Barotti Mobile

The Barotti Group started in 1982 as a furniture supplier to the corporate market in South Africa. Because of the volatility of the furniture market, the group moved into corporate stationery.  Barotti Online developed from the business principles and experience gained during this period.

The Barotti Online Business -to-Business (B2B) Internet Procurement System was launched in the last quarter of 2000.  This System allows corporations across any industry to trade with partners (Buyers and Sellers) over the Internet on a closed, relationship-based system – from International Corporations to local SME’s.

Following the growth of and demands by companies for mobile workers, and the need to make mobile workers more productive and efficient, Barotti developed and added a Mobile Application to its suite of products.

The Barotti Mobile Application was launched in May 2003.  This sophisticated, yet economical, mobile application was developed into a comprehensive system.  It was initially developed for   mobile workers to do two functions, namely, Sales orders and to perform Sales related services.

Since then the Mobile Application has been expanded to empower the mobile worker to do much more, and to enable the company to be in touch with its sales force continually. It in particular enables the sales force to do orders, promote and “detail” products, perform numerous pre-defined “tasks” at customer level, do market reconnaissance, control hot product pilfering, monitor store performance, keep track of company assets, monitor deliveries in real time, extract various reports and much more.

Barotti has a very good relationship with many other providers of Mobile functions and some of the more specialized tasks are performed in collaboration with such providers.

The Barotti Mobile System allows for real-time information to flow from the company to the worker and from the worker to the company.  Not only does this create more professional and efficient workers, but it allows the company to be in constant control of its workforce and to react immediately and accurately on the information at its disposal.

The company can know what is happening in every store where its products are sold – how they are  displayed, how the promotions are done, what the competition is doing, how hot products are being controlled and much more.

The company can take informed decisions on various up-to-date reports. Errors and delays are eliminated with a marked increase in efficiency and improvement in customer service.
