Customer Relationship Management (CRM) as a business strategy understands that customers are a company's greatest asset. Through establishing more effective customer relationships, companies decrease costs and increase customer satisfaction and profitability.
The Visibility ERP CRM suite maximizes the value of every customer interaction through its integrated approach that manages, synchronizes and coordinates every customer and potential customer interaction. In complex manufacturing, companies and their customers interact through every step of the process, from engaging the customer as a prospect all the way through to servicing the customer. Efficient sharing and management of these processes provides faster communication, improved customer support and enhanced customer loyalty.
The sales organization in every company directly impacts the overall business performance as it relates to revenue generation and margin attainment. Through Contact Management capabilities, Visibility ERP facilitates timely and coordinated management of leads, contacts and opportunities. Having the ability to configure and price complex quotations and sales orders, gather and review historical sales data, access information associated with customer related jobs and projects allows appropriate individuals to quote more quickly and accurately. Visibility ERP offers built-in Sales Force Automation capabilities via the use of its integrated Workflow automation engine. Support for detailed or extended sales and marketing campaigns can be further facilitated by leveraging the opportunity for integrated use of tools such as Salesforce.com or Microsoft CRM or Hubspot.
One key element of the Visibility ERP CRM Suite is the Customer Server Portal which allows customers to access individual prospect and customer information including as-built data, job status, documents and notes. Additionally, the Customer Portal provides customers with a 24/7 business solution that enables automated self-service.
