Definitely. It is an ideal device to do follow-ups as well as showing new products for sale. It is the best device for marketing, sales, and advertising.
I work for Blue Orange Apps in Panama City, Panama. We made iPO.
It's an app that a bunch of people with sales reps teams, tradeshows, wholesale and retail business have been using. iPO - Catalog & Sales. It's for iPad. It has a bunch of features a lot of people have found useful, such as:
Freemium model - very few, or no other apps do this - that I’ve seen. We actually just implemented this to get word of mouth out - like Dropbox did.
Very quick to set up. Just fill an Excel sheet and drag product pictures into your Dropbox
Pictures are displayed upfront and products are given priority, like a Catalog app should be. No head-akes setting up a bunch of other stuff
Really easy to integrate with any CRM through a flat file API - products, clients and orders all importable and exportable with CSV files
The app is pretty quick, navigation-wise.
Categories, subcategories and even multifiltered subsubcategories
Global product search
Camera barcode scanning - we’ll be looking into laser barcode scanning soon
Interface is really intuitively designed
Purchase orders are sent to client and back end office
You can sell offline - products are all local on the iPad - this is critical
You can take client and sales rep signature with really good digital signature technology
