Management
Manage your sales agents as partners.
Catalogue, orders, visit reports, objectives, coordination: everything that keeps a network of independent sales agents running, brought together in one tool. A tool your agents use with you, because it is useful to them too.
In the tool
What you do in Karavane
Your agents, and what each one covers
The list of your agents with their territory, their orders and their revenue, and the map of what your network already covers. On an agent’s page: their revenue over twelve months, their best products, and the customers who have not reordered in three months.
- Propose a commission or a territory; the agent accepts or declines
- A log of exchanges shared with each agent
- An agent does not want to use the tool? You enter the data for them
Preview of your Karavane space, with demo data. Your offer and orders
Your catalogue syncs automatically to your agents, prices and photos included. The orders they take reach you with their order form, and you track revenue by agent, by customer and by month.
- Acknowledged, shipped, delivered: you mark each step, and the agent sees where their order stands
- An order received by phone? Enter it on behalf of your agent
- Your B2B online shop and your promotions
Preview of your Karavane space, with demo data. Field work, without chasing reports
Your agents write their visit reports in their own tool and tick the brands concerned: you receive your part, photos included. Shelf checks in supermarkets follow the same route.
Preview of your Karavane space, with demo data. Coordinate and energise your network
The Atlas, the map of your network, shows your customers and prospects, one colour per agent: revenue compared with the previous period, last action, customer interest. Challenges, documents, news and shared objectives keep the relationship alive.
Preview of your Karavane space, with demo data. A CRM your agents actually want to open
Each agent works in their own CRM: their customers, their orders, all their brands. For yours, they find their commission, their territory and how widely your products are stocked among their customers.

An agent is not an employee
A tool designed so that the agent gains from it too
A sales agent is an independent representative: they organise their work as they see fit, and they do not work under your authority. Karavane is built on that principle.
Their customers remain theirs
You only see the customers who have ordered your products or for whom a report concerns you. Their notes, their payment terms and the rest of their customer portfolio remain theirs.
They choose what to share
In a report, they tick the brands concerned: each one receives only its own part. Their calls, emails and notes are never shared.
They stay in charge of their own organisation
When you suggest a sales round, they set the date and adapt it. A task you give them lands in their list, which they manage. And nothing tracks their location.
They save time
A catalogue that is always up to date, orders sent without re-keying, a single report for all their brands: fewer spreadsheets, more time in the field.
And also
Your team
Invite your colleagues with an administrator, sales or accounting profile. A salesperson first sees the agents they are the contact for.
Agents without the tool
Create an agent who does not want to use the tool and enter their orders and reports yourself. If they change their mind, they find their full history.
Your data, on your side
The dashboard exports to an Excel file in one click.
Do your agents work with other brands?
That is the very nature of their job. Their CRM also exists as a standalone product: Kardinal, the software for multi-brand sales agents, developed by Karavane.
FAQ
Your questions about management
Do my agents have to use the tool?
No. You can create an agent “without the tool”: you enter their orders and reports, which count towards their results and their commissions. If they want to later, you open their access: they choose their password and find their full history.
How much does management cost?
It is included in the Regional and National plans. If you already have your agents and are not looking to recruit, management on its own starts from €99 per month excl. VAT, or €79 with an annual commitment. For a precise quote, request a demo.
What does a brand see of its agents’ customers?
Only the customers who have an order for your products or a report that concerns you, and only the information that is shared. The agent’s private notes, their payment terms and the rest of their customer portfolio are never shown to you.
Can my team work in it?
Yes: invite your colleagues with an administrator, sales or accounting profile. Your salespeople can also follow your direct customers, alongside those of your agents.
Does Karavane let me track my agents’ location?
No. The map shows customers, prospects and visits, never people. A sales agent is independent: the tool is there to share useful information, not to monitor.
