![BlackBerry is an amazing tool for SMEs [Small and Medium Enterprises]. It enables them to improve business processes by taking non-disruptive baby steps](/eng/newsroom/success/KNR-Flat-Rock.jpg)
Business Challenge
- KNR Flat Rock’s sales force only spends a small number of hours a week in the company’s offices.
- As the company grew it became more difficult for the management team to communicate with its sales force.
- In addition, the company’s manual fax-based order-taking system could not meet its needs
Solution
- The company’s salespeople and management team are equipped with BlackBerry® smartphones, used by everyone for mobile email and calendar access.
- KNR Flat Rock worked with Mobile At Work to develop a bespoke order-taking BlackBerry application and deployed it with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange.
Results
- The deployment has helped the sales force develop a sense of team spirit and camaraderie.
- Data entry errors have been almost eliminated.
-
Support staff have been freed up to concentrate on customer-orientated services.
