Central Database

The central database links the reps and head office. Once a rep synchronizes, the data collected from each account, along with any notes, photos, and customer contacts is uploaded to the central database, ensuring that collected data will not be lost. At the same time any new tasks, surveys, and account information is downloaded to the rep. Managers can access the central database at any time via the Mantis management system.

Mantis Management System

The web-enabled Management System is used by head office to access all account information stored in the central database. Your management team receives up-to-the-minute ground level account and competitor intelligence. The built-in report writer allows data to be easily analyzed and exported, without involving technical resources. Assign tasks and stay informed, while freeing your field force from repetitive paperwork and the necessity of traveling to head office every time there's an update.
