VisitBasis Introduces Exciting New Features

VisitBasis, one of the leading retail mobile data collection software packages in the market, has just introduced exciting and useful new features, further benefiting its users.

Says Sergey Gorbunov, CEO of VisitBasis:  "Our software is always evolving. We are consistently developing our products as we closely watch and ask about our customer needs."

Integration with Google Drive
In previous versions, VisitBasis already had implemented the integration of its scheduling features with Google Calendar. Now, besides downloading files, users can also save the reports generated by VisitBasis on their Google Drive, allowing them to immediately make use of Google's file sharing and editing tools.

Third-party access to VisitBasis reports
It is clear that not only the professionals actually executing retail data collection efforts are interested in viewing their results. Sometimes there are many stakeholders in a merchandising or retail audit project, such as internal and external clients, that need to have frequent access to project status but that should not see database details. For this common scenario, VisitBasis has opened third-party access to its reporting tool, in addition to already available VisitBasis Analytics and visit summary tools.

VisitBasis Notifications
VisitBasis now tells you automatically, on the admin interface screen, about new features and system updates.

Schedule by Location
It is now possible to schedule hundreds of visits at a time on VisitBasis with the new Schedule by Location feature. This tool is specially useful for businesses that send out many reps to the the same locations to perform the same activities and need agility in scheduling and planning these visits. Watch the below video to see how it works:

Implementing Sustainable Merchandising

In the factory-to-customer cycle, merchandising is one of the most wasteful processes. From the fuel consumed by field reps to the amount of paper used in traditional audits and surveys, on top of promotional and seasonal displays, it is easy to see why merchandising is considered “eco-unfriendly”. A field merchandising app can make a world of difference when it comes to sustainability. By adopting a field merchandising app, CPG and FMCG businesses can expect the following: Virtually eliminate the use of paper in in-store activities such as planogram checks, audits, surveys, and orders, among others.

Cloud for Retail Execution: Make Away with Data Storage Costs

Why Go Paperless? In order to store 2 million paper documents, an organization can expect to spend between $40,000 and $60,000 on filing cabinets alone. Those same files could fit on fewer than ten CD-ROMs (Business Guide to Paper Reduction) . 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? When you choose paperless data collection your data storage costs can be significantly reduced or even brought to zero. Digital data collected using mobile forms require much less space than paper sheets and therefore cost less money. With the development of mobile technology you don’t need CDs or any other data carriers to store and access your data. More and more companies opt for Cloud storage. The price of Cloud storage starts at $0.01 GB per month and the average number of MS Word pages per GB is 64782.
