Ask Me Anything [Slack Integration App]

Give your mobile sales team the information tool they’ve been dreaming about with Ask Me Anything for Sage 100. Offering instant answers about orders, quantities, and more, this handy app literally tells you everything you want to know – and doesn’t require a costly Sage user license to run.

Want Inventory Info? Just Ask.

In today’s on-demand world, backordered items may very well lose your team a sale because prospects often won’t sign unless they can ensure fast delivery. Unfortunately, the inventory-checking process adds extra time to the sales cycle, and prospects may cool off—or find another vendor—while your salesperson tries to track down item availability.

Empower your employees with up-to-date information delivered in a simple, question-and-answer format through the popular office productivity tool, Slack. All your salesperson has to do is speak a question into their phone and the Ask Me Anything chatbot will tell them everything they want to know – by accessing real-time data straight from your Sage 100 system.

Use Natural Search Terms, Powered by Voice

Other marketplace products in the past may have come close to the convenience of Ask Me Anything, but busy salespeople using those products would’ve been frustrated by rigid search terms that required specifically-worded information look up that was about as intuitive as typing commands into DOS.

Your team works hard enough on sales and they’re good at talking to people. They shouldn’t also have to speak machine languages. That’s why Ask Me Anything provides natural language search queries, just like the AI your team already uses daily from Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, or the Google Assistant.

With Ask Me Anything from Walpole, searching for inventory is as easy as asking, “What’s the status of order 1234?” or, “How many red metal table lamps do we have in stock right now?”

Information that’s available only at your fingertips was the hallmark of the past. Your team deserves to perform well in the future with Ask Me Anything, the voice-activated software that answers your Sage 100 queries fast.

Real-Time Data, Anywhere and Any Time

Lean or Just-In-Time operations (JIT) carry less stock on hand then their make-to-stock counterparts, but both models face similar challenges in meeting demand for popular items. At busy buying times such as tradeshows, the holidays, or the beginnings of quarters, your mobile sales team is likely to overpromise and under-deliver inventory availability, which is a sure way to turn a new customer into an angry ex-customer.

Avoid inventory mishaps with real-time data from your Sage 100 ERP, including instant order status lookup, inventory quantities on hand, and more – available anytime and anywhere from your smartphone.

Extra Affordable with No Costly Learning Curve

New software often looks great in the sales pitch, but when it comes time for your staff to use it, they find that the software is unintuitive. Training takes time and careful labor coordination – resulting in too many productive hours lost. Luckily, Ask Me Anything is easy to learn and use, with most users reporting instant adoption effortlessly.

If your staff knows how to text message or speak commands to their phones, they already know how to use Ask Me Anything. No training required!

And your cost savings won’t only come in the form of reduced training. Ask Me Anything doesn’t need a Sage user license to operate, and saves you extra money by leveraging the power of Slack, the completely free productivity software for businesses. Lowering your costs while increasing your efficiency is a sure formula for fast ROI.
