Offline van sales

Mobile sales operations that work without connectivity

Published: 2025-12-20 By: Predictiv

Mobile sales operations that work without connectivity. This guide covers offline-first architecture, data synchronization, route planning, and more.

Offline-first architecture

Architecture


graph LR

subgraph "Predictiv App"

RN[React Native Core]

AD[Application Dictionary]

RN --> AD

end

subgraph "UI Rendering"

AD --> MW[Mobile Windows]

AD --> FW[Forms]

AD --> DW[Dashboards]

end

subgraph "Data Layer"

MW --> API[REST API]

FW --> API

DW --> API

API --> OB[Openbravo Backend]

end

The same Application Dictionary that drives desktop windows also drives mobile UI. ### Dashboard Architecture


graph TB

subgraph "Dashboard"

KPI1[KPIs]

CHART1[Charts]

GRID1[Grids]

end

subgraph "Data Sources"

MV[Materialized Views]

RT[Real-time Queries]

EXT[External Data]

end

KPI1 --> MV

CHART1 --> MV

GRID1 --> RT

Pillar 3: Intelligent Automation

Workflow Engine

Documents flow through defined states with automatic transitions:


stateDiagram-v2

[*] --> Draft

Draft --> Submitted: Submit

Submitted --> Approved: Approve

Submitted --> Rejected: Reject

Approved --> Processing: Process

Processing --> Complete: Complete

Rejected --> Draft: Revise

Complete --> [*]

Each transition can:

  • Check preconditions (is budget available.

Data synchronization

Architecture


graph LR

subgraph "Predictiv App"

RN[React Native Core]

AD[Application Dictionary]

RN --> AD

end

subgraph "UI Rendering"

AD --> MW[Mobile Windows]

AD --> FW[Forms]

AD --> DW[Dashboards]

end

subgraph "Data Layer"

MW --> API[REST API]

FW --> API

DW --> API

API --> OB[Openbravo Backend]

end

The same Application Dictionary that drives desktop windows also drives mobile UI. One metadata source, multiple presentation layers. Focused Data Entry: Simple forms for quick data capture (stocktake, time entry)

2. Quick Edit: Update a few fields across many records (price updates, status changes)

Pillar 2: Real-Time Analytics

The Problem with Traditional Reporting

Traditional ERP reporting:

  • Runs overnight batches
  • Generates PDFs nobody reads
  • Requires IT to create new reports
  • Shows what happened last month

Predictiv analytics:

  • Updates in real-time
  • Embeds in workflows
  • Self-service configuration
  • Shows what's happening now

Materialized View Pattern

For large datasets (100k+ records), Predictiv uses a hybrid approach:

```sql

-- Materialized view: Fast, pre-computed, refreshed daily

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_sales_summary AS

SELECT. FROM orders WHERE order_date < CURRENT_DATE;

-- Union view: Combines historical + today's data

CREATE VIEW v_sales_summary AS

SELECT * FROM mv_sales_summary

UNION ALL

SELECT.

Route planning

Route planning is a core capability within Predictiv, designed to streamline operations and improve visibility. The implementation follows best practices while remaining configurable to meet your organization's specific needs.

Inventory management on van

)

  • Execute actions (reserve inventory)
  • Send notifications (alert approver)
  • Update related records (create receipt)

Cash and payment handling

Cash and payment handling is a core capability within Predictiv, designed to streamline operations and improve visibility. The implementation follows best practices while remaining configurable to meet your organization's specific needs.

Getting Started

To implement offline van sales in your Predictiv environment:

1. Assess your current state - Review existing processes and identify improvement opportunities

2. Configure the module - Work with your implementation team to set up the required components

3. Train your team - Ensure users understand the new capabilities and workflows

4. Monitor and optimize - Track key metrics and continuously improve
