"Integrating SugarCRM with Sage 100 ERP and the Volusion e-commerce solution, they now have a single view of their customer needs."
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 25, 2014
Keller-Heartt Company (Keller-Heartt) successfully installed a customized instance of SugarCRM for their sales team to provide them with better opportunity management. Integrating SugarCRM with Sage 100 ERP and the Volusion e-commerce solution, they now have a single view of their customer needs. Keller-Heartt used Technology Advisors (TAI), a Three-Star Platinum partner, for consulting and implementation.
Prior to their implementation of SugarCRM, Keller-Heartt had no formal customer relationship management (CRM) system in place. With lots of data spread across many different applications, devices, methods, and minds, it was vital to streamline their sales organization into a single source of truth. TAI was brought in to assess the needs of the business, and devised a roadmap that would start with the adoption of Sugar Professional On-Demand. This prevented the attrition of Keller-Heartt’s sales team by implementing sales force automation, and provided visibility and accountability among the sales team. “We knew there were a lot of opportunities for improvement,” said TAI Consultant Lan Luo. “From creating a single window for their data, to integrating additional systems like Sage 100 ERP and Volusion…the Keller-Heartt team has the wisdom to start small and get increasing value as the implementation matures.
Since the implementation, Keller-Heartt has enjoyed improved sales pipeline management and visibility among their sales staff. The roadmap for their SugarCRM adoption also includes the more sophisticated features of the software to be deployed as the project matures and their staff continues to learn the ropes. “Support from Technology Advisors is crucial,” stated Keller-Heartt President Brian McGrath. “They relate to our staff in a user-friendly way.”
“This is another example of how customers can see immediate returns on implementing a CRM solution,” said Technology Advisors CEO Sam Biardo. A case study detailing Keller-Heartt’s adoption of SugarCRM has been published by Technology Advisors.
