The aphorism Time is Money, has never been as relevant for business as it is today. Nowadays, the quality and price of goods and services are not as directly related to customer choice as they used to be. What matters now is the speed at which a customer or client can receive what they want. The ability to respond quickly to customer needs and arrange workflows fast and efficiently is what helps companies win and retain users, buyers, readers, etc., and ultimately lead in the market.
Benefits of CRM and ERP integration
You can hardly find a successful market leader that hasn’t employed an enterprise-grade automation system. Automation software streamlines and speeds up business processes, as well as improves productivity. Most of the time it gets categorized with CRMs and ERPs. While CRMs automatically manage information about customer transactions, sales, and marketing campaigns, ERPs deal with workflows. To make a long story shorter, a CRM handles front-end info, while an ERP deals with back-end information. Although both systems work separately, when integrated, it’s important to keep their data synchronized. The synchronization is achieved by respective pre-set software robots by airSlate called Bots. For example, if you’re using airSlate (ERP) to change record types in Salesforce (CRM), set up the Update Salesforce Record Bot and watch how seamlessly the Bot transfers data and represents that transfer instantly with visible results.
- Complete view of customer. Get visibility into customer habits and use that data to retain them.
- Enhanced mobility. Close deals more efficiently by using a complete customer portfolio that’s stored in the cloud and accessible from anywhere.
- Simplified access to customer information. Enable sales reps to make better offers based on customer data in just a few clicks.
- Saved time on repetitive data entry. Eliminate data duplication with Integration Bots that push and pull data without human involvement or interaction.
- Streamlined orders. Turn generating proposals into a fast, consistent, and accurate process.
Use cases proving that integrating Salesforce and airSlate is a great idea
Integrating Salesforce and airSlate can enhance cross-department information exchange, enabling sales reps to close more successful deals. However, it’s not only about mutual access to databases but also about an opportunity to impact and update databases across an entire organization without human interaction. Thus, eliminating the human factor associated with error. By knowing a Salesforce record type’s ID, users can easily match fields and enable seamless data transfer to the Salesforce database. It suits well for updating customer contact information. Sales reps can also benefit by having customer profiles updated on last purchases in order to expand opportunities for future offers. Meanwhile, e-commerce platforms can configure the Update Salesforce Record Bot to get updates on new shipments and orders.
