Implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system has many benefits for salespeople. Better visibility across the business, easier quoting and invoicing, automated lead management, improved team collaboration\u2026the list goes on.<\/p>\n
But the biggest benefit of an ERP<\/span> for salespeople? Winning more business.<\/p>\n In an era when sole traders are spruiking their services against sales teams from bigger businesses, an ERP provides the competitive advantage you need to close more deals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Most ERPs feature an integrated CRM as standard. But ERPs designed for manufacturers come with additional modules to support marketing and sales in specialised industries.<\/p>\n A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module<\/span><\/a> enables manufacturers to organise data from customers, suppliers and partners. Jobman\u2019s CRM<\/span><\/a> comes with a high degree of customisation, so you can:<\/p>\n After all, making a good impression is half the battle to winning more business.<\/p>\n Keeping track of prospective customers is time-consuming and complex. Using ERP data to streamline lead management<\/span><\/a> takes the legwork out of lead qualification. As a result, sales and marketing staff can pursue valuable opportunities, proactively deliver personalised information, or pull back if the timing isn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n When a potential customer asks, \u201ccan you make it happen?\u201d you need to be ready with an answer. Not in 3-5 business days, or even 24 hours, but on the spot.<\/p>\n Jobman ERP software provides complete operational transparency<\/span><\/a> and data-driven insight<\/span> to answer confidently. You can check stock levels<\/span><\/a>, assign capacity<\/span><\/a> and look ahead to jobs in the pipeline<\/span><\/a>, all from any web-connected device.<\/span><\/p>\n Jobman\u2019s browser-based quoting module<\/span><\/a> allows you to create professional quotes in minutes. In addition, you can customise every part of the quote to deliver a personalised estimate that stays on top of the pile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From sole trader cabinetmakers to large manufacturers, every business sits on a gold mine of data. An ERP provides transparent access to that data, so management can uncover value-adding insights and pursue high-potential opportunities.<\/p>\n For example, Superior Kitchens & Cabinets in Albany, WA, were taking every job as it came because they lacked the data and visualisation to streamline their services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After implementing Jobman<\/a><\/span>, the team saw significant productivity increases and a streamlined job pipeline. Most importantly, their management team now has greater confidence when a customer comes calling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are many sales and marketing intelligence tools out there. But before you subscribe to yet another expensive service, consider how an ERP streamlines operations across the business<\/span>.<\/p>\n The right manufacturing ERP will supersede the legacy systems that don\u2019t communicate properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With optional integrations like accounting<\/span><\/a>, cloud storage<\/span><\/a> and CAD-CAM software<\/a>, Jobman has all your bases covered. The result is a simplified system providing end-to-end intelligence.<\/p>\nERP intelligence for sales and marketing<\/b><\/h2>\n
