Various Aspects of CRM:
- Setup and Configuration: GreeneStep assists businesses in setting up and configuring their processes efficiently. This involves defining workflows, roles, permissions, and automating routine tasks.
- Users / Employees Access: This refers to the ability of employees to log into the ERP or CRM system and use its features. For example, a salesperson might access the CRM to update customer contact details.
- Reporting Managers: These are supervisors who oversee employees’ work. In an ERP system, a reporting manager might use dashboards to monitor team performance.
- Departments and Designations: This indicates the different areas of a company, like Sales or HR, and the job titles within them. An ERP system like GreeneStep might have different modules for each department.
- Organization Chart: A visual representation of the company’s structure. An ERP system might display this chart to show who reports to whom.
- Segregation of Duties / Access Rights: Ensuring employees only have access to the parts of the system relevant to their job to prevent fraud. For instance, in an ERP system, only accountants might have access to financial records. This defines what each employee is supposed to do. In a CRM, a user group for customer service reps would have access to service requests and customer feedback is another example.
- Sales Employees Performance Management: Tracking and evaluating the performance of sales staff. A CRM might track sales targets and actual sales to assess performance.
