With the rapid expansion of mobile devices, enterprises everywhere are being dramatically impacted by the new wave of mobile technology. VAI’s mobile solutions turn ordinary smartphones into powerful business tools that can help improve efficiencies, enhance customer service, and increase sales.

They are specifically designed for smaller handheld displays and a touch-screen interface and can easily access the native functions of the mobile device, such as the camera. With S2K Mobile, foodservice distributors can easily enter orders, track updates, and make decisions in real-time on their mobile phone, even offline.

“I’m excited to join some of the top experts in our industry at IFDA’s DSC to discuss the state of mobile innovation and adoption,” said Joe Scioscia, VP of Sales, VAI. “During my session, I will showcase VAI’s S2K Mobile Suite and highlight Proof of Delivery (POD) and Route Sales applications specifically. I will explain how companies can use these applications on mobile devices for confirming orders, processing returns and payments, and capturing signatures and photos.”

Key takeaways from Scioscia’s presentation will include tips on how to:

• Manage truck inventory more effectively
• Leverage mobile devices to capture signatures and photos
