CRM: Customer Relationship Management

Objectives

• CRM is a strategy…

• CRM & SCM are the company’s DNA

• Collaboration is the key to a leadership management based in customer satisfaction and loyalty

Getting Ready…

• Strategy

• CRM

• Logistics

• Collaboration

Strategy

• 70’s & 80’s: strategy hot but difficult– Focus on Japanese implementation success

• Exercise in best practices, not strategy

• 90’s: Change, speed, being dynamic, reinventing business as e-business

• Strategy is considered rigid and inflexible

• Wal-Mart, Dell and Intel prove that strategies work - even in times of rapid business and technological change

“…a plan or method to achieve a specific objective”

CRM

…is a comprehensive strategic approach to providing seamless coordination between sales, customer service, marketing, field support and other customer-touching functions for the purpose of creating competitive advantage through relationships with the customers you choose to serve.

CRM Is A Strategy

• Began as Sales Force Automation in early 90’s• Is an organic process by which organizations

become customer-centric– New strategies - > redesigned functions - >

reengineered work processes - > supporting technology

– Can’t change how we interact with customers without changing internally focused organizational values and structures

CRM Is Difficult

• CRM isn’t cheap, easy or optional

• Means the dissolution of departmental silos

• Requires long-term effort

• Attitudes / behaviors of CEOs / senior management are some of the reasons CRM is difficult

#1 CRM Decision

• Who are your key customers?• What is their current value and strategic

value?– Clearly defined customer profitability / value– Definition communicated to the customer– Gaps in the current relationship identified– Goals and timelines set with that customer– If can’t resolve, mutually agree to no longer work

together

• “Hire” the right customers from the beginning

Customers are not all equal.Treat different customers differently.

G2000 Enterprises: Y2000 CRM

• Stovepiped approach

• Little thought to CRM ecosystem or front-office process integration

• Single function / channel deployments

Source: Steven Bonadio, Application Delivery Strategies, META Group

G2000 Enterprises: Y2000/01 CRM

• Automation / integration of individual, intra-enterprise customer-facing processes with back-office / supply chain functions – Demonstrable ROI– Efficient customer-focused fulfillment required


G2000 Enterprises: Y2002 CRM

• Proliferation of multi-process, cross-functional front- to back-office supply chain integration efforts across multiple channels– Growing use of CRM, SCM and ERM

application suites / architectures– Maturing EAI frameworks and XML-based

messaging standards


G2000 Enterprises: Y2003/04 CRM

• Demand fulfillment ‘norm’ of downstream supply-driven push is replaced by upstream demand-driven pull– Vendor consolidation/solution expansion– Collaborative supply chain network evolution– CRM infusion within G2000 organizations

• Competitive advantage: Map existing CRM activities in marketing, sales and service to companion back-office/supply-chain functions


CRM + ERM + SCM

“Organizations can no longer afford to view customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource management (ERM), and supply chain management (SCM) initiatives as separate. Synchronizing front-office, back-office, and supply chain activities is critical to attracting/retaining customers, fulfilling demand, and improving cycle times.”


Effective Fulfillment = Loyal Customers

• Make it easier to do business with you and more difficult to go elsewhere

• Create learning relationships– Identify the customer immediately– Act on information gathered previously– With each interaction, ask for feedback and ‘reward’

the customer– As move along the learning curve, the customer gets

a product they can’t get anywhere else because they helped create it

Value of Customer Loyalty

• Tangible– 5% increase in customer retention can boost profits

25% to 125%– Shorter customer relationships = lost profits

• 4 to 7 x more to replace a lost customer• “Old” customers buy more

• Intangible– Image, references and additional work– Challenging projects increase internal skills and

knowledge

origin and its ultimate destination– Objective: Reduce cost of getting products to

customers• Suppliers ship to consolidation or merge point where

order is held; ships as single order when complete

System Balancing: Two Types of Activities

Intelligent Forecasting

Top-Down and Bottom-Up Event Calendars Incorporating Macro-economic and Industry

Indicators Individual Accountability for Forecast Accuracy Seasonality Smoothing Best-Fit Modeling Capture and Measure True Demand Measuring Forecast Accuracy by SKU and

Channel

Forecasting Discouragement

• Repeated forecasting in the supply chain amplifies errors.

• The longer the replenishment lead time the bigger the forecast error.

• Price fluctuations and promotional events cause huge, unpredictable spikes in demand.

• Shortage Gaming: Customers order more than they really need and cancel orders when the shortage is over.

• Unfilled demand is not measured.

Forecasting Principles

• Measure and monitor forecasting accuracy.

• Establish individual accountability for forecasting accuracy.

• Measure true demand:– unsatisfied demand– overstated demand due to shortage

gaming


• Implement information sharing to let everyone know true demand.

• Establish and implement an event calendar to improve accuracy.

• Design organization and control policy to insure quick reaction to forecast errors.


• Use bottom-up forecasting to predict category and overall business forecasts for country, region, and global sales.

• Use top-down forecasting to predict region and country sales for categories and SKUs.

• Incorporate leading/lagging economic and industry indicators in top-down forecasting.


• Rationalize top-down and bottom-up forecasts with human intelligence.

• Stratify SKUs on the basis of demand and demand variability to determine:– forecastability– forecasting model

• Use best-fit model to predict future demand incorporating overall and seasonal trends.


• Reduce replenishment lead times to reduce the overall forecast error.

• The enemy is forecast error and reaction to it - let’s do everything within our control to reduce the forecast error.

• The barriers to forecast accuracy include bias, ignorance, poor data, and denial.
