Handheld Sales Order Entry

With POW® , salespeople can easily access all the information they need to select products, evaluate pricing options, provide up-sell and cross-sell suggestions, emphasize promotions, review inventory availability and check customer accounts receivable status from a durable handheld mobile computer.

A sales rep can also look at specific customer information like order history, ship-to, bill-to and delivery, information, credit status, payment terms, price history, and product profitability.  Your entire price book is available at any time, even offline, with accurate prices for each individual customer. 

Scan, point and click with the stylus, write, type, or use the customer's history to generate an order.  POW empowers your sales team to spend less time ordering and more time selling.  This will enable them to increase line item penetration in every account.

POW®: Your total solution!

The POW® solution manages all the processes required to generate and transmit orders to your host computer for processing.  In addition, POW keeps the mobile computer updated with the latest business information being generated by your host computer.  The two main components of Ai2's software deliverable are:

• POW client application software running on the mobile computer
• Ai2 Communication Server (ACS) Software

Your sales reps can create and transmit orders from the field to the ACS system.  These orders can then be sent to your host computer immediately or held in the ACS and processed later, at your convenience.  Salespeople receive updated business information throughout the day including order confirmations, reports and file updates.  Communication between the POW client and ACS system can be accomplished in a variety of methods including telephone dial up through a 56 KBS modem connection, local area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN) and wide area network (WAN) from cellular communication carriers like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.  Your IT staff can easily manage communications through the Ai2 Communication Server (ACS) software that operates on a PC-based communication server.
