Yes, if you buy a single-user license, multiple people can still access dynaMACS; however only one person can access the software at a time. If you would like to give users “simultaneous access” so they can all access it at the same time, you need to purchase a simultaneous network license for each additional user.

dynaMACS Mobile

What is dynaMACS Mobile?
dynaMACS Mobile is a software program that empowers sales reps in the field to receive up-to-data sales and commission information electronically—at home, in the office, or anywhere they have an Internet connection. In addition, managers and owners can receive updated data for multiple territories. With Mobile, there is no need to wait until month-end to send sales figures. Reps can get numbers daily, if the agency prefers. And it eliminates costs and time associated with preparing, printing and mailing bulky reports each month.

How does dynaMACS Mobile help sales reps do their jobs better?
Imagine your sales reps being able to pull up the latest sales figures, while they have a customer or manufacturer on the phone or in a meeting. Whether they’re traveling, at home or at the office, reps can use their laptops or PCs to receive updated sales activity for their accounts. And they don’t have to be connected to the Internet to view numbers, once they’ve downloaded. They can sort information by manufacturer, customer, territory, year-to-date sales and more—making them more confident, knowing they’re armed with up-to-date numbers. They can also use the reports to create professional charts and graphs for presentations—and even use their laptops to display reports on a projection screen at a meeting—an impressive use of savvy technology.

How does dynaMACS Mobile work?
dynaMACS Mobile works electronically, and effortlessly. After the agency enters sales and commission data from factories into its database, it then—with a few mouse clicks—sends updated figures to fields sales reps, sales managers, agency owners, and anyone else who is authorized to view data. No print-outs, no mail. Reps receive files with updated information via email. In seconds, their database is updated, so they can sort and view numbers any way they want.

Is dynaMACS Mobile easy to use?
Absolutely. The Windows-based software is easy to learn, even for novices. In addition, demos, helps guides and technical support are available.

Does “Mobile” mean I buy a mobile device, like a PDA?
No. The term “mobile” simply refers to the ability to access updated information anywhere, anytime. All you need is the Mobile software installed on a laptop, office PC or home computer. You’ll need one copy of the “Export” software, which enables the agency to send files, and one copy of the Mobile software for each person who wants to access, view, sort and print information.

Our agency has managers responsible for multiple field sales reps. Can he/she view data for more than one territory?
Yes, you can configure a mobile in a variety of ways. For example, your sales reps will have access only to their customers and factories’ sales and commission data, while a sales manager sees all of his sales reps’ territories, and an agency owner sees a comprehensive view of all agency activity.

What if I only want to see numbers for customer in one region?
Not a problem! You can sort, view and print data any way you like. Viewing all customers in a  particular territory is as easy one or two mouse clicks to select the criteria (all customers in Northeast Ohio, for example). Each mobile user can sort and sequence information by manufacturer, year-to-date sales, customer history and much more.

What happens if the agency sends the wrong file to the wrong rep?
You can’t! dynaMACS Mobile has built-in security that prevents the wrong data from being imported by the wrong sales rep. For example, if you try to send Joe Black’s territory to another rep, mobile does not import the file and sends an error message.

How often does the agency send information to field sales reps?
As often as you like. If you enter sales and commission data from factories daily, you can send it to field reps the same day, with just a few mouse clicks.

Back to top

Can the agency, or a rep in the field, print reports?
Yes, you have a variety of reports to choose from, such as sorts by all manufacturers represented, only customers in a geographic region, or sales rep commission for a particular sales manager’s direct reports. All you do is select the criteria and print. And, you can chart and graph the reports, to create colorful and informative visuals for use in presentations.

Back to top

Can I create mailing list using dynaMACS Mobile?
Yes. To do so, use dynaMACS Mobile in conjunction with a third party program such as Microsoft Word, or your contact database. In addition to mailing lists, you can easily create form letters, mail merges, labels, envelopes, email lists and broadcast faxes.

If a salesman leaves, does the agency have to buy another mobile for the new rep?
No. When setting up a sales rep with dynaMACS Mobile, the software is loaded onto his/her computer. We ask that they uninstall the software and the new rep contacts support to install the mobile software on their computer after the agency makes the necessary security changes in their dynaMACS database.
