System uses SMS as a primary way of communication from field force. Sales Force has high adaptability for SMS as a mode of
communication as it is the easiest and fastest way of communication. This results in real time reporting by MR and also tremendous reduction on cost of communication.
As data is available online, immediate action from senior sales team or head office, resulting right impact, is also possible.
The ubiquitous feature of Mobile Phone and Network frees the MR / PSR from the time and space constraints that may impede their access to the information systems capabilities.
This ensures flow of date to and fro between the uses and the system.
Work mobility is a key dimension that characterises the work of sales representatives. Such mobile representatives spend most of their working time out in the field, interacting with doctors, chemists and stockist etc and attempting to bring new orders to their companies.
So SMS communication supports their online historical information requirement from the system.

One more advantage of the system is helping representatives in the most important aspects of their job: face-to-face doctor meetings. Just before visit to the doctor, availability of previous visit information viz. his prescription preferences, brands to be promoted, issues raised by him, and activities done in last meeting. This along with personal information of the doctor helps the representative to build better relationship and proactively address issues and objections. This facilitates the representative to make the most of the few minutes he gets in front of the doctor and achieve his goals.

The data which is received from sales force using the online system is current, accurate and ensures more transparency between field force and the head office in terms of data. This data can be analysed and acted upon in timely manner. This can also lead to improvement in the efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of the field force with respect to response time to market needs and can bring improvement in CRM activities.

Categorisation of doctors is an important activity from the perspective of distribution of samples, promotional items related to the products, medical / scientific literature etc. It helps to decide the frequency of visits, no. of samples to be distributed to each of the category. The categorisation helps to run focused campaign effectively.
