March 31, 2009—Quofore, the world’s leading provider of mobile sales force automation solutions for retail execution, announced today that The Inventure Group, leading snack food manufacturer of Intensely Different™ specialty brands, is live with Quofore's solution in an on demand environment. The company is using the software to maximize direct store deliveries (DSD) with applications for tracking merchandising results, promotion compliance and competitive activity, all integrated with route accounting.

Running on rugged mobile Windows-based handheld devices, Quofore replaces a previously manual process. It provides The Inventure Group with a technology platform to allow its 50 Independent Operators (IOs) to effectively manage their delivery routes to sell, deliver and invoice customers including exchanging invoice information via DEX at the store level. The IOs leverage Quofore’s mobile platform to manage start-of-day and end-of-day processes, plan their visits and execute in-store audits; and the company’s management team uses the Quofore technology for immediate access to product brand and competitive field information.

“Quofore's mobile solutions help us run our business better,” said Tim Bateman, vice president of sales for The Inventure Group. “Our direct store delivery strategy means we need a solid technology solution for our IOs, basically our mobile sales team that is paid on commissions, to plan their routes efficiently, interact with our customers and ultimately drive revenue.”

“Quofore’s next generation DSD mobile solutions provide a strategic weapon for companies like The Inventure Group who need to better manage resources in the field and have immediate insight to store-level activities,” said Harris Fogel, president of Quofore, Americas. “We look forward to helping the company improve productivity and gain additional benefits.”
