Summary
Sales Management Android App is the mobile companion of the Sales Management System built for CV Saldam. This app enables both business owners and field sales representatives to manage daily sales operations efficiently — whether online or offline.
Owners can monitor transactions and stock activities in real-time, while sales staff can record transactions directly from the field. The app synchronizes data automatically when the device reconnects to the internet and uses GPS tracking and store photo validation to prevent fraudulent activity.
Problem
Previously, sales operations relied heavily on manual reporting and periodic synchronization with desktop systems. This caused:
- Delays in data consolidation and transaction visibility for management.
- Risk of fraud (fake transactions or visits) due to lack of location verification.
- Inconsistent inventory updates between central warehouse and field stock.
- Difficulty managing offline transactions in remote areas with unstable connectivity.
Goal / Use Case
- Allow sales representatives to create and manage transactions offline, syncing automatically once connected.
- Enable business owners to monitor live sales performance and inventory movement from anywhere.
- Record GPS coordinates and store photos for each transaction as anti-fraud measures.
- Provide seamless thermal printer integration via Bluetooth for instant receipt printing.
- Offer lightweight and intuitive UI to ensure usability even on low-end Android devices.
Impact
- Significantly improved transparency and accountability of sales operations.
- Reduced potential fraud cases by validating field visits through GPS and photo evidence.
- Increased operational efficiency through real-time stock and transaction synchronization.
- Supported both online and offline workflows, ensuring uninterrupted productivity for sales teams.
- Enhanced management insights with instant data updates across all branches.
Development Duration
Developed over 2 months, from prototype to deployment. The project was built using Java with Firebase Realtime Database and local SQLite caching, supporting both online/offline modes. It also integrated Google Maps Platform for GPS tracking and store visualization, along with Bluetooth thermal printer support for instant receipt printing.
