The MSFA provides the mobile sales force with valuable access to all the relevant information needed when they are out in the field serving their customers, to best promote their products or services. With all the relevant information at their finger tips, a field sales representative can browse through the purchase history of any customer, identify any outstanding payments, check particular stock levels as well as promote any special offers that their company might be offering at the time. With such a wealth of information, instantly accessible from their handheld PDAs, the MSFA favours the sales representative to serve their customers better, thus improving overall customer satisfaction and maximise sales.

On return back to the base at end of day, the sales representative can easily upload all the information stored in the PDA to the main database via a simple synchronisation process.
