Harpus Field Sales

Harpus Field Sales is a mobile sales module for wholesale and distribution businesses whose representatives work on the road. It is best suited to teams already managing customers, inventory, and orders in Harpus. Its strongest case is joining offline field work to sales workflows; its limitation is that it is not available on the Free or Starter plan.

Overview

The module combines route planning and recurring visit schedules with GPS check-ins, mobile ordering, payment collection, and commission workflows. Reps can browse products and customer records and create orders offline in the Progressive Web App, then sync once connectivity returns. That is useful for routes with unreliable coverage, while teams seeking only a route planner may find the wider Harpus sales system unnecessary.

Managers can assign recurring customer routes, generate planned visits, optimize stop order, and monitor completion. At customer check-in and checkout, the system records timestamped GPS coordinates and can compare them with registered addresses using configurable geofence rules. This gives teams a way to review whether visits occurred at expected locations, provided customer addresses and geofence settings are maintained carefully.

Key features

• Route planning: Choose basic nearest-neighbor optimization, OpenStreetMap real-road routing, or Google Maps routing with live traffic. Bring Your Own Key is supported. The choices cover simple planning through traffic-aware routing, but the more advanced options depend on third-party mapping services.
• Orders and payments: Reps can check real-time stock, submit orders for approval, convert approved orders to sales orders, and collect payments through a verification workflow. This connects field selling to order processing rather than leaving reps to relay requests separately.
• Commission management: Configurable rules, bonus tiers, and sales targets can be calculated automatically and sent for approval, making the module relevant to teams that need commissions tied to field sales activity.
• Integrations: Field Sales works with Harpus Sales Orders, Customers, Inventory, Invoicing, and Payroll, a practical fit for wholesalers already using those parts of the ERP.
• Security: Harpus uses TLS/SSL encryption in transit, securely hashed passwords, role-based access controls, and middleware-enforced tenant isolation.

Pricing

Harpus is freemium, with a Free plan at no cost and a 14-day trial on every plan. The trial provides full access to that tier's features and does not require a credit card to start. All plans include email support; the Free plan also includes support tickets.

The Free plan includes 1 user, 1 company, and 1 GB of storage, but not Field Sales. Starter costs $499 a month, or $399 / month billed annually, and includes 5 users, 1 company, and 15 GB of storage; it also does not include Field Sales. Those lower-cost tiers suit basic Harpus use, not teams that need this module.

Professional costs $749 a month, or $599 / month billed annually, with 15 users, 3 companies, and 100 GB of storage. Field Sales is an add-on, so its cost is additional. Enterprise costs $1,249 a month, or $999 / month billed annually, and includes 30 users, unlimited companies, 1000 GB of storage, and Field Sales. Choose Professional if its company and user limits fit and you want the module as an add-on; Enterprise makes more sense for larger or multi-company operations that need it included. The page also states that every plan starts with a 14-day trial.

Platforms

Field Sales runs on Android, iOS, and the web through a Progressive Web App with offline support, GPS tracking, and route optimization. The rest of Harpus works in mobile browsers and is optimized for desktop, so the field module is the mobile-focused part of a broader desktop-oriented ERP.

Who it's for

Harpus positions its ERP for wholesalers and distribution businesses. Field Sales is a strong fit for those companies when reps need to visit customers, confirm stock, place orders, and keep field activity connected to inventory, invoicing, and payroll. It is a weaker fit for a business needing only navigation or appointment scheduling, or for a team that cannot justify Professional or Enterprise pricing plus any Professional add-on cost.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Offline product and customer access plus order creation helps reps keep working through connectivity gaps.
• Pro: Routing choices include real-road and live-traffic options, while recurring beats and visit completion give managers planning and follow-up tools.
• Pro: Stock checks, order approvals, payment verification, and commission approvals connect field selling to operational workflows.
• Con: Field Sales is absent from Free and Starter, and Professional buyers must pay for it as an add-on.
• Con: The module is designed around Harpus wholesale workflows, making it less compelling for organizations that only need standalone route management.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison of route-planning tools, see Route Planning Software.

• Timemoz is a freemium alternative with a free plan for time tracking; its Free plan has a 2-seat minimum and unlimited users and projects, with screenshots limited to 640×360 and retained for 7 days.
• SalesRoute.ai may suit teams focused on order and invoice management, analytics, purchasing, inventory, and expenses; its free plan includes those capabilities.
• Badger Maps offers a 14-day free plan with its Business feature set, route optimization up to 120 stops, and native iOS and Android apps, making it an option for teams prioritizing mapped routes.
• GraphHopper is an option for teams evaluating a routing engine: its commercial APIs are built on the open-source GraphHopper routing engine and jsprit.
• Moovit provides free transit planning, real-time information, and directions; choose it for transit journeys rather than wholesale field-sales workflows.
• SalesRabbit Appointment Management has a free single-user Lite plan with limited core features and no full team management, so it may suit an individual with modest appointment needs.
• Route4Me has a free plan capped at 10 stops with routes saved for 7 days, plus a $9.99 per month plan with unlimited stops; it is worth considering when route limits and price are the main concern.
• Citymapper offers free journey planning with ads and a $1.49 per month ad-free CLUB plan, a fit for personal journey planning rather than sales operations.

Verdict

Choose Harpus Field Sales if you run a wholesale or distribution operation in Harpus and need offline-capable reps, visit oversight, order handling, and commissions connected to back-office workflows. Its main advantage is that breadth of integration; look elsewhere if you need a standalone route planner or cannot accommodate Professional add-on pricing or Enterprise costs.
