USE CASE

Field Sales & Distribution

Run your sales team in the field, from first visit to final payment, even offline.

◆  Lead tracking
Orders and payment plans
Stock and agents

The Challenge

Last-mile sales happen far from the office, and paper order books and patchy signal leave managers guessing what was sold, delivered, and paid.

Agents out of reach

Sales teams work in villages with no office and no signal.

Payments hard to follow

Payment plans slip when no one sees a missed payment.

CRM stops at the office

Office tools like Salesforce don’t reach agents offline.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Field Sales & Distribution FAQs

Sales operations

Can our sales agents use CommCare offline?
Yes, CommCare is offline-first. Agents can find leads, record sales, and collect payments far from any signal, and data syncs when a connection returns.
Can we sell on payment plans and collect installments?
Yes. Agents set the plan at the point of sale, record each payment by cash or mobile money, and schedule a follow-up when a payment is missed. Each customer keeps one record from first visit to final payment.
Can agents track stock and request restocks?
Yes. Agents and shops record stock on hand at every visit, and low stock can trigger a restock request so the team can act before shelves run empty.

Systems & cost

Does CommCare work with Salesforce?
Yes. Many teams keep Salesforce as their CRM and use CommCare as the offline app in the field. CommCare’s open APIs and data forwarding send leads, sales, and payments to Salesforce, and integration tools like Zapier and OpenFn can keep the two in sync. See integrations.
How do we track agent performance and commissions?
Worker activity reports show visits, sales, and collections for every agent, so managers can see who is on track and who needs coaching. Sales data exports to your payroll or commission system. See how to manage at scale.
How do we get started, and what does it cost?
Start with CommCare’s free edition and build your first app with the no-code builder. Paid plans start at $100 per month. See pricing or talk to our team.
