Global SC Group

• Zoho CRM Rapid Implementation Package

Challenge

Global SC Group, Sydney Australia, which “exists to help companies win Supply Chain Advantage”, approached us requesting a CRM system that would help them manage extensive information on their business contacts.

The company had outgrown Outlook, but still wanted to use it for day to day emailing and calendar management

Solution

We recommended a Zoho CRM Rapid Implementation package including the Outlook Plug-in which allowed their users to integrate all Outlook activity with Zoho CRM.

The Zoho CRM Outlook Plug-in is a productivity enhancement tool that empowers Microsoft Outlook CRM users to synchronize their customer-related contacts, calendar, tasks and emails with Zoho CRM.

• Synchronize contacts, calendar and tasks between Microsoft Outlook and Zoho CRM.
• Add Outlook inbound and outbound emails as Cases to Zoho CRM - contacts.
• Associate Outlook inbound and outbound emails with Leads or Contacts in Zoho CRM.
• Modify email message and file attachments to the Lead or Contact in Zoho CRM without modifying the original message in Microsoft Outlook.
• Resolve conflicts while synchronizing contacts, calendar and tasks with Zoho CRM so that there will not be any mismatch of the customer data.

The key elements of the project were:

• Implementation of Rapid Implementation CRM Package using Zoho CRM
• Implementation of centralized calendaring and tasks management.
• Implementation of automated workflow and notification triggers.
• Implementation of the Zoho CRM Outlook Plug-in.
• The customization of numerous contact related information as well as customization of the leads, accounts and sales modules.

Result

Whilst Microsoft Outlook Excel was reliable in that provided information on business contacts, it did not have the functionality that the Global Supply Chain required.

Following the introduction of Zoho CRM, the Global Supply Chain Group was able to not only focus more efficiently on their business contacts, but also improved their sales pipeline and customer management strategies.
