A company's reputation is closely linked to customer satisfaction, but also to the loyalty of each intermediary, such as distributors, retailers, and installers. With structured distribution chains, monitoring the responsiveness of service and products to the expectations of end customers is a complex task. Not having control over each step means not being able to govern the value chain, not being able to collect and analyze qualitative data from end customers, nor being able to assess retailer or installer satisfaction and involvement. Yet this is crucial information for designing medium- and long-term growth strategies. Thus arises the need for effective tools to connect the different links in the distribution chain and generate a flow of data that reaches the company from every junction, a supply chain management that offers clarity and reliability.
We use the most advanced automation features of the CRM platform to give you a clear view of the entire supply chain and enable your company to effectively and productively control lead generation and management. Direct and automated contact with the end customer will enable you to gather important insights and add value to your collaboration with retailers and installers, who can ensure even more accurate and timely responses to end customers. We aim to to create a fluid and dynamic interaction involving marketing, sales, customer service and external entities involved in the supply chain.
In the start-up phases of these activities, our experts will work alongside your management to facilitate overcoming any obstacles, such as the difficulty in comparing data from different sources or the complexity of managing synergies between different departments.

With the CRM platform's automation tools and our proven Channel Bridging methodologies, you will reap benefits in several areas:
Greater clarity of customer and stakeholder profiles enables sales to initiate effective lead management initiatives, gaining greater control of sales opportunities and enhancing the value of field workers to ensure greater direct presence on the ground.
By aligning with sales and sharing information gathered in the value chain, marketing receives important qualitative insights that enable it to increase the personalization of its campaigns and pass more qualified leads to field operators.
Customer service can take advantage of the data from all steps of the supply chain and activate operators who are in contact with the end customer, with benefits in responding to inquiries and resolving problems in a timely manner, while also identifying new sales opportunities to pass on to sales.
Through a structured Channel Bridging project, based on Lead Management processes and the analysis of qualitative data generated by the distribution chain, we offered Velux the opportunity to deepen its knowledge of the end customer and qualify installers as trusted professionals.
