The Problem
B2B Solutions is a distributor with 15 years of experience selling industrial products. As the business grew, serious challenges emerged:
- Manual quote creation — The sales team spent 2-3 hours daily creating quotes in Excel and Word
- Duplicated data — Data was in the ERP, Excel sheets and paper notebooks, causing errors
- Information unavailability — Salespeople couldn't see quote and order status when away from the office
- Lost opportunities — No follow-up tracking, many leads were forgotten
- Hard performance tracking — Management couldn't see real-time sales status and pipeline
- Late reactions — Problems were only spotted at month-end with reports
Metrics before implementation
The Solution
We implemented a CRM for B2B sales with full integration to their ERP system:
