Mobile sales oils Wynn’s supply chain
Wynn’s has overhauled its company processes right from its sales team through to the warehouse and the back office, thanks to a mobile sales solution from Vodafone and SalesLink...

The challenge
Wynn's New Zealand was seeking an automated solution to replace a cumbersome paper-based ordering system for a 15-strong nationwide sales team.
The solution
Vodafone and application partner, SalesLink Mobile, put together a mobile sales solution combining Palm Treo Smartphones and SalesLink Mobile software. Wynn's sales reps can now manage stock in real-time and send sales data back to head office immediately. Customer orders are processed on the client's premises using infra-red printers - so orders can be printed, checked and receipted by the customer on the spot.
The payoff
- Warehouse stock levels halved from six months to three months.
- Capital tied up in stock was slashed by 23%.
- Paperwork and data entry fell by 30 hours a week - data entry staff could be reallocated to other duties.
- Managers have much better access to real-time information.
- Wynn's made a return on their investment within a year.
