We now have over 100 users of our iPad Sales Presenter / Order Taker worldwide.

Many of these have just downloaded the Sales Presenter app from the Apple App Store, followed the instructions and have got up and running without any direct involvement from the Blue Alligator team. By the time Spring Fair 2012 comes around we anticipate having 150 user companies including some market leaders that are fine-tuning their interfaces as you read this.

Marvell's order X~Suite

Marvell's, the UK's leading importer and supplier to trade of Metal Wall Art have chosen Blue Alligator’s X~Suite ERP system to help push forward their ambitious plans to grow the business and improve customer service.

With 35 years of importing and buying experience, Marvell’s knew exactly what they wanted from a new back office system, and Blue Alligator’s focus on the specific needs of the importer/wholesaler made X~Suite the obvious choice.

Exhibiting at Autumn Fair 2011

Building on the successful launch of our iPad Sales Presenter app in June we had a brilliant Autumn Fair with lots of interest in not only Sales Presenter but also PSales-Rep, our handheld order taking system and our X~Suite back office solution.

Wholesalers of all sizes were immediately gripped by the potential time and money saving possibilities of full colour digital catalogues with order taking on the iPad. No need for catalogues for reps and agents that are out of date by the time they are printed. Now catalogues can be managed from head office, simply uploaded to our Cloud and from there the reps and agents download up to date customer, products, prices and images straight onto their iPads.

Orders are taken and an acknowledgement simply emailed to the customer with a copy to head office for inputting to the back office system. Alternatively (for a small fee) orders can be downloaded electronically in .CSV format.

Companies who saw the app for the first time at Autumn Fair have already purchased copies from iTunes AppStore! Just search for Sales Presenter or Blue Alligator.

As an IT company with over 20 years’ experience of working with importer/wholesalers we understand the challenges you face, so why not talk to us about your requirements.

New Interactive Sales Presenter Photo Catalogue/Order Taking iPad app Hits the iTunes App Store

We are pleased to announce the launch of Sales Presenter, our innovative app for the iPad. Combining the visual impact of a high definition photo catalogue with the practicality of mobile order taking this stunning app is set to revolutionise the way reps take orders on the road or at trade shows.

Blue Alligator’s Sales Presenter/Order Taker is a serious business tool for photo catalogue based, mobile order taking for professional sales teams and Sales Agents. Now companies can dispense with printed catalogues (which are heavy and expensive to produce and keep up to date).

It’s a must for any company with an extensive range of products, whose reps carry catalogues to present these, need to see accurate stock information and create orders which have many lines. With sales meetings being time critical order taking must be interactive and fast and Sales Presenter excels in both of these.

Links to almost any main Order Processing/Stock Control system via Blue Alligator’s secure Cloud to get updates on stock, prices and customer info onto the iPad. Companies can map their own data extracts from their back office system and update reps iPads as often as they want (Blue Alligator can help with the interfacing if required). Only updates data fields that have changed since the previous update (especially useful for sales reps with a capped 3G package or without Wi-fi access).

Orders are sent back to the office as PDFs for manual input, or companies can contact Blue Alligator to find out how to automate the process and electronically upload the orders straight into their back office system.
