- SAP Business One CRM Customer Contact Management
SAP Business One makes it easier to manage master data for sales leads and customers. A dedicated master record feature is used to create and maintain data in user-friendly screens – such as name, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses, contact persons, and tax information. In addition, you can manage important payment data such as terms, credit limits, and special discounts, as well as bank and credit card information. Data stored in a customer master record is automatically transferred into the relevant transactions, such as sales quotations, orders, or deliveries. You are notified if credit limits have been exceeded or if a customer is “on hold” due to delivery or payment issues. A dashboard in the customer master record gives you an overview of the account balance, outstanding orders, and deliveries, as well as opportunities in the pipeline. Also, because SAP Business One provides visibility into the complete purchase history, it enables you to expose trends and anticipate customers’ needs based on historical customer information. Therefore, you can offer the right products and services and effectively align your production activities and inventory with your sales.
