Salespoint Joins the Mobile Enterprise Application Revolution

With its new geofencing service, Salespoint joins an exclusive group of companies starting a new mobile enterprise application revolution

​​Salespoint has launched a geofencing solution which is built on top of its mobile Customer Relations Management (CRM) application for the salesforce. Geofencing allows sales executives to be more efficient and sell more, by notifying them of nearby sales prospects.

This Salespoint service uses a unique aspect of mobile devices: it connects the location of the user, with existing data about customers and delivers value-added information. In this case a notification that a sales executive might be able to close an extra sale, by visiting a nearby prospect.

"We are just coming out of the so-called 'Mobile First' phase, where developing first for mobile screens what a novel idea. But the apps were essentially the same, just in a smaller package. Now we are really adding something new. Users are amazed when we show what they are able to do now from their phones."

Brian Calvillo, lead mobile product developer

Consumer apps such as Uber, have paved the way by unlocking a new range of services (locating and ordering nearby rides) which simply did not exist until recently. The reason being that users were using desktop computers which are unable to deliver location based services.

The revolutionizing idea has been to move beyond ‘translating’ desktop applications to mobile devices. Essentially offering the same services on a smaller screen. Instead, companies are now rethinking applications from the core and imagining what can be done on mobile platforms.

Salespoint is delighted to be delivering these revolutionary services which writers in Techcrunch have described in this way: “offerings that will come to dominate the emerging $100 billion market for enterprise applications will be those that are “authentically mobile,” a term we use to describe services that would be extremely difficult or impossible to achieve without taking full advantage of the unique properties of the mobile ecosystem.
