AFFLINK is currently in the process of developing a detailed facility audit that packaging distributors can use to collect product usage data from national account or local end user customers. Our long term goal is to web enable the audit tool for real time data. This information is critical to our ability to document and recommend continuous improvement activities. SalesTracker is a sales management tool that will allow DSRs and management to document and measure sales leads. Once again, this tool is very important to the success of AFFLINK National Accounts. AFFLINK can monitor and provide documentation of the activities and savings to NA HQ.
