The Sales Rep app is an iPhone-based solution that allows the medical representatives to keep track of
the transit and delivery of packages. The app combines the robust crowd-sourced GPS functionality and
integration of BLE technology. It fuses the use of ‘smart objects’ (tags, labels, beacons…) to create an
interactive supply chain.
Thus it offers end-to- end traceability - all the way from factory floor to hospital operation theatres!
