项目摘要

Currently, sales reps in many companies rely on simple note taking and observation in the field. Usually, thesynchronization of these notes with other sales reps and the manager does not take place until at the end of theday, or possibly later. With the advances in mobile computing and high-speed persistent networks, sales repscould provide updates in real-time to other sales reps and their managers. Furthermore, critical instructionscould also be relayed to the field sales rep immediately, thereby avoiding costly delays by scheduling anothervisit to the site at a later date.Encore Market Engagement is eager to extend the prototypes developed from a previous R&D initiative withSheridan to create a fully implemented mobile app for their sales reps. Encore is interested in this collaborativeR&D mobile computing project, comprised of:- Maximizing sales reps' in-car time for business purposes: Encore's clients currently use a dataacquisition/sales force tool (EnCompass) for the iPad. The goal is to extend the prototypes developed into fullcommercial implementations so that sales reps will be more productive while in transit.- Sales rep customized routing algorithm: A flexible, customizable algorithm for sales reps is needed togenerate routing schedules and to provide options by which sales reps can adjust their schedules if necessary(e.g., a high priority issue needs to be addressed). The solution to this problem will involve cloud computingand mobile computing resources.The benefits of this project to the partner include a technology solution that will result in increased sale forceefficiency by streamlining processes, and ultimately increasing Encore's client profit margins by maximizingtheir return on investment. The benefit to Sheridan is increased student engagement in applied research andreal-world challenging problems. The benefits to the research discipline include new knowledge and expertisethat can be disseminated and transferred to Canadian companies, locally, provincially and nationally.
目前,许多公司的销售代表依靠简单的笔记和现场观察。通常,这些笔记与其他销售代表和经理的同步要到当天结束时或可能稍后才会进行。随着移动计算和高速持久网络的进步,销售代表可以向其他销售代表及其经理实时提供更新。此外,关键指令还可以立即转发给现场销售代表,从而通过安排稍后再次访问现场来避免代价高昂的延误。Encore Market Engagement 渴望扩展之前与 Sheridan 的研发计划开发的原型,为他们的销售代表创建一个完全实施的移动应用程序。 Encore 对这个协作研发移动计算项目感兴趣,该项目包括: - 最大限度地提高销售代表在车内的业务时间:Encore 的客户目前使用适用于 iPad 的数据采集/销售人员工具 (EnCompass)。目标是将开发的原型扩展到完整的商业实施,以便销售代表在运输过程中提高工作效率。 - 销售代表定制路由算法:需要为销售代表提供灵活的、可定制的算法来生成路由计划,并提供销售代表在必要时调整其计划的选项(例如,需要解决高优先级问题)。该问题的解决方案将涉及云计算和移动计算资源。该项目为合作伙伴带来的好处包括一种技术解决方案,该解决方案将通过简化流程来提高销售人员的效率,并最终通过最大化投资回报来提高 Encore 的客户利润率。谢里登的好处是提高了学生对应用研究和现实世界挑战性问题的参与度。研究学科的好处包括可以向加拿大本地、省级和国家级公司传播和转让新知识和专业知识。
