Sales Runs Module

The concept of Daily Sales Runs is /wiki/spaces/SI/pages/33055150s is managing the sequence of sales reps call on customers and take orders in store. Deliveries are then made in person or on the phone.  Customers tend to want to be contacted on a regular cycle - often on the same day and around the same time.  Using the Sales Run Module the rep enters the sales call cycle, preferred day and time.  Then each day the sales rep sits in front of a list and arranges it to suit the sequence they want to visit or work through it.  The order of the customers is remembered so gradually there is less re-organising and more simply working through the list.

Daily Delivery Runs can use the same visit cycle (often the next day) as delivery drivers take taking stock to store, collect collecting payment and returns and return returning to base.  However Delivery runs may group customers together differently to Sales runs and have restrictions like vehicle capacity to consider however they are often closely related.

Daily Sales run provides:
