Maxidor: Eliminating Manual Workarounds with Mobile-to-System Integration
Maxidor is a safety and security solutions provider operating through a franchise dealer network. Field sales representatives visit customer locations to take orders that need to flow seamlessly into the company’s manufacturing processes.
The Challenge
Mobile Disconnect Slowing Orders
Maxidor faced a critical bottleneck that was hampering their entire operation:
Dramatic Time Savings
- Mobile devices couldn’t communicate with the legacy on-premise order management system
- Field sales reps unable to enter orders directly from customer locations
- Manufacturing delays as orders sat in limbo waiting for manual processing
The Expensive Workaround
- 6 dedicated employees manually capturing and entering order information
- Slow, error-prone process that frustrated customers and sales teams
- Delayed manufacturing start times instead of beginning production immediately after customer visits
IT Manager's Frustration
“Prior to Flowgear, I was pulling my hair out. I did not know how to speed up our business processes. The database took too long and people were complaining about orders,” said Yasheen Partab, IT Manager.
Perfect Fit for Non-IT Companies
“Here at Maxidor we are not an IT company, but we are tech savvy and so it was an enormous benefit to be able to create a solution that perfectly fits our needs without having to do any technical coding or programming,” explained Partab.
