CRM Engage: Customer Relationship Management



Trends and Challenges

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is one of those magnificent concepts that swept the business world in the 1990’s with the promise of forever changing the way businesses small and large interacted with their customer bases. Presently newer software systems and advanced tracking features have vastly improved CRM capabilities and the real promise of CRM is becoming a reality.

CRM is a process of continuously gathering customer data, effectively utilizing that data from every customer contact point and turning that data into knowledge necessary to:

  • Identify, acquire, and retain customers
  • Understand customer behavior
  • Meeting customer needs
  • Building more profitable and loyal customer relationships
  • Enabling organizations to manage and coordinate customer interactions across multiple channels, departments, lines of business, and geographies


Today’s organizations must manage customer interactions across multiple communications channels-including the Web, call centers, field sales, and dealers or partner networks. Many organizations also have multiple lines of business with many overlapping customers. The challenge is to make it easy for customers to do business with the organization any way they want-at any time, through any channel, in any language or currency- and to make customers feel that they are dealing with a single, unified organization that recognizes them at every touch point.

Benefits of Customer Intelligence

The SEEinfobiz CRM Solution assists an organization to gain a competitive edge over its competitors by delivering critical business analysis online such as:

Customer Profiling

Customer profiling enables business managers in an organization to understand preferences, likes and dislikes of different types of customers. It assists the organization in identifying online the customer types such as corporate businesses, families or individuals, etc. Also managers can further profile their corporate or individual customers on basis of factors such as town, cities, age group, occupation or personal likes and preferences. This in turn provides managers with information such as most profitable customer type i.e. corporate/families, most profitable industry such as Technology, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Chemical etc.

Customer Risk Management

Risk Management enables analysis of risk for new and existing customers. New customers and existing customer’s profiles are analyzed to predict payment patterns and service preferences.

Customer Lifetime Value

Customer Lifetime Value analysis enables management to appropriate the costs incurred on servicing their customers, in order to retain them on a long term basis. This analysis can also provide insight into customer profitability vs. the costs incurred

Customer Service Mix

Customer Service mix provides insight into the kind of preferred services by particular type of customers, profitability from the various service options given to customers etc. This insight provides managers with the return on investment on the various service mixes as well as the knowledge to offer the right kind of services to different type of customers

Cross Selling and Up Selling

Opportunities for cross selling and up selling services can be identified for customers in order to increase profitability.

Customer Acquisition / Attrition / Retention

Acquiring a new customer is 4 times more expensive than retaining an existing customer. Therefore it is important that customers once acquired are profiled correctly and offered the right kind of services.
