An electronics and appliances retailer wanted to enable field installation technicians to sell ancillary equipment in customers’ homes – turning a service call into an additional sales opportunity. Learn how this was achieved at scale in the below mobile payment case study.
Nexient helped equip the technicians with mobile payment technology tools to offer customers additional products, then complete the transaction during the service call. This included a recommendations engine that enabled technicians to collect associated product SKUs for potential up-sell before arriving at the customer’s home. For example, a big screen TV might be associated with an HDMI cable.
To complete transactions, Nexient integrated the client’s existing Android devices and field operations app with an external Ingenico card reader interface capable of reading both chip and standard payment cards. The integration entailed complex business logic and process flow mapping, and ultimately allowed verified credit card transactions to be processed correctly in compliance with industry standards.
The solution also enabled the client to track technician movement between work orders by capturing start and stop times and transit times, all integrated with core enterprise systems.
