The Electronic Order Pad (EOP) will become the tool your DSRs (Distributor Sales Reps) will value most to get their jobs done effectively and efficiently.
The EOP is our first mobile application based off entrée.NET. This means that EOP communicates directly with a remote entrée.NET secure server, and not your local server in your office.
The application is unlike anything your DSRs have ever experienced because you can create customer orders quickly, while receiving important information to increase sales volume and profit margins.
The large, high-resolution display allows your DSRs to see their work like never before. It is incredibly thin and light, and provides instant-on access at the press of a button, so work is almost always at-hand.
The multi-touch screen on the tablet is incredibly precise and responsive, which allows DSRs to work using just their fingers or a stylus, with little need for training or support. And with up to ten hours of battery life, the Electronic Order Pad is always ready to work whenever your DSRs are. When your customers see it in action, they can't help but be impressed as they realize your food distribution company is on the leading edge in technology.
Whenever program updates or bug fixes are released, there is no need to download anything to the tablet because the software is running in the “cloud”. This simplifies this technology for you and your DSRs.
The Electronic Order Pad was originally created to run on Apple’s iPad 2 tablet computers. In November 2012 our Electronic Order Pad app for Android was added to the Google Play Store. NECS is also currently supporting Android 7" and 10" tablets like the Google Nexus 9 tablet.
The Android version of the Electronic Order Pad has one key feature that the Apple iPad version does not have: the ability to print an "Order Confirmation" via a Star Micronics Bluetooth printer on 4" receipt paper.
If you have a Google Nexus tablet, simply click on the "Play Store" icon, then enter "electronic order pad" in the search area to find it. It is a free download that will have an option to go into a "demo" mode, so you can see how it works before deciding to purchase.
How Electronic Order Pad Works
The Electronic Order Pad is a mobile application which works with our cloud based entrée.NET servers. This means the Electronic Order Pad communicates directly with our entrée.NET system in the cloud, and in turn that cloud based system communicates with the local server in your office.
So your tablet must have Internet access to create orders, etc. This can be either via WIFI or through a cell network such as Verizon with a data plan. None of your company's precious data is stored on the device, so if the tablet is lost or stolen you are not at risk.
All activity such as creating a customer order is saved on the entrée.NET cloud servers as the order is built. Because of this, if the tablet looses wireless access or powers down suddenly, no data will be lost. The DSR will simply log back in, and complete the order exactly where they left off.
