A partnership between ERP company Acumatica, and cloud-based field sales management and mobile sales solutions Skynamo will give sales teams access to inventory, product and customer information and ability to capture and submit customer information and orders.
As an Acumatica Independent Software Vendor (ISV), Skynamo is working with Acumatica resellers to implement and support the business’ combined field sales solution to its existing and prospective customers. The partnership will enable any kind of manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor with a team of sales reps to benefit from synchronised Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data functionality, which reps can access while on the road.
Skynamo’s field-sales app enables reps to access product stock levels, pricing, discounts and inventory data when visiting a customer site. This empowers sales reps to remotely submit orders, allow for customer visits to be recorded, and for notes from customer interactions to be accurately captured – all from a mobile device. It also uses mobile and GPS technology to give managers real-time visibility into sales activity in the field, while greatly reducing the number of administrative tasks for sales reps that tend to take their time away from building relationships and selling to customers.
“Our partnership means that Acumatica customers will be able to improve the quality and volume of customer data and sales activity information they have access to by giving sales reps a much easier way of capturing and acting on it in the field,” said Brian Howe, Alliances Director for Skynamo. “Acumatica customers will benefit from an increase in sales revenue as a direct result of enabling field sales reps to visit more customers and spend more time with them thanks to Skynamo’s time-saving mobile sales functionality.”
“Skynamo’s cloud-based mobile-first solution supports our mission to deliver adaptable cloud and mobile technology to the market and enable every customer to have a complete, real-time view of their business anytime, anywhere, on any device,” said Christian Lindberg, VP of Partner Solutions for Acumatica. “Our partnership enables customers with field sales reps to derive more value from their investment in Acumatica and for our resellers to offer additional functionality and services to our customer base.”
Skynamo is a mobile sales app that reduces administrative tasks for field sales reps and improves accuracy of data and orders collected in the field, so they can sell more. It also provides sales managers with insight into field sales activity in order to coach sales reps and improve sales. Among the many problems solved by the Skynamo sales app are inaccurate orders, inaccurate data collected in the field, lack of visibility into sales activity, poor sales performance and lost sales opportunities.

Data centre and cloud services provider Proact has successfully supported Group Victor Peeters to deploy additional IT capacity for specific business activities. In addition, Proact is also creating a test and development environment for Group Victor Peeter’s new ERP system.
Group Victor Peeters is a leading specialist in industrial cleaning with over 45 construction yards across Belgium and the Netherlands. Peeters uses state-of-the-art technology to provide its customers with the best solutions.
When Peeters needed instant capacity for specific activities, the IT department turned to Proact for help. Koen Van den Kerkhof, Technical Lead ICT at Group Victor Peeters, says: “It was too complex and time-consuming to prepare our existing infrastructure to support these activities on short notice. That’s why we asked Proact to come up with a solution.
“Proact created an IT-as-a-Service based proposition which enables us to offer our staff compute and storage capacity on the fly through a VDI platform.”
Peeters still needed to use a key legacy software solution and wanted to integrate this into the ITaaS platform. Proact and a specialist partner worked closely together to enable the use of this platform, which is hosted and maintained at the partner´s data centre. Connectivity to the Proact data centre is facilitated via a dedicated VPN connection.
Utilising the broad knowledge of the Proact Group, a second project is in progress which involves the creation of a test and development environment for Peeters Group’s new ERP system. Van den Kerkhof decided that Peeters needs to stick to an on-premises platform based on Microsoft Dynamics.
Van den Kerkhof adds: “Because we do not want to use our own data centre for test and development, we asked Proact to deliver a private cloud solution. The various iterations of our new ERP platform will be hosted by Proact in its data centre. This way, we can work consistently and without impacting production systems, and we can fine-tune the new solution, which is expected to go live at the company on January 1st, 2019.”
Koen Van den Kerkhof is extremely happy with all the help Proact has provided so far. “We now have the systems in place that prepare us for the future. These new projects were handled in the same professional way. Proact has been a true partner and was able to act fast and flexibly.”
Sander Dekker, Business Unit Director of Europe West at Proact, says: “Peeters is a long-time Proact customer who counts on our expertise and services to support their business processes with IT. We are very happy to have helped them with these two projects and look forward to keep on serving Peeters in the future.”
