Instant Alerts Change the Game on Mobile Data Collection

VisitBasis pioneers in offering instant activity alerts to time-sensitive, retail-related businesses.



VisitBasis has just unveiled a major new feature to its retail mobile data collection software.
More than just integrating with a messenger-type tool, the award-winning company from Hallandale Beach, FL, pioneers in offering a real-time field activity alert solution.



VisitBasis now sends automatic notifications to chat rooms of any activity being performed in the field, according to pre-set parameters, along with links to the activity details. This opens up a new set of possibilities in keeping managers on top of the initiatives being performed at the point-of-sale.

For example, instant alerts can become an essential tool in the following scenarios:
  • A group that manages product merchandising can receive a message every time a planogram audit is performed and react immediately to any out-of-stocks.
  • Sales operations can receive automatic notifications every time an order is placed.
  • Franchise operations can be alerted when a certain critical store has been audited and automatically access the audit report.

“Our customers rely on the ability of making time-sensitive decisions in order to attract and keep their own customers,” adds Sergey Gorbunov, CEO of VisitBasis. “Beyond monitoring, our alert solution allows them to be notified straight away of any field situation that might require their immediate attention.”

If we assume that a filing cabinet uses from 6 to 20 square feet of space and the office space costs $23 per square foot , the space for a one filing cabinet will cost a company $1656– 5520 per year .   How to Go Paperless?
