Data Volume

The communication between the DeDeSales Client and the server requires corresponding data volume. We generally recommend using a flat-rate tariff for tablets to operate a tablet in the public mobile communication network. Below you will find an overview of what consumes the data volume:

Type Volume
Operating system updates Not determinable by DeDeNet
E-mails Not determinable by DeDeNet
Other applications such as VPN, browser, YouTube, ... Not determinable by DeDeNet
DeDeSales / Product pictures Not determinable by DeDeNet
DeDeSales / Agent files Not determinable by DeDeNet
DeDeSales / Customer files Not determinable by DeDeNet
DeDeSales / Photos taken during the visit by the Sales rep. Not determinable by DeDeNet
DeDeSales updates 100-250 MB per update
DeDeSales / Transmission of an ORDER with 100 items 9 KB per ORDER
DeDeSales / Average retrieval of master data for 33,000 customers and 2,000 items (including prices, Delivery Addresses, … ) 60 MB per day

As you can see, the data volume strongly depends on your data provision and the working method of the field service. Additionally, consumption arises from the simple use of the tablet. This accounts for the largest share compared to the estimated sizes of ORDER transmission and data updating.

Experiences from various customers have shown that the following framework parameters are sensible:

  1. Flat-rate tariff
  2. High-speed volume: 2 GB per month
