Continue reading to find out why many top companies across numerous industries have selected Infocenter’s ATLAS as their CRM.
Enterprise-Wide Difficulty Accessing CRM
CRM systems are instrumental in helping companies better manage their external relationships, customer services, and marketing campaigns. These reliable systems help staff identify opportunities for sales, resolve service issues, track performance histories, and store customer information. But your company’s CRM system may be costing you more than you realize when you consider its effectiveness and accessibility.
Switching between multiple screens is ineffective, time-consuming, and can negatively affect a sale or customer interaction. If staff need to generate quotes, check product inventory or connect with customer services, they may be switching between multiple screens and launching different platforms while trying to keep a customer on the phone. Your customers are left waiting too long for an email response or sitting on hold, resulting in lower customer retention and satisfaction.
Increased visibility helps drive business growth, especially when viewed alongside other vital data from customer services, product and service management, and marketing. Different business areas benefit from this customer relationship data, but access to it is not always possible with existing legacy systems. You may be creating unnecessary bottlenecks in the flow of information between departments that could be impacting your customer’s experiences and services.
Why Replacing Your CRM is the Best Solution
It may not seem like replacing your CRM software can resolve these communication or cost issues. Many companies are hesitant to bring in new technology, especially when existing software has been in place for a long time. There is a cost associated with training staff, exporting historical data, and creating workarounds to integrate it with other systems – like Configure Price Quote tools or pricing software. However, Infocenter’s CRM application directly integrates into your company’s existing ServiceNow platform, so you can completely eliminate software workarounds or the risk of lost data.
This connection will create a bi-directional line of communication between the CRM application and the rest of your platform, making it easy for staff across your organization to access it, add to it, and relay it to customers. Service portals allow customers to access information directly without needing to navigate a confusing call system, reducing frustrations for your customer service staff. Since it is built on the ServiceNow platform, the ATLAS™ CRM application offers more features than others, including:
- Company and Account Management
- Contact Management
- Opportunity Management
- Pricing
- Sample Requests
In addition to the features above, with ATLAS, staff can generate sales quote letters in PDF form within the application and connect Infocenter’s Configure Price Quote (CPQ) application to generate pricing information for clients on the go. Replacing your CRM software with Infocenter’s means your staff has a holistic solution that helps them focus on their work and not on learning new technology.
Scaling Customer Service Through CRM Integration
The direct benefit of integrating your CRM software into your ServiceNow platform is scaling customer experience with business growth. As your customer base grows, self-service portals reduce staff caseload by helping customers resolve common problems like resetting passwords or tracking a ticket. Sales staff can access client information from the field to order products, generate sales quotes, or demonstrate new products or services. Marketing teams can quickly find CRM data on service performance and customer behavior to create compelling targeted campaigns. Since the CRM software connects to a consolidated platform, this integration helps teams across the enterprise.
