The Challenge
Our client was using the outdated EFACS system for CRM, which proved to be cumbersome and challenging to use. To streamline their processes, they decided to consolidate all pipeline data into a single flat file on Excel. Although this was a significant improvement, the sales team still had to manually pivot, filter, copy, and paste the data to create presentable reports.
The Desired Outcome
The need for an efficient charting system was a high priority for our client to improve their operational efficiency. They wanted a system that would allow them to create visually appealing and user-friendly charts quickly and easily, with just one click. It was also essential that the system would be accessible from different devices, making it easier to collaborate and work remotely. The option of sharing charts via email was not practical, and this had resulted in difficulties managing the information. With the implementation of the new system, our client's workflow would be simplified, saving valuable time and resources.
The Solution
We developed a web-based database that could extract data directly from EFACS and generate a graphical sales funnel for our client. The funnel offered a visual representation of the sales pipeline, with the ability to drill down and view specific project details by clicking on a segment. This allowed the team to track progress and identify bottlenecks at each stage of the sales process, such as requests for quotes, proposals sent, received POs, design, production, invoicing, and completion. Overall, the system provided greater visibility and control over the sales process, improving our client's overall efficiency.
The Impact
By creating a Web-based Opportunity Funnel tool, IMI's teams across the globe have realised the following benefits:
- Customisation - users can now easily apply filters to further analyse the projects.
- Flexibility - users can export reports to Excel for further analysis.
- Sharing of best practice - users now have tools to create and share their custom reports with other users.
