Challenges

With more than 600 sales reps, the wine merchant had outgrown their outdated, paper-based order processing system and were looking for a solution to streamline and improve their efficiency.
Pieroth needed to reduce their order to delivery time frame. A customer ordering wine would have to wait up to ten days for their wine to be delivered, as the majority of this time was spent in order processing.
To fit alongside WIV’s B2C business, the solution had to combine a modern eCommerce interface with the functionality of sales automation including integration with WIV’s SAP ECC 6.0 ERP system.
Pieroth wanted to improve communication between management and the field sales force, as well as providing relevant customer information, to improve the effectiveness of customer interactions.

Solution

In response to WIV’s B2C requirements, WIV configured the Pepperi mobile sales by:

Incorporating consumer-centric ordering workflows – to reduce the time from order to delivery.
Adding visual allocation of reps to clients based on geo-locations, saving traveling time in the field
Providing reps with a complete 360^o customer view in the field. Enabling them to see customer interactions based on order history, customer preferences, providing relevant special offers, and more.
Scaling the Pepperi app to meet the big data demands of a B2C sales company.
Processing orders as soon as they are entered in the field, leveraging real-time integration with WIV’s SAP ECC 6.0 ERP system.

Results

Streamlined ordering and immediate back-end processing led to a 70% reduction of order-to-delivery time
E-catalog display to increase sales – now, reps can showcase their wines through a high-end visual presentation on their tablet device that is interactive and relevant. Information includes up-sell and cross-sell recommendations
