Streamlining Door-to-Door Sales Strategy with an Intelligent App
Customer Story
When the client’s business was acquired, the parent company expanded its offering to include fixed-line cable coverage – a service not previously provided by the acquirer, a mobile and DSL specialist. As with any entry into a new business segment, the parent company’s acquisition of the German cable provider presented many challenges, such as integrating data and determining the best way to execute sales strategy for a new service mix.
EPAM helped the client to develop a door-to-door (D2D) sales application that integrates the parent company's service offerings (mobile and DSL) with its own (cable TV) to support sales agents and boost revenue. The solution guides the client's employees around neighborhoods and apartment buildings based on walking lists that EPAM has optimized with real-time customer data to give agents the best possible chance of closing sales in the field.

The new and improved application is a highly efficient D2D sales navigator that gives sales agents a clear advantage over the competition, with features including:
- Targeted geo-information system to guide salespeople from location to location without wasting time
- Instant integration of CRM data to give salespeople full insight into the service history of each potential/existing customer and sales agent’s sales performance
- Scoring mechanism to provide sales agent only those buildings that are more preferable in terms of potential revenue
