mobile app that ties into concrete ecommerce app
Permalink
I am looking for a solution for sales people in the field who can quote jobs and run credit cards through a centralized concrete5 ecoommerce solution that will keep track of customers, jobs, inventory, etc.
This solution will require several parts I understand.
Thank you for any thoughts.
Regards,
Sandy

Antti / Mainio,
Thank you for your email.
The product / service is a mosquito misting service.
1. onsite quote app that talks to concrete5, OR ipad access direct to site, which will store quotes in a back end database.
2. quotes are fairly simple. The challenging element is getting a birdseye of the property (from mapquest). I want salesman to be able to draw lines around properties where the misting lines would go on an installation. I think this is the ipad app element that might be a little more complex. This could be added into a solution at a later date, if I need to find an app developer.
3. maintenance billings monthly. This will be two or three simple concepts - how much liquid we refill (1/4, 1/2, 1), labor for any replacement or alteration of the system, parts.
4. the parts are simple - the machine, 1/4 inch plastic tubing, nozzles, copper stakes, outdoor sleeve, maintenance plan.
5. Yes, I would like paying jobs through the platform - with the ability for a salesman to have the customer sign, charge a card on site, and email client. Same with monthly billings - email receipts.
6. Eventually there will be locations, so I want store 1 and store 2 to be able to log in so all accounting data is separated but can be displayed on one spread sheet. This is not something I need right now but for the future.
7. We have a merchant account, so we will get the gateway thing going when necessary.
There are various products out there but I haven't found the correct answer. I like the idea of an easy onsite experience for sales people and customers. I have to determine if this is a combination of ipad app and concrete backend. As a concrete5 loyalist (I built the below site, which has 1000 images in it - my art career) I would like to find a concrete5 answer that we can grow with, something that might be a little stronger or more tailored to my business than the ecommerce blocks etc.
Thank you for your thoughts. Where do you work out of?

I sent you mail.
- What kind of jobs do they need to quote?
- What data do you need to keep track on the customers?
- Are they paying for the jobs also through the platform?
- What kind of inventory information you need?
- I suppose you want to use 3rd party service for running through the credit card payments? Any idea which one or leave for the developer to decide?
- And do you have any kind of service concept ready for this that would open up the requirements or do you want the developer to help you out with the requirements engineering as well?
Few questions to push you further with explaining the idea.
We're doing concrete5 custom projects with high level of expertise so if you're interested working together, just drop a PM to me.
Best,
