BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am working as General Manager for Mtek Hygiene Limited. We are engaged in manufacturing and marketing of Baby Diapers, Adult Diapers, Wipes and related accessories in Pakistan. We have a Sales & Distribution Channel spread in over 200 towns of the country.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Allomate Solutions, and what were your goals?

We were not able to track working of our sales team as well as entire ordering process was manually handled (whats-app etc).

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

When looking for a strategic IT-partner for the development of sales software at Mtek Hygiene Private Limited, we met different firms who have developed and implemented their software (app) in Paksitani FMCG market. We also visited their customers and gained some market intelligence. Generally the apps were meeting the requirements of the principal/parent company, the only limitation was flexibility and quick resolution to daily issues.

We found Allomate Solutions has good repute in the industry. Though their clientele was limited and their app was deployed in few FMCGs. Two of these FMCGs were our group companies who were happy with the software and services.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We joined hands with Allomate Solutions, in December 2021, and divided our entire project into two parts. The first part was mainly field force order management and productivity till supervisor level. This part has successfully been deployed and we just moved to the second part which comprised of secondary sales recording and bringing sales rep level in the total picture.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

03 resources worked directly with our team, besides their back-end team of developers. These 03 resources include CEO Wakas himself.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

So far it has been a wonderful experience with Allomate Solutions, resulting in two-way learning. We have modified processes for ordering and end pricing with their help. The first part is successfully implemented and we have kicked off general trade outlets tagging for the second part. We have recommended them strongly within our circles and would recommend at this platform as well.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They are always one phone-call or text message away.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Easy access and two-way communication to address any issue or roll out new features.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Not that we have come across.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of Danpak Food Industries. We manufacture confections, specifically bubble gum, candies, and chocolates. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Allomate Solutions?

We have a network of 200 distributors in Pakistan. Our objective was to build a system that could track the salespeople going to shops and collecting orders for the warehouses and track products from those warehouses to the stores.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They developed our solution in the form of an Android app. It tracks our sales team and distribution network. We can give targets to salespeople and perform evaluations at an individual level. We have roughly 200 people using the app, and all the data is being stored on a cloud server.

When we started the project, we had a narrow scope for Allomate Solutions, but we’ve extended the scope to include employee attendance tracking, warehouse auditing, and accounting. We can check the attendance and productivity of employees and make sure they’re meeting their daily targets, which are broken down into volumes, products, and brands. Our team can thus determine what products we’re lagging behind on and which ones we need to push for the season. Team members can also share their stats and compete every month.

They delivered the first part of the project, but we identified more functionalities to add after that. We’re currently developing the second version of the product.

What is the team composition?

They have a small team. I’ve spoken with their founder/CEO, who served as team leader. I’ve also been in contact with two developers and the person who was in charge of on-site implementation and training. They have a staff of 5–6 people on the development side.

How did you come to work with Allomate Solutions?

This is the only company of this kind that I’ve worked with. I got a bid from two other groups, but I didn’t feel comfortable working with them.

How much have you invested with them?

The upfront fee was two million Pakistani rupees (approximately $14,400 USD). We paid them again upfront for the second development project, and we also pay $300–$400 per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Allomate Solutions around January 2018, and they’re still onboard.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since we started working with them, my company has gone from a manual to a digital solution. The software works fine so far. Allomate Solutions delivered exactly what we needed for our sales team.

How did Allomate Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

A couple of deadlines were missed. The delivery was supposed to be on June 30, and they finished around July 15–20. 

They’re excellent in terms of communication. They keep up with emails and schedule calls and video conferences, and they’ve given us detailed reports of the field implementation. 

They’ve also trained our team free of charge on how to interpret the data being logged on the system and what KPIs we need to keep, which was exceedingly helpful. Allomate Solutions has done a good job of teaching us how things should be done and how we can take advantage of the potential of the software at its maximum.

They’re a young company, and they’ve been helpful to us so far. They’ve been flexible in making the changes we wanted, even when not initially specified.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They set an objective for themselves to improve the performance of our sales team. They made presentations and data analyses for this purpose and presented the data in an understandable fashion for even our lowest-ranking team members.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t say that there's anything Allomate Solutions should improve.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Allomate Solutions has great communication skills, so if the client can tell them what they need, they’ll deliver properly.
