Saving money on storage costs and production costs

Save Money

Thanks to the various functions and insights offered by eCOS^® Sales, you gain access to smarter and better-optimized management of the entire merchandising order process.

Improve the working conditions of your teams

eCOS^® Sales also provides an opportunity to address an important aspect of your CSR strategy: social responsibility.

Thanks to an integrated and optimized management system, teams are relieved of low-value tasks, allowing them to allocate this time to more productive actions.

Sales representatives, for instance, can save up to 50% of their time on travel or store visit reports—time they can use to further develop their portfolio and enhance their customer relationships.

At Nestlé, warehouse management required 2 full-time employees in the back office. By reducing the number of storage facilities and optimizing their management, this time could be allocated to higher-value-added tasks.

Opting for eCOS^® Sales means partnering with a company that actively supports you in taking concrete, measurable steps toward a better world.
