An effective sales force needs an effective Sales and Marketing and CRM system. Your sales team needs
to chase new prospects, service your existing customers and be able to react promptly to changing
circumstances.
The ForwardOffice Sales and Marketing module provides a powerful and flexible control system for
managing and monitoring your entire sales force, with full access and integration to current business
flow.
Using the client as a starting point, this module not only offers a wide range of tools for day-to-day
sales activity such as Sales Report, Diary management and Quotations, but also offers functions that
are very specific to the freight and logistics industry, such as inter-agent Sales Leads and Routing
Orders.
The powerful database may be interrogated for in depth analysis or targetted Mailshots. Integration
with ForwardOffice Operational modules provides automatic notification of New Business, Lost Business
(‘Fall Off’), Profitability by Salesperson and much more.
All Sales activity can be controlled without any duplication of effort. The Sales database can be
built upon and refined year-on-year with full integration to Operations activity enabling information
to flow smoothly between departments.
