Case Study

A smart Salesforce-based CRM solution for strong sales

With the introduction of Salesforce Sales Cloud, Nölle + Nordhorn was able to significantly optimize its sales processes and create a scalable solution that supports the company's growth.

Optimizing internal processes and strengthening customer service with a new CRM system

The scenario

An outdated system
slows down sales

Nölle + Nordhorn is a leading technical wholesaler, service provider and manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic components for industry. The existing CRM solution increasingly became a bottleneck for the growing company and its complex sales structures. The self-developed CRM system was outdated and, due to its limited functionality, was only used by the field service. Maintenance and further development of the system were expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, the existing software was unable to adequately map the dual role of dealer and producer. A new solution was needed.

The solution

Introduction of the Salesforce Sales Cloud

Arlanis Reply supported Nölle + Nordhorn in implementing the Salesforce Sales Cloud – a modern CRM solution that 95 percent of sales and office staff now use on a daily basis. After all, this solution fits the needs of the producer and retailer perfectly and seamlessly supports the entire sales process.

Thanks to lead and opportunity management, employees can now track sales opportunities in real time. Progress and status updates can be viewed at any time, which improves collaboration and decision-making.

All customer information – from contact details and purchase history to individual preferences – can now be accessed in one place. Marketing and field service benefit from a 360° view of their customers and can respond more quickly and in a more targeted manner.

With workflow rules, email templates and automatic task distribution, sales work could be significantly optimized. Less manual work means more time for direct customer contact.

The result

More efficient processes and increased productivity

The new Salesforce solution has not only optimized internal processes at Nölle + Nordhorn, but has also strengthened customer service, thereby creating the basis for further growth. The company now benefits from a future-proof, flexible and user-friendly way of working.
