Alice

Un app ordinamento generico che utilizza SMS per inviare gli ordini alla sede principale

Alice is a generic products ordering app that uses SMS to send orders from clients to the main office. The app was created to address issues of documentation, response time, and mobile internet availability in certain areas where clients are located. Its simple user interface enables roving agents to accurately receive orders from customers, and immediately send these to be fulfilled by the main office. The SMS Alice generates are in the form of compact quantity-item code pairs, which is well suited for the 160 character limit. Sending orders via SMS is much more reliable than using mobile data, which may not be available in some remote areas, or whose signal may be too weak to be efficiently used. An added benefit of using SMS is documentation of client orders, so mistakes can be avoided making products delivered to the customers are what they specified.

This app is intended for companies, which employ agents, who are deployed to remote areas to receive client orders. The app also assumes that the organisation using this has clients codes, and item codes for each customer, and SKU, respectively.
