In our initiative to enhance customer communication and professionalism, we aim to gather vital customer information like contact details, roles, services, history, and communication plans. The challenge lies in simplifying these complex data sets. Managing customer relations requires a unified tool that aligns with our communication and service goals. We are currently faced with fragmented user administration systems, support ticketing, and service provision tools. The upcoming "Member’s Portal" aims to streamline these processes, particularly for communication departments that seek efficient information management and event tracking. However, challenges persist in information accuracy, communication transparency, and workflow optimization. To address these issues, we need a comprehensive CRM strategy that leverages existing data resources and enhances user experience. The implementation may bring about time and cost savings, improved reporting, and better data utilization for operational efficiency.
