The growing demand for its products demanded integrating its existing system and processes to a robust sales and marketing platform. CRMITs pre-built integration approach consolidates customer and order information and orchestrates key business processes from an organization’s JD Edwards Enterprise One to Oracle CRM On Demand deployments.

Solution

The company chose Oracle CRM On Demand (Cloud CRM) as a ‘Sales Data Maintaining System’ and made the business processes more visible, controllable and measurable. A robust workflow was automated to accelerate the productivity and a global sales performance of sales dynamic reports module was configured for management to have visibility.
Oracle CRM On Demand was implemented with help from Oracle Platinum Partner CRMIT Solutions, to better manage the sales force, and improved presales and marketing activities, thanks to built-in reporting functions

The implementation approach included:

-Deploying CRM On Demand with Sales, Service and Marketing modules
-Deploying the Integration Pack for JD Edwards Enterprise which supports o Data synchronization to bring in Customer and Order details into CRM On Demand

-Send Account, Product & Order information from JD Edwards to CRM On Demand
-Ability to control Data transfer frequency dynamically
-Order tracking through the CRM system – with order processing details flowing in through the interface
-Change Management and user adoption with regards to overall CRM acceptance
-Enabled sales representatives to update information by market, sector (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or automotive), and by region to improve quality of data in the CRM database, something that was not possible with the previous CRM solution
-Optimized sales representatives’ use of CRM solutions, with Oracle CRM On Demand, thanks to data reliability improvements, powerful analytical functions, and user-friendly productivity environment
The sales team eliminated the use of pre-printed order forms to collect bulk of the orders. The company improved its sales and profits while the company’s sales representatives have access to operational follow-ups through dashboards that are based on reliable data. This helps in tracking objectives by commercial activities and region and for quick analysis of on-going business opportunities, rather than gathering dispersed, pre-printed forms and spreadsheets from 3rd party system.
