iSync Solutions streamlines ordering for Hurley and Vans, South Africa

Chappers Sports Direct, distributor of the Vans and Hurley brands in SA, has selected iSyncSolutions as their ERP software provider, to create efficiencies in the sales division of the company. iSync's iPad- B2B sales App, SyncMobile, has streamlined the B2B ordering process thereby creating greater opportunity to boost sales of Hurley and Vans brands in the region. "The perfect tool for our sales force," claims Hurley brand manager, Ockie Fourie.

SyncMobile is an award-winning iPad sales application which allows agents to showcase their product line, and create customer orders online or offline. Orders are uploaded into the ERP at the touch of a button, eliminating the need to recapture and check orders. Fourie explains: "SyncMobile eliminates many steps that generally slow down the standard ordering process. It also ensures a more accurate capturing, on the go."

Order entry on SyncMobile has been streamlined to reduce keystrokes to the bare minimum, so not only do agents have a longer window in which to sell, but they can now focus on what they are really good at. "It has made the whole process much easier and much faster," Vans brand manager, Patrick Duff remarked, "reps can raise orders at least five times faster than before, so they can spend more time selling, and less time stuck in admin".

Not only has there been "a significant improvement in sales figures from agents since moving on to SyncMobile", elaborates Duff, but "there has also been an improvement in sales of "hard sell" categories; the visibility of styles, colourways and product attributes on one screen makes it significantly easier to sell categories that the Sales Agents have struggled with in the past....the Sales Team morale is up".

Adoption of SyncMobile is just the beginning of the Chappers and iSync Solutions relationship. The team looks forward to implementing SYNC's warehouse management solution later this year.
