Transart is a staple in distribution. A mobile SFA layer over Transart transforms field agents from "order-takers" into proactive sales consultants.

The challenge of field agents using paper orders
A classic field agent in FMCG distribution visits 15-25 stores/day, taking orders on paper or via phone, then transmitting them to the office in the evening for manual entry into Transart. Issues: errors, delays, zero visibility, zero cross-selling.
What modern SFA looks like
Mobile Sales Force Automation means:
Catalogue with photos and pricing per client (synced from Transart)
Real-time stock during order taking
Cross-sell suggestions based on history ({customer hasn't ordered product X for 3 weeks})
Electronically signed orders directly on the phone
Automatic synchronization with Transart (order, visit, shelf photos, surveys)
Optimized route mapping with time-tracking per visit
Results for a 50-agent team
+22% average order/visit — through smart cross-sell suggestions
+35% visits/day — eliminating time spent on paperwork
0 order entry errors — orders flow directly into Transart
Time-to-cash reduced from 5 days to 1 day — same-day invoicing
Management visibility
Managers view real-time dashboards: agent location, visit count, average order value, promoted products, and shelf photos from competing stores. Data-driven coaching, not guesswork.
Integration with Transart
The connector utilizes the Transart API for customers, items, prices, stock, and orders. Two-way synchronization every 5 minutes. Agents can work offline (delivery vans, warehouses without signal) and sync when back online. See the SFA glossary and van sales.
Implementation roadmap
Weeks 1-2: Master data mapping + configuration of client-specific pricing rules.
Week 3: Pilot phase with 5 agents + workflow adjustment.
Weeks 4-5: Phased roll-out to the rest of the team.
Week 6: Advanced training + activation of cross-sell modules.
Conclusion
Transart remains the core system. The SFA becomes the mobile extension that transforms agents into growth engines rather than operational costs.
