Key Considerations for CRM for Industrial Equipment Manufacturing
Internet of Things
(IOT)
We find that many of our manufacturing clients – including industrial equipment manufacturers – are interested in this buzz-term: Internet of Things (IoT). With lots of products and machines operating at high levels of output, data that can be fed from these machines into your business applications can be highly vital for internal reporting, external statistics, and monitoring service requests.
Distributor Specific Considerations
Your industry is undergoing a massive change, the Amazons and Graingers of the world are forcing the industry to carefully watch market trends and adapt quickly. Distributors need to carefully track and manage their key vendor relationships across the enterprise. A CRM system from Root16 can help make the most of these relationships, and provide vital real-time information and insights to your teams.
Inventory Management & Supply Chain
A CRM application (integrated into ERP and supply chain tools) can surface inventory and production data to salespeople and also alert the distribution center/warehouse/production of any future increases in sales orders so production can keep pace with heightened demand. This can marry sales and production data together, preventing a backlog of orders or surplus of inventory.
