CRM CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT Sevenbridge’s CRM is a module system created according to customer’s needs. Planning and recording of contacts with customers, reporting of prospects of sale, the use of commercial documentation, extended reporting or the possibility of integration with financial accounting system are all but a few of the system functions.

Various modules can be included in the CRM system. Customers – with the possibility of any categorization, attribution of regions and integration with ERP system Calendars and tasks – used to register all activities associated with customer contact, used for planning sales team work and for supervising tasks assigned during sales process (e.g. preparing an offer or specification etc) Base of contracts – contracts with suppliers, customers and subcontractors


LOTUS NOTES Base of knowledge – e.g. patterns of offers, technical specifications of products, presentations, commercial procedures etc. Sales invoices – according to customers requirements, with information about the state of payment, with the possibility of synchronization with ERP system Call centre – module used to register notes from call centre customer contact Intranet – publishing information via customer’s web portal Front office – incoming and outgoing corre-

Claims – claim process service management, the possibility of online complaining (via customer’s web portal) Purchasing – ordering process service with the possibility of integration with ERP system Budget – creation and control of sales budget realization (e.g. in customer’s perspective, region or salesman) Definable start screen – ELECTRONIC DESK, here each user is able to define elements that appear e.g. calendar, sales projects, tasks to do, budget etc. Access to the selected data via mobile devices is also possible.

spondence including commercial quotes, requests, orders etc Quotes – the register of quotes with workflow (module supports the process of quote preparation) Products – information about products quoted (with the possibility of synchronization with other database and the possibility of publishing products in www), ″life cycle″ of product management

7


ELECTRONIC WORKFLOW Reports – the processing and storage of data from other LN bases, preparation of overall reports using Excel (in the form of charts) directly in Lotus Notes application.

As a part of implementation, it is possible to prepare many predefinable reports e.g. sales by region or market segments, degree of budget realization, salesmen effectiveness etc. In addition, multi-criteria searching is also available. This mechanism allows the export of search results to Excel templates.

8

Implementing of electronic workflow allows the description and approval of various types of documents in a rapid and more effective way. One can use a universal form in which, aside from standard information such as data, document’s category, communication with customer, the author has the possibility of adding documents

in the form of attachments (e.g. Word, Excel, scanned document). We can also design individual forms according customer’s needs and guidelines. Every single time, a form or a document is subject to the workflow defined in a base. Responsible people are assigned to the particular stages. Each person receiving the document receives an email message. Additionally the document can appear in the start screen (electronic desk) described in the CRM module. This document is immediately seen in the start screen in elements ″to do″.


BASE OF KNOWLEDGE

MAILING

The application allows the storage of different types of company documentation and the creation of a ″library″ available to users e.g internal procedures, registration documents, patterns of offers and contracts, company drawings, certificates, descriptions of products, training materials and many others. Thanks to the possibility of dynamic menu creation (on the left side of screen), the whole application can be adjusted to one’s needs. The system can allocate access rights for particular menu elements and for singular documents included in a particular category as well. Information about new documents or about changes in documents the users receive via email.

The module allows the generation of electronic mail-merge to external customers. The base CUSTOMERS is the data source, whereas mailing lists are prepared based on the multi criteria searching mechanism. Mail-merge can use the templates for sending that were previously prepared. Generated mailing is also visible from the customer’s form level.

The MAILING System tells you: » whether a given email was read and when it was read » whether a given addressee signed up or removed from mailing list » click through to company website (the option to define a maximum of 5 links for one email) » incorrect mailing address

SEVENBRIDGE Functionality of computer system is mainly depended on customer’s needs. We treat each project on an individual basis, and the implementation is preceded by a detailed analysis. In order to match computer solutions as best we can, we review the dynamics of a given company, its processes, infrastructure and the essential users’ needs. The process approach to customer’s needs allows the definition of real requirements and possibilities, and the selection of the appropriate variant of cooperation.

We have a practical approach to projects. Whenever possible, we make the effort to work in our customers workplace, to have the possibility of direct cooperation with the future system users. Thanks to our long experience we know that such a model of cooperation is the most effective one. It significantly reduces the time of implementation and consequently it reduces costs, eliminates potential mistakes and many other factors that could make the finishing of implementation process more difficult. At the same time we make every effort to realize implementation of the system fluently with saving unbroken employment record for the customer.

As a result, we have implemented a number of collaboration solutions supporting customer service, the process of bidding and procurement process complaints, control liquidity of contractors, sales reporting, mailing database, scheduling and queuing of requests for special orders and many other ancillary applications supporting the work of Sales Department and overall administration. The implementation of the IGEPA’s CRM system named "CLICK", was preceded by the implementation of the Lotus Notes platform on a national scale. The system has been integrated with existing ERP system MAGFAKT.

IGEPA: All solutions of our implementation of system were designed from the basics. Initially, we used the standard Complete Business CRM application, that we approached individually by adapting it to the specifics of the company and work organization. The important element of cooperation was also two-way communication and a strong commitment to the project.

PKiMSA Carboautomatyka S.A. Person responsible for implementation: IT Manager Starting date of implementation: 12.2010. End date of implementation: 02.2011.

Sevenbridge: PKiMSA Carboautomatyka S.A. wanted to replace their current software with a new more effective one –and get rid of paper document workflow, taking into consideration invoice workflow. Another idea was to speed up creation of invoices by particular people in the company’s organizing cells. This could lead to faster delivery of invoices to the Accounts Department and the timely appearance of cost invoices in the existing ERP system. At the beginning of cooperation the customer precisely defined the needs and the working area of the system. After implementation of the range of basic system, the customer asked for one more module for internal processes service. Sevenbridge suggested implementation of the corporate mail platform based on IBM Lotus Notes. The platform contained the following document workflow applications: Front Office Document Workflow, Cost Invoice Workflow, Contracts, Service notifications and Variances.

PKiMSA Carboautomatyka: Thanks to implementation in the Carbo Group it was possible to standardize the workflow of documents and create central register of contracts. Finally paper description of cost invoices managed to finish and it was replaced with e-signature. The goals of implementation were fully achieved and what is more new applications were created (Claims and Variances) that did not appear in the previous project. The need to make them came out only at the last implementation stage. Additional elements of implementation were not a problem for Sevenbridge. Both databases were prepared according to ISO Quality Book and our tips.
