Using a PDA to record van sales saves a lot of paperwork and enables you to keep perpetual inventory and replenish the van automatically on return to base. The system includes the automatic calculation of VAT and the production of sales invoices at the point of sale, and then on return to base the automatic picking lists are produced to replenish the van with the stock that has been sold all of which make this an invaluable product for any company that sells products on the move.
Exhibition Sales
At exhibitions, there may be several salesmen all of whom want access to the same PC to record a sale. The use of portable terminals and barcodes make this job much simpler as the sales can be recorded on the PDA and then transferred to the PC later on when it becomes free. In the meantime, if an invoice needs to be produced or a receipt printed the PDA will connect to a portable Bluetooth printer to print without having to access the PC.
Mobile stall sales
Where There Is No Access to power, a PDA can be used to record sales and do all the VAT calculations for subsequent uploaded to the PC back at base
Conference Sales
At some conferences the objective is to sell a product or course to the delegates. It is often the case that when the conference finishes and delegates are invited to place orders a logjam occurs because the available staff cannot get access to the PC and a queue forms. The use of a PDA to solve this problem enables several salesmen at the conference to all take orders from prospective clients simultaneously
