Abstract: A new sales system, utilising wireless technologies and mobile devices, which aims to provide companies with centralised applications to reduce cost and increase profits, is proposed. The system allows an administrator to control payment processes, monitor daily transactions, item handing and picking as well as selling procedures carried out by sales persons. The system is anticipated to save efforts, time and resources and is expected to be resilient to change and adaptation. A feasibility study conducted to arrive at a better understanding of the system performance revealed its suitability as an efficient business procedure with relevant modifications and changes that need to be addressed as appropriate.

Keywords: mobile business; wireless sales; hand-held devices; business sales transactions; m-business.
