Introduction :

We have implemented the HHT project in the company. The HHC and printer devices are installed in the vans/trucks (wiring done in the early stage of implementation) for utilization in the sales and distribution activities of the route. To support the van sales automation, the IT infrastructure such as the central server, PC units, networks, communications and other required facilities must be installed and configured to accomplish the objective of the project. Manpower training and deployment have to be conducted to run the project in an organized manner. Software or applications have to be put in place to cater for the processing requirements of the company. We have to consider the following application systems: 1. HHC the program installed in handheld device to run the sales force application. Masters data, loading quantity, prices, control parameters and other information are downloaded in the handheld device. The salesman of the route utilizes the program to capture of inventory information, do the sales, distribution, issue invoice and other activities in the market, unload inventory quantities in the depot or warehouse and do settlement. The sales, collection, settlement and other data collected in the handheld are uploaded in the BackEnd PC/server. Some function such as merchandising, GPS monitoring and other special functionalities are exercised in the market. 2. Communications There are 2 activities done by the communications server: 1) downloading data from BackEnd to HHC and 2) uploading end-of-day sales and other information from HHC to BackEnd. A separate program (Communications 6920 or Hermes) is used to handle the physical transfer of data from and to backend to handheld device, and vice-versa. Though decentralization of server can be offered, Mirnah strongly recommend the centralization setup for any HHT project to gain more benefits. 3. BackOffice This application takes care of the maintenance of master data (items and item groupings, customers and customer categories, organization hierarchy, references and etc), setting up of parameters, entry of quantity received, entry of van load (or if opted, forecast the loads for the route and allocate inventory received to route from forecast), prepare files for download, posting of inventory, sales and other end-of-day data to database, maintenance of TC accounts receivables, integration of data to ERP, reporting and other back office activities. 4. ERP, data mining and business intelligence These applications are selected and implemented by the client in running their business trade. As a standard, the integration of sales force data to ERP on regular basis (daily) is part of the project.

The Routepro BO application is used in the overall sales force automation management system with functions as follows: 1. Data capture of sales information.

2. Inventory management.

3. Customer sales and promotions.

4. Van sales accounting.

5. Accounts receivables 6. Distribution management.

7. Order management.

8. Merchandising.

9. Route management
