Introduction
Our client is a UK-based e-commerce company that started 2017 trading exclusive and rare coins, including the world’s first releases. They started with 4-5 people and had a clear vision of making a significant impact on the exclusive coin industry. They offer numerous rare coins, including many of the world’s first coins, to coin collectors.
Our client was looking for solutions that were easily integrated with their e-commerce platform, i.e., WooCommerce. We help them evaluate CRM, and Zoho One was selected as a solution for their unique business needs to provide them with 360-degree business process management. As a Zoho Premium Partner, we have implemented and integrated Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, and Zoho inventory for over 200 Zoho One users.
Business Problems
They were looking for a less complex CRM, which is available 24/7 and can be accessed across all channels like desktop, mobile, I-pads, etc. Based on the client’s needs, we shortlisted Zoho One to help them with the best solutions. Also, we evaluated time to implement, operational cost, maintenance cost, upgradation issues, lead time, flexibility, and customizability. In all parameters, Zoho is a winner in terms of value for money. Our client’s business was a startup with limited resources, so additional features were evaluated against requirements. With Zoho One, as Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory, along with 48 other applications, came as one package, it was a clear winner.
These were the challenges to be addressed:
Inefficient Order Process
As the e-commerce platform was not integrated with Zoho, order processing took a long time and was prone to human error.
Inadequate Customer Support
Their customer service team only handled customers’ queries by email, leaving customers unsatisfied due to improper tracking and missed tickets.
Lack of Automated System
Their customer support team faced many difficulties completing their daily targets due to a lack of system automation.
Manual Accounting System
There were a lot of challenges in maintaining proper track of daily real-time reports, and tax calculation, especially in the USA, was difficult and inefficient due to manual calculations.
Business Objectives
Our Solutions
We helped them decide which CRM tool was best suited for their unique business needs; with all the evaluation and analysis, we integrated Zoho One for the best results according to our client’s requirements. We at CRM Masters follow the best practices and analyze our client’s problems from beginning to end.
