs anywhere. The B2B Webshop is an online portal for your customers to log in and order directly. Both connect to your ERP system, ensuring all product, customer, and stock data is synchronized between all systems. 

Can I use just the Sales App or just the B2B Webshop?

Answer: Yes, you can choose what works best for your business. Use only the Sales App if you rely on sales reps, only the B2B Webshop for a self-service portal, or use both together for a complete sales solution that supports your team and your customers.

How it works

What is the process for a sales rep using the Sales App?

Answer: The process is designed to be fast and simple, in just three steps:

  1. Choose a Customer: The rep selects a customer from their list or finds one nearby on the interactive map.
  2. Add Items to Order: They add products by browsing digital lookbooks, using filters, or instantly scanning barcodes at a trade fair or during a customer visit.
  3. Confirm and Send: The rep can adjust discounts, add notes, capture a digital signature, and send the completed order directly to your ERP system with a single tap.

 

What is the process for a customer using the B2B Webshop?

Answer: Your B2B customers also follow a simple three-step process:

  1. B2B Customer Logs In: The customer clicks a login button on your own website to enter their secure B2B portal.
  2. Add Items to Order: They browse your catalog using filters, look through collections in lookbooks, or reorder from their order history.
  3. Review and Submit Order: The customer checks their shopping cart, adds any notes or references, and places the order, which is then sent straight to your ERP system.
