The challenge was to monitor the sales/service force and seamlessly integrate them into a system that relieves them of the entire reimbursement process in the system.

 

Our Strategy:

The organisation was evaluating using Sharepoint as its enterprise-wide tool. We proposed to built to leverage its benefits for their workflow capabilities and quick to market approach. The field force is on the road most of the times, also required to have a mobile application that effortlessly integrates into SharePoint.

 

Our Solution:

An iOS-based mobile app that seamlessly syncs the services schedules from Sharepoint was created. The schedules enabled the users to view only “Todays” schedules and click on it to start the trips. The trips automatically synced up with Sharepoint with an Uber-like application enabling the salesperson to focus on the trip and calculate the rest of it by itself – including applying organization policies on reimbursement, handling complicated trips across days/cities and other relevant workflows to approve them.

 

Business Outcome:

  • Leveraged existing sharepoint platform. The success of which standardized it for further app development.
