挑战
Angostura Limited, a leading Caribbean rum producer, was facing challenges with its manual, paper-based sales process. The process was creating delays in getting orders and related information into SAP. The salesperson had to physically print the customer’s current data before a customer visit and orders and payment receipts were handwritten and manually entered later into SAP. This required the manual intervention from at least four separate departments multiple times along the process. While in the field, the salesperson could not directly answer customer questions regarding available stock and account balances, and would need to phone the related area to inquire.

解决方案
To support Angostura’s continuous business growth, IT’s objective was to use digital technologies to improve business processes, increase organizational efficiency and manage costs better. For this initiative, Angostura selected Software AG’s webMethods Mobile Suite. The solution employs an iPad app that gives the salesperson current information from SAP integrated with order functionality in an easy-to-use mobile format. The sales process is done in real time and orders are automatically sent from the mobile app to SAP via the SAP NetWeaver gateway. The mobile app further streamlines the sales process with a new digital product catalog and the ability to provide customer-specific discounts and digital order-signing approvals.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
