Many companies operate through partners and as a product company or a consolidator they may have to put lot of marketing budgets to generate leads. Once leads are generated through marketing efforts they need to be distributed based on geo location to partners so that they can pursue the leads locally.
When you send a lead through an email and maintain lead status in an excel sheet, it will be very difficult to get the status from the partners. So the best way is to capture all the partner information in SugarCRM and assign the leads to partners and expose the leads to partners through partner portal. This way you can know whether they have accessed the information and at regular intervals you can see how many leads were assigned and how many were in active and how many are converted.
In SugarCRM you can create reports that will tell the performance of each partner. For one of the customers we have created a workflow whereby if a lead is not attended to within 48 hours it is automatically allocated to another partner who is performing well. With Partner Portal you can streamline your partner lead allocation and their performance. The dollars spent on Marketing are well spent with better lead conversion
Many manufacturing companies have implemented ERP to optimize their deliveries. The whole manufacturing industry has spent the last 2 decades to optimise and automate their manufacturing processes and their logistics and deliveries.
Most of them also have a Partner who sell their products. Since SAP or any other ERP is a strict application, many companies do not give logins to their sales people and partners. But an integration of SugarCRM with their ERP to show their inventory helps the sales team to book orders. However having an Order Booking for distributors helps them in taking the orders quickly and push to the inhouse ERPs for delivery.
At the same time sales team can see the progress of the order and distributor or partner can see the same in the partner portal. This helps in avoiding month end and quarter end rush for order acceptance if it is done manually.
