Having worked with Socket for over 10 years, and building a solid client base of customers who have purchased hundreds of CF barcode scanners as part of their MiniSell field sales solution, Aspin are now also pleased to recommend with confidence the Socket SoMo 650 as a durable, lightweight handheld computer that is an ideal replacement for the now end of life HP iPAQ.
For over twenty years, Aspin have been creating and providing complete business software solutions to fulfill the needs of importers, distributors, and wholesalers in Europe, North America, and Australia. With particular success in the garden, gift and greeting card retail market, Socket have been proud to partner with Aspin over the years.
MiniSell is a Sales Force Automation (SFA) application used to capture on-the-spot product orders while sales representatives are working in the Direct To Retail (DTR) environments or at Trade Shows and Exhibitions.
MiniSell allows sales orders to be processed rapidly and efficiently using handheld/PDA technology. Internet connectivity allows the orders to be sent back to the existing head office processing application, thus providing quick order fulfillment. The reps also have detailed access to call history, customer details and order information. In addition to this, they are able to view product stock availability, eliminating back orders and customer disappointment.
As an established user and promoter of the Socket CF and Bluetooth barcode scanners, Aspin are confident in the hardware quality, reliability and ease of use of Socket's products. With HP exiting the handheld market Aspin had no concerns in putting forward the SoMo 650 as a trustworthy replacement.
“The SoMo is an ideal fit for our consumer facing customers who wish to streamline their sales and order taking processes," said Nathan Aspin, sales director of Aspin. "They require a lightweight, yet durable handheld computer which has a good battery life and is at a reasonable price. The SoMo ticks those boxes”
Aspin maintains Socket Mobiles strengths’ are not limited to supplying quality hardware. “Socket Mobile continues to impress us with their high level of service. The team at Socket is really responsive, and that is exactly what we were looking for in a provider,” he said.
