Like the update CRM solution itself, update.seven CRMintelligence powered by QlikView addresses the specific needs of the manufacturing, construction, financial services, consumer goods, pharmaceutical and medical technology industries. For example, customer visits are a focal point of the pharmaceutical industry: using targeted sales analyses, sales reps can measure sales performance by region or product and use this information to implement targeted measures to drive sales. Financial service providers place more emphasis on identifying the needs of customers at an early stage, and quickly and easily discerning current trends, thus delivering optimal advice to their customers. Companies in
the manufacturing industry can benefit from analyzing their market environment and evaluating sales opportunities, as well as monitoring customer satisfaction in order to react promptly and provide customers with good service. Consumer goods companies can analyze CRM data to monitor the performance of their sales and marketing campaigns in realtime - and optimize them accordingly.
