Manufacturers often look to the shop floor when it comes to efficiency activities, without considering the wasted effort and opportunity cost of poor business processes. By combining enquiry management, sales pipeline, quotations and forecasting via Flowlens cloud CRM software, with the stock management, planning and cost tracking capabilities of the MRP system, companies can save 30-40% on admin. On top of that, better control over data helps companies drive more sales, and make better decisions.
Often, manufacturing businesses operate in ‘silos’ with sales and operational teams lacking clarity of information, and constantly fire-fighting due to errors in communication or poorly defined business processes. This impacts customer satisfaction and team morale and is a massive barrier to growth.
By combining CRM and MRP software processes, Flowlens creates a standardised way of working across the customer lifecycle. It helps companies establish good habits. The reliable data produced by Flowlens means decisions can be made on more that ‘hope’ and gut instinct.
