A representative can view a sales revenue graph channel-wise, region-wise, programme-wise, executives-wise and the like.

     

    Instead of searching through file cabinets in order to update a customer, the employees at Sony now have all current data on their mobile phones. Mobicule Technologies CEO Siddharth Agarwal said, “We focus our research and developments in the mobile application space to enable companies enhance their efficiency, employee engagement and customer satisfaction. Sony Entertainment has been known for its innovation and this application provides a competitive mobile edge to their business, enabling access to real time information and track the performance at each level of the sales hierarchy.”
