Challenges
Before partnering with SalesJump, SNJ Group did not use any sales force automation software and relied entirely on manual processes. In their previous system, supervisors served as the primary point of contact for salespeople. Each hub was assigned a set number of supervisors, under whom the sales personnel operated. All aspects of sales personnel management, including leave management, attendance, and other responsibilities, were handled manually by these supervisors.
Solutions
At SalesJump, we studied and analyzed SNJ Group’s challenges and tailored our sales force automation solution to meet their specific needs. In addition to the standard software used by many FMCG businesses, we provided a customized solution designed specifically to align with the workflow practices of Tamil Nadu’s alcohol industry.
Implementation of SalesJump
To transform SNJ Group's traditional methods, which relied heavily on supervisors, SalesJump introduced a software solution designed to reduce manual processes and minimize human errors. A geo-fencing feature was implemented to track salespeople's visits, allowing their attendance to be recorded seamlessly based on location data. Additionally, the leave management feature enables sales personnel to apply for leave directly through the app.
Monitoring and Analyses
Salespeople can now directly record orders received and products dispatched. We also provided features like customized competitor analysis, allowing them to log which competitor's products are being marketed more and capture key information about these products. During each visit, salespeople can document their marketing activities by uploading photos through the application.
Outcomes and Impact
The implementation of SalesJump at SNJ Group brought significant improvements in operational efficiency and data accuracy. By automating attendance tracking, the company reduced its reliance on manual supervision and improved the accuracy of attendance records. The leave management feature streamlined processes, allowing salespeople to manage their schedules more independently. The ability to record orders, dispatches, and competitor information directly into the app increased data transparency, enabling more informed decision-making. Salespeople were able to capture and share real-time insights, such as product and marketing activity photos, which further enhanced competitor analysis. These features collectively contributed to improved sales management, operational efficiency, and reduced human error.
SalesJump’s Transformative Efforts

By integrating a tailored sales force automation system, SalesJump addresses the firm's unique challenges, reducing manual dependencies and empowering the sales team with intuitive tools for improved performance management.
