Beam Global Uses Quofore Sales and Merchandising for Canadian Operations

Quofore, the world's leading provider of mobile sales force automation solutions, today announced that Beam Global, one of the world's leading premium spirits companies, has implemented Quofore sales and merchandising for its Canadian operations. Beam is in the process of expanding the Quofore Sales and Merchandising application to other markets.

The Quofore Sales and Merchandising application provides a solution to field representatives who are influencing the last three feet of the sale in store and provides access to information such as customer details; planograms, promotional campaigns and order history. Real-time intelligence captured in store is transferred to Quofore Management Suite upon synchronization for immediate analysis that can then drive insightful guidance back to the field.

"Our previous efforts using a CRM system didn't meet our operational needs, and we needed to make changes to automate the entire process," said Patrick Sweeney, Beam Field Sales Manager. "Quofore provides a better flow of information between corporate sales and marketing and the field reps; greater insight into call times and in-store perception of our brand; and improved data collection from point-of-sale activities."

"Beam is an excellent example of a consumer products company capitalizing on the latest mobile technology software technology for improved operational performance," said Harris Fogel, president, Quofore Americas. "We look forward to Beam's continued success as its global implementation efforts continue."
