What is a Mobile ERP system? 

A blog post from Priority Software, shares that “Mobile ERP apps deliver full system functionality from any mobile device or tablet with real-time access and full visibility of your business operations, anywhere, any time – with an always-on mobile app, designed to meet the needs of today’s always-moving workforce.” 

Benefits of a Mobile ERP system for your sales team 

1. Real-time access anytime, anywhere 

At any point in the sales process, access to your ERP system anytime and anywhere can be a huge help.  

For example, if your salespeople are in the early stages of securing a new client, they can easily answer questions regarding prices and packages during on-site meetings by just checking the latest data on their phone.     

Existing customers will also benefit from these apps because salespeople can create and process new orders on the go.  

2. Automatic sync 

Because the mobile app is connected to your ERP system, data is automatically updated once you’re online. When sales are closed and orders are made from different locations, there’s no need for double data entry or imports and exports of records.  

3. Improved customer service 

Mobile apps for ERP systems help employees to provide better customer service in many ways. First, it improves communication with features that allow you to call or email more conveniently from the mobile app.  

Secondly, it speeds up sales orders because it allows your employees to process orders from anywhere. Intuitive mobile interfaces can also be simpler to navigate, making it a much quicker process.  

4. Accurate reporting  

There are a lot of reports involved when it comes to sales and accuracy is of the highest importance. With data automatically synced from smartphones to your ERP system, employees won’t have to go through the extra effort of importing, exporting, and consolidating data, thus reducing the risk of double data entry and errors.
