Towergate Insurance Sets New Standards For Customer Centric Marketing Enabled By The Single Customer View From VisionWare
London (PRWEB UK) 11 June 2014 -- Leading insurance broker, Towergate, offers specialist insurance to personal and business customers. Since the formation of Towergate in 1997, the company has grown considerably having made almost 300 acquisitions and now employing over 5,000 people across 100 UK offices. Personalisation of service is key to Towergate who employ experts in each and every field of insurance, covering more than 200 insurance products; allowing them to understand customer needs and to innovate, creating flexible policies that meet customer requirements now and into the future.
Towergate identified the need for better data quality, more accurate customer information and a single customer view across the company and all its brands to enable customer centric operations. Maintaining a trustworthy view of a customer, their policies and information across the Group is key so they can address their customers more effectively. As well as improving efficiency and customer services, a single customer view would offer several commercial benefits such as supporting more targeted marketing, improved customer services, better customer retention and increased sales opportunities.
Towergate selected Microsoft Dynamics as their CRM platform and with this in mind, the company selected Auris. Auris integrates with Dynamics CRM to provide an enterprise wide real time single customer view and also enables graphical views and analysis of the data for a business. Auris is the only combined MDM and Visualisation solution for Dynamics CRM.
According to Jill Lucas, Towergate CIO, a single customer view through Dynamics CRM was a vital decision for the company’s revenue growth and customer satisfaction levels. “Customer insight is imperative to ensure we target the right customer and meet their communication preferences. Integrating all of our customer data through the familiar interface of Dynamics CRM will make sales and marketing activity so much quicker. The appeal of VisionWare was Auris – as it provides the single customer view integrated into Dynamics CRM. Auris will enable us to support targeted, personalised marketing campaigns across all channels.”
