Five summers of door-to-door sales tech that shipped 1M+ contracts
iPad sales-and-knocking app, executive dashboards, demographics analysis, and consumer iOS/Android apps for one of the largest summer sales operations in North America.
Aptive runs one of the largest summer sales operations in North America — thousands of representatives, dozens of branches, paper contracts that needed to become digital without slowing the team down. We were the engineering team that made that transition real and ran it for five consecutive summers.
The iPad sales-and-knocking app sat at the center: GPS-aware territory mapping, photo capture for property notes, route scheduling, instant contract execution. Every interaction synced to AWS-backed dashboards that let the executive team see the field in near real-time.
Beyond the field tooling, we shipped consumer iOS and Android apps for end customers, integrated demographics analysis to prioritize the highest-value neighborhoods, and built the reporting layer the leadership team used to plan each summer's deployment.
- + kept: iPad-first field UX- cut: Hybrid web app for reps// why: Bandwidth in suburban front yards is thin. Native iPad with offline-first sync was the only design that actually held up.
- + kept: Server-side commission logic- cut: Client-side calc with sync later// why: Commissions are how reps get paid. They had to be authoritative on the server, not reconciled after-the-fact.
- + kept: Real-time ops dashboards- cut: Nightly batch reports// why: The executive team made deployment calls during the day. Yesterday's data was the wrong tool.
