"The beauty of Salesforce is that, the more you use it, the easier it gets. It's helped us to win a big corporate contract and our customer service is now on steroids. Our company motto is: 'If it's not on Salesforce, then don’t talk to me about it!'"
Chen Kotecha
Managing Director, Scancom
Challenge
- Scancom's information was scattered around the organisation on paper, databases and spreadsheets.
- The company wanted a solution that consolidated its data and information
- Scancom had developed its own CRM database, but technical issues made it difficult to use
- The company wanted to use its customer data more effectively
Solution
- Scancom implemented Salesforce across its ten staff members.
- Implementation was swift, with staff requiring little training.
- Customising Salesforce to suit Scancom’s business processes was quick and easy
- Scancom did not have to invest in IT staff in order to make any changes to Salesforce – an important consideration for any SME
- Scancom was so impressed with Salesforce that it has upgraded to the Professional version and added the Assets module.
Results
- Sales staff have gained at least 1-1.5 hours per day by being able to generate invoices quickly and easily because all relevant information is at hand.
- There has been a 100% increase in efficiency when it comes to keeping staff informed about areas such as pricing and policy.
- During one month, Scancom generated an additional £35,000 in revenue as a result of being able to pull off accurate reports and then revisit customers and upsell.
- Scancom has reduced the time taken to find client information to facilitate a support call by 100%.
- The development time for Scancom’s internal systems is down by almost 90% because there’s no need for any additional software or to hire outside contractors in order to add functionality to Salesforce.
- Staff idle time has been greatly reduced, because it’s now easy for them to chase up sales opportunities and leads.
- Scancom secured a major corporate contract because the client was impressed that Scancom was using Salesforce.
