Salespeople software

Hi in my company we need a very simple program that is able to do this:

I update the inventory, with pictures, locations, description to their laptops.

The salesmen should be able to:

-open a sales order,
-show the pictures in full screen of the items intended to sale.
-able to add the qty of cases, boxes, etc on the spot while he shows the inventory, without changing the picture preferably.
-able to add the price per item individually as he shows the inventory to its customers. ( Since the item we sell are mostly 99 cents products, the price is constantly being negotiated, therefore being a little impossible to keep a fixed price inventory.)
-send an e-mail with the order to the office, but this order in the office would only contain the item number, description, qty, and most important, location, but, no pictures should be placed in the order.
-Able to be updated everyday through the internet, its database should be able to be added and deleted with constant updates.

I hope it is not too complicated to understand, please forgive my English as it is not my native language.

Daniel

That's not a simple program.

I was on a team to create such and it's not simple software.

What I find is most will just get a catalog together and then put in the full up price so they know where to start.

Well thanks for the fast reply Bob, i figured if it would be so simple why has no one come up with it yet while i was posting, but i thought maybe i just needed to make some more research.

Your reply just confirms my assumptions that it is a very simple interface program, yet hard to find and/or create.

The catalog idea has been around for years, but it was no good, since our items change almost in a daily basis. We dont make sales as regular as most companies, that have just the regular stock year round with minor changes, we just change everyday, locations almost daily and items as well and usually items are a once in a lifetime item, and once they are sold, there is a big chance that we wont see it again, maybe never again, so a catalogue would be outdated almost within a week.

Thank you anyways.

I hear you.

While you (and I) want a simple interface this does not mean the code and software behind it is simple. Also I'm finding folk to associate "simple" software with low cost. You see them write "this should be simple" yet they won't pay for easy to use software.

If it was simple and easy to create it would be out there.

On the spot

agreed!

Well with so many open source code, maybe someone can make it, although I still would doubt it.

But "hope" is the last one to go, .....too bad "hope" does not know programming either.

Any hope of a Droid?

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Aug 2, 2010 4:56AM PDT

Look up AppInventor on the Droid. You might be a programmer after all.

Why not look at webbased services like salesforce.com?

thanks

I did try a demo of volusion.com, but my bosses, and the salesmen, did not like the format of it. I'll see if the web based program you mentioned will offer something different to it.

Thank you very much!
