The Answer to Your Questions:

How would you like to know where your sales stand at the end of the day even though you have a national distribution network? How often do you want to find out which areas are not performing to the mark, which areas are running out of supplies and do it while reducing costs?

Endorsed by companies like Pakistan Tobacco Company (subsidiary of British American Tobacco), Ali Gohar & Company and Tapal Tea Pvt Ltd, Octopus’s premier product SLASH (Sales Automation Solution for Handhelds) is amongst the most cost effective solutions to date to handle your distribution management and sales & marketing efforts.

The Power of Automation:

SLASH uses the power of automation that a Palm™ Pilot can provide and combines it with the power of desktops to report every activity undertaken across your distribution channel.

SLASH offers a mix of channel metrics that include the management of information regarding sales staff, products categorization, sales areas/routes, customers and categories, sales histories, daily sales orders, inventory, purchase, returns, expenses as well as income statements.

In effect, SLASH offers the perfect view of the “Secondary Sales” market.

The Perfect View - SLASH In Practice:

Using our powerful SLASH Bridge™ data acquisition component running on a hand held device such as the Palm™, distribution sales staff can capture data on the go. Channel management is facilitated by:

Menu driven and easy point and click navigation
Ability to record orders according to sales area and customer
Handling redemptions automatically
Generating End of Day summaries while still in the market

At the day end, the sales man can connect the hand held device to the SLASH Control Deck™ desktop component and data can be synced to the desktop via a “One Button” push functionality.

SLASH Control Deck™ is a Windows based desktop component with powerful reporting capability and provides a detailed window on the distribution operations of channel partners including:

area/product wise sales
purchase orders
distributor sales history
customer sales history
area sales history
forecasting and targets
sales force management and productivity (routes assignment, commission, performance, salaries etc.)
