Industrial Parts Distribution
The industrial parts distribution business is faced with a unique set of challenges when servicing customers with a mobile sales force. Parts vendors have thousands of part numbers to track, quantity break pricing, equivalent customer part numbers, extended decimal places, large orders, multiple bar codes per product and much more.
Additionally customers are demanding more in terms of vendor managed inventory services. For example manufacturing companies may require vendors to replenish parts directly to specific work stations on the shop floor. Running out of a crucial part could potentially halt a manufacturing operation.

From a single compact mobile device running jLAN Mobile sales people can place replenishment orders, scan multiple bar codes, know inventory and quantity break levels and everything else required to service manufacturing operations.
