FAQs
For manufacturers with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution already in place, using the ERP bolt-on CRM solution may seem simple. However, for manufacturing businesses with specific and complex needs, this can be a false economy due to number of drawbacks.
- Lack of flexibility and complexity required by manufacturers: From engineering and make-to-order functionality to demand and scheduling function for your shop floor, many fall short of what is needed. Companies will often have to invest in multiple add-ons to enable their ERP CRM to support all of their critical manufacturing functions.
- Manufacturing businesses need complex customer experience workflows: Many ERP CRMs lack the complexity required to fully support the “product-as-a-service” model that today’s manufacturing companies rely on. A best of breed CRM can address the complex needs of modern manufacturers and enable them to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
- Stagnation v innovation: ERP CRMs are often hosted in-house and require an endless programme of costly and time-consuming customisations. Best of breed CRMs can be hosted on the Cloud (or on premise) providing users with the advantages of ongoing upgrades and innovation.
- Industry specific experience: Best of breed CRMs are often adapted for the needs of specific industries such as manufacturing, whereas ERP CRMs tend to use a ‘one size fits all’ approach to CRM.
Customer relationship management (CRM) software helps organisations manage the customer lifecycle for sales and marketing teams.
Essentially, CRM software manages all the ways a customer interacts with a business. It provides a single repository for your customer information enabling users to access customer data and manage client relationships. It also automates common processes and provides tools to monitor performance and productivity.
