Support and Service
Today's customers expect much more than service with a smile when they require support and service; there is no time for confusion, mixed messages, delayed responses and definitely no tolerance for dissatisfaction. Customer satisfaction equates to customer retention, customer loyalty, easier sales and ultimately more profitability.

EFFICIENCY's superb module integration and the internal and external information architecture enables everyone within your organisation to communicate with your customers with complete knowledge of all relevant inbound and outbound events, communications, transactions, buying patterns, purchase history, plants and equipment, spare parts, contracts as well as the complete knowledge of your products and services.

As each customer support and service transaction is attached to a Campaign Split, your marketing management has instant access to events happening in the customer support and service area.

Some of customers have no specific maintenance requirements and others are users of the products, plants and equipment in their business or day-to-day living. Unlike most CRM systems, EFFICIENCY treats Plant and Equipment used by the customers as part of the Total Client Management concept.

Your people and your own equipment are no different than your customers and their plants when it comes to support issues. They need much quicker, more detailed and focused support than the customers they will be supporting and they need their equipment in a tip-top shape at all times in order to communicate or perform better service to their clients or simply do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.

EFFICIENCY provides HELP DESK for your internal people and CUSTOMER SUPPORT for your customers with the backing of the CONTRACTS and the KNOWLEDGE BASE modules.

EFFICIENCY provides SERVICE and MAINTENANCE for your and for customer plant and equipment with the backing of the CONTRACTS, PLANT MANAGEMENT, PRODUCT MANAGEMENT and the KNOWLEDGE BASE modules.
