Solution/Project

Implement an application system with a Centralized database management system.

Automating a highly paper-based system where facsimile, telephone and other means of communication were engaged for all the sales and customer support activities. The existing system involved logging of all the marketing activities on paper and repeatedly presenting the same data as reports leading to redundancy. There was no centralized database management of prospects. It was cumbersome for the management to be advised on the status of each activity involved by each of the sales personnel. No track of project implementation and support maintained.

Marketing and Support of the entire sales cycle from lead generation to sales closure including recording all pre-sales, implementation and post implementation activities needed to be indexed.

In the new application marketing personnel log in their activities for each day and against each activity, remarks, plan of action, future prospects, objectives to be realized, time planned, status of prospect etc., are also filled. It lead the end user through a complete pre-sales cycle when linked with the customer database.

After order closure, all details are completely inherited, and used by the Support team. A large quantity of customer information and implementation is carried out. Implementation plans / activities are logged in and any deviations trigger explanations. Automatic reminders are sent to appropriate personnel / authority levels at start of implementation and complaints, modifications, suggestions, training etc are all addressed through appropriate forms. Summary of Customer and Handling is available.

Benefits to IDS
