WHSuites CRM For Manufacturing Business — Key Features
WHSuites CRM offers a full set of features that focuses on the needs of sales and customer service management for manufacturers. Here are some of those features:
Lead Management & Auto-Assignment
Easily capture leads from multiple sources (including IndiaMart, TradeIndia, Google Ads, etc) in one place. Your leads will be automatically assigned to the appropriate salesperson based on their locality, which product category they are interested in—and what the lead source is (like a website)—so you’ll never miss a lead or create duplicate leads.
Dealer & Distributor Management
Manage your entire dealer/distributor network from one dashboard. You will have the ability to track how many orders each dealer has placed, view outstanding payments and create follow-up reminders for reorder cycles. You will also know which dealers are active, which ones need attention, and which ones are on the verge of being inactive.
Sales Pipeline & Opportunity Tracking
Visualize your complete sales pipeline, from initial inquiry through each stage of the sales process until a sale is closed. You will see how much money has changed hands as opportunities move through each stage of the sales process. Managers will have a snapshot of how the team is performing and how much opportunity is available in their pipeline.
Quotation & Proposal Management
Create and send out professional quotations directly from the CRM for your prospects. You will know when your prospect has opened your quotation, will have an automatic reminder to check back with them, and if your prospect has approved your quotation, convert the approved quotation into an actual order without leaving the CRM.
Sales Automation & Follow-Up Reminders
Set follow-up reminders for all leads and deals automatically through the CRM. Automated email, SMS or WhatsApp reminders are sent to your team when each prospect should be followed up, so they never fall through the cracks during busy production periods.
Field Sales Team Tracking
You can monitor your field sales teams in real time using our platform. Track their visits, meetings and report daily activities. Our platform allows field executives to log their meetings and change the status of leads using their mobile device, so all the executives are working from the same information.
After-Sales Service & Complaint Management
Record and track customer complaints or service requests. Track AMC (Annual Maintenance) renewals, assign ticket numbers to technicians and set deadlines for resolution to ensure that you have satisfied post sale customers who return to you for additional purchases.
Marketing Automation
Targeted email, SMS and WhatsApp campaigns can be used to reactivate customers who have gone dormant, announce new products or promote seasonal offerings. You can segment your customers by type of business, size of order or geographic region to provide relevant information to them.
Customisation & Workflow Automation
Each manufacturing organisation is unique and WHSuites CRM will allow you to define fields, pipeline stages, approval workflows and automated triggers to suit your specific business process, without requiring a developer to assist you with the process.
Analytics, Reports & Dashboards
Get real-time insights to track your sales performance, conversion rates, productivity of the sales team, your best-selling products and revenue projections. Create reports based on KPIs of interest to your business, and then easily export them into Excel with just one click!
Product & Inventory Enquiry Tracking
Incoming inquiries can easily be linked to a catalogue of products; you will be able to identify which products receive the most inquiries, where they are geographically located and use that as the basis for determining how to align the production plan to the marketplace.
Document Management
Store and organise any documents associated with customers as part of a secure location for each customer account linked to the corresponding Account Record. This means no longer having to find an email thread or search multiple locations for the applicable documents.
Manage All Manufacturing Leads From One Platform
WHSuites CRM integrates with all the major platforms utilized to generate leads within the manufacturing industry. So, you will never have to copy and paste leads again:
Why Does Your Manufacturing Business Need a CRM?
Excel, Outlook and WhatsApp are still being used by many manufacturers; the following represents the limitations of these techniques on a manufacturing company’s growth:
- Lead generation from dealers, distributors, trade shows & IndiaMart are spread across multiple locations.
- Field reps are operating in isolation without visibility to management.
- Potential customers are going to competitors because they are not receiving timely follow-ups.
- Information related to a customer’s order history, payment status and past contact is unavailable
- The generation of reports and forecasting requires manual data compilation, taking large amounts of time weekly.
A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution for the manufacturing industry eliminates all of these challenges through automation of repetitive tasks, centralised storage of customer information and full visibility of management’s sales performance in real-time. The outcome: shorter and more effective sales cycles, improved win rates, and enhanced customer loyalty.
