The operation of efficy CRM.

“The efficy CRM solution is installed on a server and synchronized with the AS/400 overnight. It is important to understand that the applicable CRM information – about one million lines per session – is analyzed whilst transferring from the AS/400 to the IBM server where efficy is stored.

A summary of the analysis is then fed into the CRM solution and made available to the sales force at Corsendonk. First of all, this allows Corsendonk’s management to retrieve detailed information for operational purposes, and secondly, at the same time the sales force has tailor-made information at their fingertips with which they can hit the road the next day.”

Corsendonk set out to streamline their sales department and ended up by adding credit collection to the professional CRM solution provided by efficy.

“We really got more than we bargained for. The future for Corsendonk lies in the successful continuation of brewing some of Belgium’s top beers for the millions of beer connoisseurs around the world” Keersmaekers said. “efficy CRM is now an essential part of our success story.”
