In just over 4 months, American Beverage built an entire suite of Enterprise Resource Planning apps using MobileFrame to reimagine and replace their previous ERP and CRM systems.

MobileFrame announces that American Beverage Systems (AMBEV) has successfully used MobileFrame to reimagine and replace their prior ERP and CRM systems. For over 30 years, AMBEV has been a leading provider of service, installation, and design consulting on a wide range of beverage systems, from fountain drinks to beer and juice equipment and even ice machines.  AMBEV is a trusted partner by manufacturers and resellers all over the United States, and has been named one of the top partners in the country contracted by Coca-Cola.

AMBEV’s previous backend systems weren’t integrated and employees were forced to log into several different systems to complete their work; moreover, the systems couldn’t accommodate making changes to their apps as requirements evolved.  Recognizing that their business hinges on providing customer service in the most efficient manner, AMBEV sought to digitally transform their organization by combining all of their disparate systems into a single user friendly system. Their goal was complete modernization of their operations holistically, from the back office to the point of deployment of the beverage systems themselves.

AMBEV purchased MobileFrame’s ready-to-run Field Service Solution to get them underway quickly, then began their expansion.  Within 4 months, Amanda Weldy (Operations Manager at American Beverages) built an entire ERP suite of apps that met their needs perfectly and were fully integrated across all departments.  Using MobileFrame, AMBEV has been constantly innovating and deploying apps across the entire organization, including:

• Dispatch & Work Orders
• HR Apps (timekeeping, training, expenses, etc)
• Sales CRM
• Project Billing & Review
• Inventory Tracking & Ordering
• IT Help Desk
• Warehouse Management
• Accident Reports
• AC/Refrigeration Servicing
• Employee & Management Portals
• And more

AMBEV’s MobileFrame-based ERP system has significantly reduced costly overstocks and return trips to the warehouse for resupply by ensuring that trucks are stocked efficiently with parts and equipment.  Field technicians now have mobile apps with real-time data, so they can provide even higher levels of customer satisfaction with greater efficiency. The companies timesheets now use both GPS tracking and timestamps, dramatically improving their service margins.  AMBEV has reduced costly on-hand inventory by 35% and cut their data use by 50%, all while keeping their trucks fully stocked effectively.

“As a business analyst, I thrive on solving business challenges that impact the efficiency of the company. I’d much rather solve problems that drive immediate revenue to the bottom line than write code for months at a time. MobileFrame offers cross-platform support, so we were able to write the apps without worrying about managing separate code bases for different operating systems. Our apps just work; that’s the key to our success. This project is a huge success due to the control of processes.“ – Amanda Weldy, AMBEV Operations Manager

“AMBEV is a perfect example of business using technological innovation to reimagine their business to drive ROI and customer satisfaction to new levels. MobileFrame provides a code-free platform that enables customers to focus on delivering immediate value, without the distraction of coding projects that can drag on forever using conventional SDKs and technologies.“ – Lonny Oswalt, MobileFrame CEO
