What drives the cost of a field sales app
For distributors and traders, the app's job is to get orders and visit reports from the field into the office without phone calls. It has to work on patchy networks, record location at each check-in and send orders straight to Tally or your ERP.
The estimate starts from 15 screens: login, today's route, party list, party detail, new order, product picker, order history, check-in, visit report, attendance, expenses and sync status screens. It comes to ₹3.6–9.5 lakh over about 8–17 weeks.

FAQ
Questions
How much does a field sales app cost in India?
About ₹3.6–9.5 lakh for a 15-screen app on Android and iPhone with login, offline mode, GPS check-ins, one integration with Tally or an ERP, and an admin panel for the office.
How long does it take to build a salesman app?
About 8–17 weeks, which is about 2–4 months, with a team of 2–4 people. Offline sync and the Tally or ERP link need testing with real orders before the whole team uses it.
Can the app send orders straight to Tally?
Yes. An integration with Tally, a CRM or an ERP adds ₹20,000–₹60,000 here. How it connects depends on your Tally setup, so that is confirmed while scoping.
Does a field app need to work offline?
In markets, godowns and highways with weak signal, yes. Offline mode keeps orders and visits on the phone and syncs them later. It adds ₹43,800–₹1.09 lakh to this estimate.
Is Android enough for a field team?
Usually, since you choose the phones your staff carry. The same app on Android alone comes to about ₹3.4–8.9 lakh.
