All this in a single software, flexible, complete and natively integrated with all the modules of the BeOne software solution.




WHAT COMMERCIAL data can be entered in my client records?

The Client Data constitute the “corporate equity” of the organisation. Inside the virtual folder (Client records), many types of data can be registered but the essential data for the analysis of the client’s potential are the following:

  • • TYPE OF ENTITY
  • • CONTACTS INSIDE THE CLIENT'S ORGANISATIONS
  • • PROFILING
  • • COMMERCIAL DATA
  • • COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL NOTES
  • • COMMERCIAL ASSIGNMENTS




HOW DO I CONSULT THE HISTORY OF EACH CLIENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SEARCH FOR DOCUMENTS AND DATA FOR THE WHOLE COMPANY IN ORDER TO DO A CLIENT ANALYSIS?

The BeOne CRM solution enables, through the Client Analysis function, a single screen to be consulted with all the data and commercial, marketing, operational and administrative documents by individual company name (Client).

WHAT IS THE TYPE OF ENTITY?

BeOne CRM users segment the entity (Record) in the following ways:

  • • LEAD
  • • PROSPECT
  • • CLIENT
  • • AGENT/CORRESPONDENT



HOW ARE CONTACTS CLASSIFIED WITHIN THE CLIENT’S ORGANISATIONS?

In the BeOne CRM solution, it is possible to register Contacts of the Client’s organisation, making them accessible to its corporate departments that interface with them daily, since they are currently always difficult to find. Moreover, they are used by Communication Management users for the appropriate marketing and communication campaigns with the Client. The data that can be registered are the following:

  • • NAME
  • • COMPANY POSITION
  • • E-MAIL/TELEPHONE/MOBILE/SKYPE-ID
  • • DATE OF BIRTH
  • • TRAFFIC SECTOR AND TYPE OF TRANSPORT MANAGED




WHAT COMMERCIAL DATA CAN BE ENTERED IN THE RECORDS e-FOLDER?

In the BeOne CRM solution, in the Commercial Data section, we can enter all the traffic data:

  • • TYPE OF TRANSPORT: AIR/SEA/LAND
  • • TRAFFIC SECTOR: IMPORT/EXPORT
  • • NUMBER OF SHIPMENTS
  • • FREQUENCY (DAILY/WEEKLY/MONTHLY/ETC.)
  • • NATION/MARKET/POSTCODE/PORT/DEPARTURE AND DESTINATION AIRPORT
  • • COMMODITY TYPE



WHAT IS MEANT BY COMMERCIAL NOTES?

Commercial users of the BeOne CRM solution usually enter a commercial note on how Customer Service should quote the spot offers. At the time of the creation of a spot offer, once the user enters that record, a pop-up will emerge giving the user an indication of the quotation parameters for that particular client/transport/service.


WHAT DOES PROFILING MEAN?

BeOne CRM users activate the designated “Characteristics” function to appropriately profile the individual Client and, usually, the profiles are the following:

  • • FINANCIAL RELIABILITY OF THE CLIENT
  • • ANNUAL TURNOVER OF THE CLIENT
  • • NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
  • • BUSINESS SECTOR
  • • FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS
Meaning all that demand for services that we currently cannot deliver, for example, warehouse logistics, which we are however planning to implement in the near future.

HOW IS THE COMMERCIAL ASSIGNMENT HANDLED WITH EACH CLIENT?

The BeOne CRM solution enables the key branch to be assigned that manages the Client and several Commercial assignments (for different services) for each individual client, for example:

  • • AIR EXPORT: SALES MANAGER 1
  • • AIR IMPORT: SALES MANAGER 2
  • • LAND IMPORT EXPORT: SALES MANAGER 3
  • • SEA FCL: SALES MANAGER 4
  • • NATIONAL: SALES MANAGER 5

MAXIMISE THE VALUE OF YOUR CLIENTS

Thanks to BeOne’s CRM module, all the data and paper documentation can be stored inside a single virtual folder (e-folder) that represents the client/prospect/lead records, thereby eliminating all the bundles and files scattered throughout the organisation or the individual PCs. Any file type (*.pdf, *.docx, *.xlsx, *.jpg, etc.) can be archived (through upload or drag and drop) directly in the appropriate records e-folder:

  • • CLIENT RELIABILITY DOCUMENT PRODUCED BY THE RATING COMPANIES
  • • LETTERS OF INTENT (FOR ITALY)
  • • RATES SUBSCRIBED BY THE CLIENT
  • • PROTOCOLS WITH THE CORRESPONDENTS

How much time do you lose in adjusting and varying your rates?

The BeOne CRM solution enables the variation of the adjustments to be done automatically, based on a deadline or on the definite date for these adjustments. With the parametric variation, a percentage of the entire rate can be varied with a few clicks of the mouse, on the sections down to the individual element.

How can I communicate the contract to my client without sending an additional email?

BeOne CRM enables, as well as sending an email, the bulk publication on the portal dedicated to the Client. Acceptance by the Client can be archived electronically, both at the data and document levels.

How is a spot offer quoted respecting the client rate?

The BeOne CRM solution enables the creation of a spot offer or rate in a few seconds, since the acquisition of the majority of the Client’s requests very much depends on the time the offers are received.

Can I monitor the status of my offer?

The BeOne CRM solution enables events to be created that oblige the business to give feedback on the status of the offer (follow-up in the case of spot offer or reminder in the case of charges). The status can be monitored in real time and the same is true for the results of the offers, for example: accepted, annulled (giving the reason), rejected (giving the reason). All feedbacks and results can be analysed with the use of Business Intelligence tools.
