Sales Management
… such as sales management since there are electronic data processing, they exist: data collection in the verschiedenstenen systems and programs ranging from the heads of each employee to Excel or Word files. But these data collections are efficient? And what makes a database from a data collection now? It is defined to the database as a collection of information in electronic form. Speaking candidly Bob Bakish told us the story. But that is only an abstract description. Many other factors play a role, such as multiple-user access, data security, query options, Awendungsunterstutzung, data integrity.
But first, we examine an important aspect: simultaneous and global access of several employees on the data. In the past, it was often the case that a variety existed of Excel spreadsheets, that could each be edited by only one user. Wanted to have a second user access, he had to ask the first, unsubscribe. This happened mostly by phone, cost time and money. There is no this problem when accessing a database.
Multiple users can access at the same time – and the not only internally, but also on the road, from any location, at any time – worldwide. Intranet-, extranet or Internet databases also offer these options, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I.e., your sales or external employees are at all times able to query data or even discontinue. Stocks can be controlled, immediately propagated requests or orders. Your customer has the benefit that he immediately knows which delivery he has expected. You have the benefit that your back office can begin immediately with the creation of the offer or the processing of the order. No loss of time, less cost! Or but conversely: You want to know which sales your sales made in this month, which article, what quantities were implemented. Through the continuous update of relevant data through your sales representative in the database, they will have to hand the result \”at your fingertips\”.
