  • SAP Business One: customer relationship management.
  • In this demo, you’ll see how the SAP Business One application enables you to
  • manage customer contacts,
  • track sales opportunities and gain visibility into the sales pipeline,
  • and provide post-sale support to build stronger, lasting customer relationships.
  • Sophie Klogg is a sales manager with OEC Computers
  • and she uses SAP Business One to manage all of her interaction with customers.
  • In this example, Sophie logs into SAP Business One to prepare for her day.
  • From a centralized location, she can easily access
  • all of her correspondence, activities, and calendar.
  • Sophie sees an alert that reminds her to follow up on a sales opportunity
  • with her customer, Earthshaker Corporation.
  • Before she looks at the sales opportunity,
  • she opens the customer master record, where she maintains all of the customer-related data.
  • First, she checks the customer’s outstanding account balance,
  • and the remaining available credit balance, and quickly determines there are no issues.
  • Before contacting the customer, Sophie reviews notes from previous conversations.
  • She sees that they discussed a special, one-time discount for the Fall 2010 Product Catalog.
  • Since she has the information she needs, Sophie can contact the customer with confidence.
  • After her call with the customer, Sophie can drill into the sales opportunity
  • without leaving the customer master record.
  • With one click, she can access all the information associated
  • with the sales opportunity about the fall catalog,
  • such as predicted close date, level of interest, and expected profit.
  • She can also create a new quote based on her call with Earthshaker.
  • Sophie selects relevant data from the master record
  • and SAP Business One transfers the data into the quotation.
  • From the same screen, Sophie confirms that the product is in stock.
  • When she completes the quote,
  • the software will automatically link it to the opportunity so
  • Sophie can track progress in her sales pipeline.
  • Sophie can also e-mail the quote from SAP Business One to the customer,
  • which she’ll do later.
  • Next, Bob Jones, the owner of the company, logs into SAP Business One.
  • Bob can view the entire sales pipeline for all sales reps, or focus on one in particular.
  • He can also filter his view to see the pipeline by stage.
  • This visibility helps him focus on opportunities that are likely to close sooner than others.
  • Bob checks on the Earthshaker account.
  • He sees that the opportunity Sophie entered a week ago
  • has changed from the quotation stage to negotiation.
  • He can drill down to see detailed progress notes and the probability of close.
  • With SAP Business One, Bob has access to many different reports
  • to help him manage sales opportunities and perform forecasting and analysis.
  • With a click, he can also access his sales dashboard,
  • which shows overviews of year-to-date performance, revenue, and top customers and deals.
  • With total visibility of the sales pipeline, Bob can quickly see the
  • status of the company’s sales efforts.
  • Later, when Sophie receives a call from a customer
  • who is having a problem with a printer,
  • she uses SAP Business One to help her provide post-sale customer service.
  • While the customer is still on the phone,
  • she first checks the knowledge database for possible solutions.
  • Because no solution is recorded, she decides to create a service call
  • and transfer the request to the service department.
  • As soon as she creates the ticket,
  • the service department is automatically notified of the new service call.
  • The next time Sophie is looking at her customer’s master record,
  • she can easily check the status of the service call she created.
  • As you have seen,
  • the SAP Business One application has the tools to help you
  • manage customer contacts, track sales opportunities,
  • and provide post-sale support to build stronger, lasting customer relationships.
