Part of the BSS Group Plc, flow control specialist Pegler & Louden is a valve and actuator distributor that assembles multi-product packages for customers who include industrial contractors, original equipment manufacturers, and end users in the nuclear, pharmaceutical, water and chemical markets.
Paper chase
Prior to bringing avrion’s CRM offering on-board, the company had a myriad of regional branches, all of whose customer records were stored on a paper-only basis. This made it impossible to instigate mass mail shots, or gain a clear picture of the company’s overall customer base and transactional history, etc. “We needed a way to control customer information,” says Pegler & Louden’s sales director, Bob Buckley. “With the paper system there was not enough control. With most records, information was difficult to find and often out of date. Customer information that did exist on this old paper based system was not structured in a way that allowed for marketing activity such as targeted mail shots.”
Unifying force
Following the implementation of CRM, this situation has been turned around, with Pegler & Louden now benefiting from a central repository for all its customer information. This means the firm has a complete and easily accessible list of all its
customers, including a key contact name for each client company, along with that contact’s email address and direct dial telephone number. As a result, targeted mail shots are now a regular aspect of the firm’s marketing activities. Every call made to a customer is also recorded, enabling sales and customer services staff to access each client’s transactional and service history. “This is particularly useful if salespeople change, because we now have a full history of the account at our fingertips, enabling a seamless transition,” says Bob.
Won over
As with the introduction of any new CRM system, Bob says there was some initial resistance. But, he stresses, this was short-lived and has made way for a lasting legacy. “The best testament is that a couple of salesmen who left the company complained to their new employers because they didn’t operate a comprehensive CRM system such as ours!”
All ears
Leading CRM partner avrion, which implemented the solution, has been invaluable, insists Bob. “They were outstanding. They have the ability to listen to my ideas and come back with a structured solution. This was particularly true of my idea of putting something in place to support a telesales initiative. They are genuinely interested in getting it right.”
Final verdict
“What can I say? I’m just really pleased with the solution,” concludes Bob. “It has ushered in a more professional and structured way of working. I would recommend avrion to anyone.”
