From field force accounting to field force automation - the ultimate motive of Field Force Automation (FFA) is instant access to field information and bridge the gap between the field force and the back office management. An ideal mobile field force automation solution focuses on achieving real-time and accurate information to be passed on from the sales teams onto the organization’s back office system, thereby enabling a view of the desired sales reports right on time.
