- Field Team
Mobile app for the sales teams' collaboration
Short summary
Client: Multinational pharmaceutical company
Need: The client’s sales team was distributed across countries and lacked tools for effective communication. The client wanted to build a mobile application to connect sales representatives and streamline their regular workflows.
Challenge: Because of the very specific workflows for the pharmaceutical company they could not use any of the solutions available on the market. They required a combination of chat and resources management functionality.
Solution: Existek’s business team came up with the concept of a hybrid mobile application that is capable of making chat, financial, and assets management records. We built Android and iOS applications using Flutter to save budget and time.
Impact: With the convenient tool at their disposal, the sales team managed to achieve 123% higher sales on average. At the same time, automated cost and assets records allowed the client to decrease associated costs by 40% which had a very positive impact on clients’ business across the board.

We needed a mobile application for the sales and field force managers to make communication across the team more efficient and keep the records about their tasks. We’ve been looking for the company with the experience in enterprise ERP solutions and found EXISTEK among them. We liked the communication so after the discussion and initial discovery/documentation stage we hired their team for a smaller side project, which is a mobile app. Their reliability was impressive. That is a huge deal since we wanted a team that shared the same views with us.

Core Features
Core features we implemented
We had to build a solution for the field force and sales managers that would make it easy to control the employees, track their achievements and keep the records of tasks. As a result, we’ve created Field Team.
Divide field agents by teams, territories, and product types
Keep all your employees divided by categories to know what group of customers they’re working with.
Keep chats with admins and users separate
Create separate chats for managers and field agents, or teams that are working on a specific territory or group of products.
In-App tracking of KPIs
Track sales of specific agents and assign them bonuses that will be paid later via the regular payroll.
Periodic reports
Store all reports in one place with the possibility to export them if needed. Apply filters to see the assigned bonuses and sales of the specific agent or team on the particular territory.

Discovery stage
Primary goals and challenges
The control over the field agents is essential in the sales industry. Our client’s key objective was to create a solution that will allow keeping an eye on the sales team without really being there. Client’s initial goals were:
To make communication between team members easier
To keep records about tasks and achievements structured
To track financial KPIs bonded to the specific field agent or territory
To make communication between team members easier
Deliverables
Who we build for
The application is created for the internal use by a transnational pharmaceutical company that sells and distributes medications in the Middle East and Europe.
Solution
Our goal was to create the field force management software for a pharmaceutical company in order to automate and enhance the internal workflows. We have built a hybrid app with Flutter that runs on both iOS and Android and provides native-like experience.

UI/UX design
Colors
We designed an application for an enterprise. It depended on us, how easy it will be for the dozens of people to use the application and stay focused. That’s why creating the intuitive and minimalistic interface was our top priority. In order not to overload the design, we have chosen simple colors.

Project summary
Our goal was to deliver an enterprise application of the best possible quality to the client. We started with the idea and made all the way to launch within a 6-months timeframe. The well-thought pre-development stage allowed us to avoid any delays or extra spendings during the development. As a result – we completed a quality app with sophisticated workflows in time and with zero budget overburn.
