eCat Introduces Latest Version of iPad App For Home Furnishings Reps

SuperCat Solutions announced the introduction of the latest version of eCat, a selling and order taking app for the iPad, that addresses the needs of today’s multi-bag sales representatives.
 
eCat streamlines the sales presentation, so that the customer can place an order directly. This in turn enables management to better track and manage the sales process. Current inventory information on the iPad allows the rep to present and sell available products first.  This increases sales on in-stock items and reduces the time between the sale and the invoice, which improves cash flow, so that reps are paid more quickly. 
 
“Our development team is focused razor sharp on providing the traveling sales representative with an app that is simple to use, efficient, and elegant. eCat presents the product beautifully with all the information the retailer needs to place the order,” says Steve Thrasher, president of SuperCat Solutions. “Not all companies have a fully dedicated sales team. This enhancement recognizes how the multi-bag rep actually works out on the road. It supports multiple companies on the same installation of the app.”
 
The newest version of the app automatically upgrades existing eCat apps. Other new functions include user interface upgrades, the ability to select multiple finishes and other options, and the ability to view the inventory status of multiple finishes. 
 
“We are listening to our customers and the reps, and making improvements to meet their needs, all while closely adhering to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines to keep the app intuitive and visually stunning,” he says.  “Our goal is to keep the focus on the product at all times, enabling reps to operate the app while keeping the buyer’s focus on the product where it belongs. We are continually upgrading the app for greater texture, depth and the graceful-but-ever-so-subtle movement that enhances the iPad experience.”
