App4Sales integration

App4Sales is a mobile sales application, that lets your sales agents place orders on behalf of your B2B customers. With this app the sales agent can easily display a digital catalogue with pictures of your products on a phone or tablet.

 

With this integration your data is synchronized between tracezilla and App4Sales, and has more advantages:

  • Access to your real time inventory status.
  • New customers added in App4Sales will be synchronized to tracezilla as a Partner.
  • The sales agent has access to the customer data and previous orders.
  • Send order confirmations by mail straight from App4Sales.

App4Sales can be used both online and offline. Please notice!, that your tracezilla warehouse will not be synchronized without internet access.

Basic Settings

Title Explanation
Warehouse Location Select the warehouse location of your products. This will be the location of which your stock is synchronized. Start by entering the partner name (company name) in the first field, and enter the location in the field below.
Language Select the language of your products, documents and more. You can select multiple languages in your Company Settings.
Tag imported orders with this tag Get a full view of your App4Sales orders, by giving them a tag, e.g. an ”App4Sales”-tag. This enables you to look up the specific orders in the order overview, and to generate a sales report of these orders. Please note, the tag must be created beforehand.
Tag imported customers with this tag New customers can be created in App4Sales and synchronized to tracezilla as partners. You can filter out the newly created customers, by adding a tag, e.g. “App4Sales”. You can also create a separate tag for new customers, e.g. “New Customer”. It will most likely be necessary to add further information about the customers created in the App4Sales app. Please note, the tag must be created beforehand.
Upload SKUs with the following tag to the Catalog You select which products are to be part of your product catalogue by adding a tag. Please note, the tag must be created beforehand.
Upload partners with the following tags By adding a tag to a partner, the partner will appear in App4Sales. Information about the partner will be synchronized from tracezilla, including previous orders. Please not, the tag must be created beforehand.
Use Debtor No. instead of Partner No. If you are have an accounting system integration, e.g. e-conomic, you can synchronize the debtor number into tracezilla. When a partner is created in tracezilla, a unique partner number is automatically added. You can choose to overwrite this partner number i App4Sales, for the debtor number from your accounting system to appear in stead.

 

Price Lists

You can add up to 4 price lists in App4Sales. These price lists are taken from tracezilla.

Note! You can add multiple price lists in tracezilla. We recommend, that you have sales price lists based on general customer groups instead of specific customers. These customer groups can be “Retail”, “Distributors”, etc.

Price lists must be created beforehand and added to partners, who are expected to place orders through App4Sales.

Title Explanation
Price List #1 Select a price list from the drop-down menu. If the price lists is added to a customer, these prices will apply.
Price List #2 Select a price list from the drop-down menu.
Price List #3 Select a price list from the drop-down menu.
Price List #4 Select a price list from the drop-down menu.
Fallback price list If no price list has been entered for a customer, the fallback price list will apply. We recommend this being a standard price list with default prices.
Discount Service If you wish to give a discount to a customer, you can create a Service in tracezilla, and select the service in this field.

 

FTP-connection

To enable synchronization between tracezilla and App4Sales an FTP server is needed. The FTP server acts as a intermedieary.
