Here is a brief overview of the solutions currently available on the market and why it is worth taking a closer look.

In brick-and-mortar retail, personal advice is often decisive for the actual purchase. Today's customers expect not only friendliness but also expertise, speed and transparency. Mobile consulting tools offer sales teams the digital support they need to meet these expectations. The selection on the market is large and extremely varied.
