Minecart for rep agencies
Give suppliers the insights they need to scale your relationship.
Reps drive billions in aftermarket sales on relationships and expertise alone. Every conversation throws off intel your vendors need, what’s actually moving, but it never makes it back because logging it by hand was never realistic. Minecart captures that activity automatically and gets it to each vendor line, no manual work. Same hustle, now visible: stronger partnerships, broader coverage, a real edge over the competition.

Running a more effective sales force
There are a lot of priorities to track. Minecart makes them visible.
Every rep on your team is juggling priorities across a dozen lines at once. Which accounts need a follow-up, which installer is about to walk, which vendor wants numbers by Friday. Right now all of that lives in someone’s head, or scrawled in a notebook in the truck.
Minecart doesn’t ask your team to track anything differently. It takes the notes reps are already capturing and sorts them, what needs attention this week, what’s slipping, what a vendor actually asked for, so the priority list builds itself.
Managers stop guessing what’s urgent. Reps stop carrying every account in their head. Nothing falls through the cracks between one stop and the next.
Impress all of your stakeholders
The same notes pay everyone.
One capture in the field comes back as proof for the vendor, the WD, the sales manager, and the rep who made the call.
Suppliers / Principals
Touches get logged against the line they mention: the trade-show conversation, the counter visit, the rebate question. When a vendor wonders what their check is buying, you hand them the proof.
- More territory from 'show me' vendors
- Fewer house accounts, fewer areas off-limits
- Quality issues surfaced before the warranty pile
Distribution partners
Blitz days and ride-alongs get their own recap: who you saw, what you found, which leads you're handing off. Distributors remember who showed up prepared, and who didn't.
- The WD recommends you by name
- Leads tracked from handoff to opening order
- Blitz recaps that cost you nothing to send
Sales managers
Every rep's field work rolls up in one place, so managers see the week as it happens instead of piecing it together on Friday. Walk into any vendor call with receipts instead of recollections.
- The whole team's day, without the phone-around
- Campaigns deployed and verified, not just announced
- QBR packs that build themselves
Sales reps
They talk instead of type. One voice note in the truck replaces the Sunday-night CRM catch-up, and the same system points their day at the right doors, briefed before every handshake.
- One button, no fields, works offline
- The day planned around the right accounts
- Every past conversation riding along
How it works
A single button to build vendor-ready intelligence.
Works offline, in the truck, at the counter, on a trade-show floor. The rep talks once; the report writes itself and waits for your sign-off.
One voice note
After the call, the counter visit, the booth. No fields, no account to pick.
Every line sorted
Five brands in one breath, each mention filed to its line, account, and contact.
You approve it
Report Studio holds every report until you’ve reviewed, edited, and signed off.
Proof goes out
The vendor report up, the blitz recap back to the WD, and you see when each gets opened.
“I didn’t know a single button could change my business.”
What you can pull
Your team already said it. Now you can pull it up.
Every field note your reps already leave behind, sorted into what a vendor, a distributor, or you would actually act on.
Line attention
See which lines are getting calls and which ones a rep forgot they even carry. Ten blockbuster lines beat a hundred nobody's selling.
Coverage verification
One call per vendor, per month, is the floor. See which accounts have slipped past cadence before the vendor asks what happened.
Campaign and promo feedback
Did the display go up? Is the counter confused about the rebate? Hear it from the same visit, not next quarter's spreadsheet.
Leads and opportunities
A note about a stalled deal becomes a tracked opportunity, from lost lead to opening order to current customer.
QBR packs
Walk into any vendor call with the touches, the issues, and the opportunities already pulled. Not a blank legal pad.
Renewal radar
See which lines are up for renewal this year, and which relationships need extra attention before that conversation happens.
See a real report
Easier capture for better results.
Agencies switching off a standard CRM see reps log 5x the notes with 2x the detail, without changing how reps work. One counter visit might touch four different lines. Minecart sorts and tags it automatically, rolling each insight up to the right vendor, so nobody’s writing four separate notes to get four lines covered.
