MSP Manufacturing CRM

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems are important for any business as they are used to manage a company’s interactions and relationships with both current and potential customers. A CRM system typically helps businesses organise, automate and synchronise sales, marketing, customer service and technical support. The primary goal of CRM is to improve business relationships and increase customer satisfaction, leading to elevated sales and profitability.

However, achieving this can be a challenge for SMEs in the training industry because they may come across difficulties, daily, when trying to manage their business. Some of the industry’s biggest gripes include reports which lack information or have complex organisational task lists, inefficient manual processes or poor external and internal communication.

Our Dynamics GO: Training utilises the power of Microsoft Dynamics 365 to easily manage your business and make the running of it simple. Some of the improvements that this solution offers include the receiving of detailed and accurate data, setting task reminders to manage timetables, planning lessons and organising training materials. It also allows you to automate previously long, tedious and repetitive tasks and to easily communicate with your customers and staff.
