EasyWay is the app designed specifically for Field Sales Reps! Natacha V. - Sales Director “This app is a game-changer for preparing my routes. It saves me so much time and allows me to easily keep track of my appointments, including summaries with the date, time spent, and future client needs. As a Sales Director, I’ve recommended it to my team, and they’ve all appreciated the efficiency and time savings it offers.” Ben S. - Business Engineer “Harold has developed an outstanding app that simplifies route planning and provides a clear overview of visit statuses across the sales territory. It’s a real time-saver for my daily activities! The app is intuitive, user-friendly, and easy to get started with. On top of that, Harold is incredibly responsive when it comes to implementing new features to enhance the experience. I strongly recommend this app to all field sales reps—try it, and you’ll adopt it in no time!” Its purpose: to save you time so you can spend more with your clients. It has four main features that make it a tailor-made app for salespeople: • A contact map • A prospect search in Google Maps • A route planner and optimizer • A visit history This makes it a sort of mini-CRM or personal CRM, dedicated to field sales professionals. But why would you need such an app if you already have a CRM? Many CRMs are outdated and often have issues such as: • Only a web app on a PC, forcing you to take out your PC in the car and requiring a network connection • CRMs without a contact map, forcing you to use Google Maps alongside your clients • 2000s-era ergonomics Let’s take a tour of the app and explore its features in more detail! • STARTING POINT: A CONTACT MAP: These are from your phone’s directory or an Excel file. You can also manually add a contact. There’s even a filter system by group or last visit to simplify finding the next client to visit. • LOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS: Launch a search in a city or around a client. Add the results directly to your route in just a few clicks. • EASY PLANNING: Add clients to a route in two clicks. • VISIT SETUP: Define the time on-site and set a fixed or flexible hour. • SMART OPTIMIZATION: Optimize your route and get the shortest itinerary ⇒ saving time and energy. • THE ROUTE IS READY, LET’S GO: Start the route and check your schedule during the day ⇒ know if you can extend or shorten the visit. • EASY NAVIGATION: Start navigation to your contacts in one click with your favorite navigation app (Waze, Google Maps…). • VISIT HISTORY: Keep track of the visit date (with or without notes). • END OF THE ROUTE: Congratulations, you’ve reached the end, but it’s not over yet… Download Easy Way! You can use it for free indefinitely (with some limitations, but it’s perfectly usable). You can enjoy a one-month free trial to test all the features. Please note that this app requires a paid subscription to access all its features. Your Apple ID account will be charged on the last day of your free trial. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled 24 hours before the expiration date. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Enjoy a one-week free trial to test all the features.
