For 20+ years, CMG Creative has designed and printed catalogs for companies in a variety of industries. Troy Apps has utilized CMG’s knowledge and experience to design our “Mobile Sales Tool” iPad software, which required a year of development and testing.
The Mobile Sales Tool is a game changer — it revolutionizes the way catalogs are presented to sales personnel, dealers and distributors, and can also be a public-facing app with a dealer finder. Innovative software features give your sales team a significant advantage over print catalogs and web apps, while also enhancing the decision-making process on the purchasing side.
This marks the beginning of a new era in sales — ensuring that your catalog will never be looked at the same way again.
Troy Apps creates native iPad Mobile Sales Tool applications designed for Business2Business. Our catalog applications take full advantage of Apple's iOS technologies, ensuring that your catalog will run fast and look as beautiful as your printed version. You can see and feel the difference.
Most other catalog applications, such as Google Catalogs, offer simple web-based versions of your catalog. They often run slowly or not at all, depending on your location and internet connection speed. They use limited web technologies that can't use the iPad as Apple intended.
Let Troy Apps publish your product catalog — using all the power of the iPad. Your sales team will sell more efficiently than ever before. Your dealers and distributors will be up-to-date at all times. And your end-users will appreciate how easy it will be to shop and learn all about your products.
A Troy Apps Mobile Sales Tool is a true native iPad app. All your catalog content, images and videos are embedded in the app itself. This is commonly referred to as a ‘native’ app. It does not depend on any outside resources to view your catalog. Your products and descriptions are available anytime, anywhere.
Web Apps are quite different. Content is supplied via a web server and requires an internet connection.
There are several issues with web apps that serve to emphasize the advantages offered by a Troy Apps Mobile Sales Tool. Web apps are at the mercy of ‘internet connectivity’ — your sales representative can be in the middle of a presentation and suddenly lose connection, or not make connection at all. When your sales representative utilizes a Troy Apps Mobile Sales Tool it's always ‘on, ready and fast’, keeping the impressions coming and the momentum intact.
Web technologies have evolved to accommodate several computer platforms, multiple browsers and countless programming languages. In order for all of these variables to work properly, certain techniques or hacks are used by the developers. And there is still no guarantee it will always work correctly or look right. As a result, the sales rep and prospect/client often have to wait while content or images download. The momentum is shot and the presentation is mediocre at best. In fact, when it comes to moving from product to product, print catalogs are often more expedient than web apps.
A Troy Apps Mobile Sales Tool is developed to run on one operating system (Apple iOS) and one device (the iPad). Every one of its preview functions operates at maximum speed and clarity.
In short, with superior connectivity and functionality, a Troy Apps Mobile Sales Tool is in a league of its own.
Your sales team, dealers and distributors can place their orders directly to your corporate office. Customers can verify and approve each order. Once the order is placed, the purchase order can be sent to wherever is necessary.
Unlike a printed catalog, once your app is released, we can update it at anytime. Changes are made and pushed out to your sales team’s iPads. A simple update is performed and all changes are made. No more stickers or inserts.
Full search capabilities are available in your catalog. Virtually anything can be searched — product names, model numbers, specifications, etc. — making it much faster and easier for the salesperson or customer to find exactly what they need.
Conveniently email product information to any email account. Select the product and tap the email icon. Type in the email address(es) and send. It's that easy. A high quality PDF will be emailed for others to review or approve.
Make notes for each customer meeting. Questions to answer, remarks made by the customer, etc. Then email or text them to the appropriate departments for the answers. Or simply keep them yourself for later review.
Videos can be used to tell your products’ story — something a printed catalog could never do. Videos can be embedded on a page and played right alongside other product information. And with a single finger tap, the video can play full screen.
Use standard iPad gestures like pinch-to-zoom on any page or image. We ensure your catalog is presented in the highest quality available so your products can be viewed in fine detail. Let your customer really see the quality of your product line.
Move about your catalog quickly and effortlessly — a very important feature that other catalog applications seem to forget. We know how important it is to ensure a great user experience when viewing your catalog.
Give your customers an easy way to find your dealers. All they need to do is type in their Zip Code and mile radius to find all your dealers close by. All with Google enable maps for easy-to-follow directions.
Bookmark any page in the catalog for future reference. Once a page is bookmarked, tap on the Bookmark icon from any page and see a list of all your bookmarked pages. Tap the page in the list and you're instantly there.
