The Mobile Office: How We Gave Sales Teams Their Superpower
What We Delivered
When Sales and Marketing Speak Different Languages
When Swaggerty’s CMO John Gladney approached us through their Director of Sales, we encountered a challenge common in the food manufacturing and CPG industry: the disconnect between marketing teams creating product information and sales representatives who needed to access it in the field. The pain points were significant:
- Critical product information trapped in static PDFs and spreadsheets that quickly became outdated
- Sales teams using inconsistent or outdated spec sheets and sell sheets that could derail potential deals
- Brokers and distributors lacking immediate access to accurate product information during purchasing decisions
- Marketing teams losing control of brand messaging and product specifications once materials left their department
We recognized an opportunity to transform how CPG brands manage their product information ecosystem.


Building the Swiss Army Knife 
of Sales Tools
Rather than creating just another catalog app, we engineered The Mobile Office as a comprehensive, real-time product information system:
- We built dynamic document generation that creates spec sheets and sell sheets in real-time, eliminating outdated information
- We developed an announcement dashboard that ensures critical updates reach sales channels immediately
- We created hierarchical product organization systems that mirror how CPG buyers actually make purchasing decisions
- We designed mobile-first experiences that work seamlessly in face-to-face sales situations
Share Spec Sheets, Inventory and
Information with the person in front of you.
Then just close the sale.
Under the Hood: The Tech That 
Makes Magic Happen
The Mobile Office represents significant technical achievement in several key areas:
- Real-Time Document Generation: We engineered a system that dynamically generates PDFs with current product information at the moment they’re requested
- Mobile App Development: We created native iOS and Android apps available 
through their respective app stores with enterprise-grade security
- Hierarchical Data Structures: We built product data models that accurately represent the complex relationships in CPG product catalogs
- Shareable Links: We developed a system allowing instant sharing of product information via text messages during sales meetings
- Custom Integration: We created pathways for product information to flow automatically from internal systems to the sales channel
