Mobile app for ZFP Academy sales representatives

One of the most pleasant collaborations for us is the company ZFP Akademie, a.s., for which we have developed mobile applications and a web administration interface. Everything was done in a very friendly spirit, we even agreed that the client himself would write us a reference for the created project. The full text of it is shared below.

ForeverUp

ForeverUp is a mobile application for sales representatives of ZFP Akademie, a.s. It is released for devices running on Android and iOS operating systems. The first version was a creation of the regional office led by Mr. Michal Vítámvás and worked purely for the needs of its own structure. However, as time went on, the app ceased to meet today's requirements and so the company management agreed with Mr. Vítámvás to create a completely new app, only under the same name. Now the application is under the umbrella of the company's headquarters and freely available to all regional offices and their sales representatives. The development and implementation is handled by Dactyl Group, s.r.o., a company based in Brno.

The application is secured against unauthorized logins using the SSO login, which sales representatives use across all company applications and systems. Content is therefore inaccessible to the general public.

The purpose of the app is to give sales reps easy access to important information whether they are in the field with clients, in the office, on the road or from their home. By linking to individual offices and headquarters, we are now able to relay important information from institutions, management and our own offices in a flash. We will be able to significantly reduce the number of email messages sent out, which often get lost in filters and junk mail. This will help us organize the large amount of information, contests, incentives and other communications. Each news item will appear on the smart device display in the form of a notification.

Text messages

We divide messages into 3 categories. News, Articles and Motivation. 

News is to highlight upcoming deadlines, quick messages from offices to representatives, reminders, changes in the organization, etc.

Articles are longer communications than News and can elaborate more on the issue at hand. In most cases, these will be replacements for email blasts. There may also be interviews with interesting personalities and articles from our company magazine, Our ZFP.

The last category is Motivation. As the name suggests, these are competitions and motivational events for sales representatives. These events are often co-organized with partners, in other cases by the company itself.

Signpost

Another role that the application plays is a signpost of the most important services for sales representatives. This gives them quick access to the company extranet, commission deadlines, seminar sign-ups, video tutorials, rep benefits and other important company systems.

Forms

Given the current trend to bring forms, contracts and other requirements online, this is also where the app helps sales reps make the transition. We've created the most important and extensive forms in electronic form and simplified data handling by having the app advise which data is important and necessary for proper submission and subsequent processing. This way, it cannot happen that the forms arrive blank or incomplete. This will speed up the work both in the field and with the completion of contracts.

Office

Last but not least, the representative can find everything important about his regional office in the application. Among these details, he will find the location, the opening hours of the office, along with the relevant contacts (phone, email, website). For faster work, all the data is active, so you can quickly send a message by email, navigate to the office address or dial the phone number of the assistant.

Administration/backend

The application is administered via a web interface. You can log in from any web browser. Each regional office has its own account. Each office has one administrator account. Here it is possible to edit individual office information and add content that is only visible to representatives of that office. In this way, events and incentives can be made visible only for that office. The highest link in this hierarchy is the company headquarters, or the marketing team. Information published by this department is visible to all other users of the app. Other headquarters departments that need to publish information have this option, from their own account for that department. The marketing team, together with the administrators, are then the only ones who can edit all content published in the application. This can be done, for example, for proofreading reasons, at the request of the department or office.
