„SAP Business One Simplifies Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
As an owner of a manufacturing and/or wholesale distribution company, two of your top priorities is to increase sales and improve customer satisfaction. SAP’s software for growing small businesses, SAP Business One , is designed to help you efficiently track the sales pipeline and effectively follow up on all customer contacts. The software makes it easy for your Sales team members to enter their activities and manage day-to-day responsibilities. Salespeople can quickly and easily enter the activity, details about the sales opportunity and the sales quotation.
To support the overall customer relationship management, everything done with a customer can be documented as an activity. Activities are used throughout the sales cycle to manage customer contacts as well as for internal business purposes. Everything you do with a customer can be documented in an activity, such as phone calls, meetings, tasks, notes or other interactions with customers, even e-mails. Documents and attachments can be linked to activities. Sales and customer service employees can use the activities to plan the tasks they intend to perform as well as report on all efforts made with any client. An easy way to schedule activities, such as meetings, is to use the calendar (the icon is located in the tool bar). The calendar allows you to display, schedule and update activities by dates and users. To create activities directly in the calendar, click on a given date and time, and SAP Business One takes you directly to the Activity window where you can describe activities and link them to business partners and documents.
„Within Business One, all sales and customer related activities can also be created and managed inside the business partner master data record.„You can open a list of related activities or select the option to create them from the business partner master data record. The software also has the functionality that allows you to set an alert to be sent to the user for a specific type of activity, such as a phone call, meeting, note, etc. In addition, you can set a reminder and a time frame for when the alert should happen. „The date used is the date you set on the activity. The alerts for activities are controlled by the “Send alert for activities scheduled for today” checkbox which is located within the Services tab of General Settings.
Activities are often linked to sales opportunities. „Opportunities are organized into stages that reflect the progress of your sales cycle. For example, the stages can be set as: lead, first meeting, second meeting, quotation and negotiations. Reporting is available for analysis of opportunities and for optimizing your sales process. The customers often want a sales quotation that they can review and circulate within their company before they commit to ordering.
The sales quotation might come out of a sales opportunity or activity, or arise independently. The sales quotation documents an offer or proposal that you send to a customer or to a lead. You can copy the quotation to a sales order to begin the sales process when a customer accepts the proposal defined in the sales quotation. The system offers you the ability to easily track all activities and stages pertaining to selling your goods and/or services. The opportunities area provides you with immediate visibility into your sales pipeline, for individual sales employees or the company as a whole.
