Demystifying the Technology: What is CRM and How Can It Benefit My Business?
 
CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, is a business strategy designed to reduce costs and increase efficiency by more effectively gathering customer information. By analyzing this customer data, the business will be better able to respond to the customer’s needs. Typically, the term refers to a software-based approach to handling customer relationships. However, most vendors realize that a successful CRM strategy requires a holistic view where information from all data sources within an organization (both internal and external) come together to form a more accurate picture of the customer. This allows sales, customer service, marketing and other personnel to make better, more informed decisions in a timelier manner. Thus, the business grows by increasing customer satisfaction and retaining customer loyalty.

Companies can significantly benefit by employing this customer-centric philosophy via a powerful CRM application tailored to meet specific corporate initiatives. Advantages of CRM software are:
  • Improved efficiency ; simplified business processes effectively streamline systems. Increased productivity; fewer people can accomplish more work with greater ease.
  • Easy accessibility ; convenient online environment offers access from any computer with an Internet connection.
  • Better data accuracy ; information is more precise because the margin of user-error is significantly reduced.
  • Advanced knowledge reporting ; customizable, timely reports offer a more complete customer depiction.
  • Enhanced employee morale ; revamped tasks are now easier and more user-friendly.
  • Timelier decisions ; access to real-time data provides more comprehensive, opportune assessments
For this model to be successful, the CRM initiative must address three key elements: people, process, and technology. All must work together to ensure that the vast amount of data collected from customers, sales, marketing effectiveness, responsiveness, and market trends are correlated and correctly analyzed to make informed decisions that will advance business goals. It is important to note that for a good CRM strategy to succeed, it should be adopted by the entire organization. A skilled developer can help select the right technology to drive these processes so that the overall CRM structure runs in a unified, consistent manner.

At the heart of CRM is the customer and developing stronger relationships with them. CRM solutions can automate the set of business processes used to serve your business customers. It’s a practical solution to information overload and outdated, paper-and-pencil processes. Ideal for both large and small businesses, CRM is a powerful business asset that promotes the use of today’s vast technology to effectively increase efficiency and profitability.
 
Sabre Solutions: Printing Company Uses CRM to Triple Sales!
 
A national printing company that specializes in stationery for Fortune 500 clients came to Digital Sabre for technology guidance. Their current system involved a long, time-consuming approval process for proofs that consisted of multiple hard-copy mock-ups and depended on faxes and FedEx for authorization. The company wanted an online system that would streamline approval and purchasing processes, plus make internal systems more efficient and cost-effective.

Digital Sabre developed a powerful online customer relationship management (CRM) application that virtually eliminates their outdated, cumbersome approval procedure. The complete process now utilizes the Internet for improved efficiency. All proofs and authorizations as well as pricing calculations and credit card transactions are automatically conducted online with ease. The customized CRM application has vastly streamlined and advanced the purchasing process, improving the ability for the company to respond to its customers’ needs. This, in turn, has lead to a higher volume of clients and a significant increase in sales. As a result of the new system, business has literally tripled!
