Neev transformed a slow, paper-based order-taking process for Hershey’s Mexico (www.hersheys.com) into a quick and easy mobile based system which drastically improved the productivity of field salesmen and made the order management process highly responsive and efficient.

The Client

The Hershey Company is the largest chocolate manufacturer in North America. Hershey's products are sold worldwide. Neev delivered an innovative mobile-based solution for Hershey’s Mexico.

Business Need

In Hershey’s Mexico, sales people used to collect orders for new sales on paper. This led to a long turnaround time. Besides, sales people could not carry laptops as there was a high risk of laptops getting stolen. Most stores in Mexico did not allow sales people to enter their stores with laptops. Hershey’s needed a mobile application for taking and tracking orders that would run perfectly on Blackberry and iPhone devices.

Neev Solution

The solution had the core features of a web-based order management system that could run perfectly on Blackberry and iPhone browsers. Neev developed the UI for the mobile website. The application was programmed to interact with SAP backend through a wrapper. Neev used simulators and real mobile devices to run an extensive set of tests on the mobile website.
