Field Sales App That Connects Your Team to the Office

Your salesman is standing in a shop. The owner wants to know if the new pack is in stock, what this month's scheme is, and why last week's payment still shows as due. If the answers are in a diary or a WhatsApp chat, the sale gets smaller or slips to next week.

JMJ Field Force Connect is a mobile app that puts your sales office in your team's pocket. Orders, live stock, customer pricing, outstanding and payments come straight from your JMJ ERP. When the salesman taps submit, the office has the order at the same moment.

What is JMJ Field Force Connect?

Field sales app screen on a tablet with a phone order screen and a portable printer

JMJ Field Force Connect is a real-time extension of the JMJ ERP for field sales teams: salespeople take orders and collect payments on it, and managers see visits, sales and collections as they happen.

It is not a stand-alone order-taking app. When a salesperson takes an order, the warehouse gets the picklist; when they collect a payment, accounts sees it. That removes duplicate data entry between the field and the office.

Questions about the app

Questions about field sales app: notepad, phone and tea on a desk

What is a field force app?

A field force app is a mobile app that lets salespeople book orders, check stock and prices, and collect payments while visiting customers, while managers track visits and performance. JMJ Field Force Connect sends everything straight to the JMJ ERP in real time.

Does Field Force Connect work without internet?

Yes. Orders can be taken in offline mode, in a basement shop or on a rural route with no signal, and the app syncs automatically as soon as it reconnects.

Can managers see where the team has been?

Yes. GPS visit tracking shows the team's location on a map and reports which customers were visited, when and for how long. Managers can also create daily beat plans.

How do salespeople collect payments?

The app shows the customer's exact outstanding balance. Payments by cash, cheque or UPI are recorded on the spot, and a digital receipt can be generated.

Which JMJ systems does it connect to?

Field Force Connect is the mobile front end for JMJ ERP. It works with FMCG Distribution ERP and Pharma ERP, where medical reps see batch-wise stock.

Can managers set sales targets?

Yes. Monthly sales and collection targets can be set and tracked for every rep, and performance dashboards show sales, collections and visits in real time.
