Simplicity
How a customer visit works with UppSales
1. Open the app and pick the brand
Launch the app and select the brand. Every product imported from Excel is in the catalog. If you've uploaded that brand's PDF, it's available too.
2. Pick the customer
Open the Orders section, start a new order and select the customer. From that moment the system loads all their commercial terms, custom prices, lists and discounts, and applies them automatically to every product you drop in the cart.
3. Add products to the cart
From the in-app catalog or by tapping directly on the PDF pages. Prices and discounts are already applied — you can mix both methods in the same order.
4. Confirm and send
One tap: the brand gets the confirmation, the customer (if set up) gets their copy. Before you even walk out the door.
The solution
One app for every brand you carry
UppSales is the only app built specifically for multi-brand field sales reps: every brand gets its own space, prices apply on their own, and the order goes out before you walk out the door.
Step 1
Your Excel price list becomes a digital catalog
Upload your Excel price list. In seconds it turns into a browsable catalog with products, base prices and categories. Repeat for every brand: each one gets its own space.
- Automatic Excel column recognition
- Mapping saved for future updates
- No limit on products or brands
Step 2
Tap the codes inside the brand's PDF catalog
This is the feature that changes everything: upload the brand's PDF catalog into the app. The system automatically recognizes product codes and links them to the catalog. During the visit, you tap the code on the PDF and the product drops into the cart — already discounted for that customer.
- No more retyping product codes
- Automatic product recognition inside the PDF
- Works with any brand's PDF catalog
Step 3
The right price applied automatically
Set up each customer's discounts for each brand once. From that point on, the system applies the correct price to every product added to the cart. Zero manual math, zero pricing errors.
- Discounts by customer, category or brand
- Multiple price lists by customer segment
- One-off line overrides without touching the rules
The problem
How many hours do you lose every week retyping orders?
Field sales reps lose on average 45–60 minutes a day retyping orders from their notepad into Excel, hunting product codes between PDFs and spreadsheets, and fixing pricing mistakes that should never have happened.
More brands, more chaos
Different price lists per brand, customer discounts that change, paper or PDF catalogs scattered everywhere. Handling it all manually means risking errors on every order.
The PDF catalog is a wall
You see the product in the brand's PDF, write down the code, then retype it into the order one by one. For every product. Every visit. Every day.
You start over every evening
Notes on your phone, scraps of paper, spreadsheets to fill out at home. The real work starts after the visit, when you should already be done.
