Specialist for adhesive technology relies on CRM support

Once again, an abas user opts for SMARTCRM

The Riewoldt GmbH:

Manufacture and sales of self-adhesive products
Converting for well-known manufacturers of the adhesive industry

SMARTCRM at Riewoldt:

First introduction of a CRM system
Modules: Basis, Sales, Projects, Offline
15 licenses
Bidirectional connection to abas ERP
Implementation in sales back office and field service

Requirements and project goals:

Well-developed interface to abas ERP
Statistical analyses per drill-down up to the product level
Complete customer file with full activity history
Optimal project tracking thanks to full project information

For Riewoldt GmbH, specialist for adhesive technology, key in the decision was the long-term partnership with abas. Our CRM system supports the sales staff in field service as well as in back office.

SMARTCRM and abas – strong combination thanks to the standard interface

Since Riewoldt has been using abas ERP and we, as cooperation partner, provide a preconfigured standard interface to this ERP system, the connection to SMARTCRM was quickly and easily carried out. Sales figures, order backlog and quotations, among other things, are imported in the CRM system over the interface and, enhanced with the corresponding customer data, made available centrally in one system. SMARTCRM evaluates the current statistical information and provides drill-down analyses at multiple levels – from the entire company to the individual product. This way, Riewoldt can visualize for instance the current sales figures of a customer at any time, draw year-on-year comparisons and detect trends at an early stage. Moreover the employees keep always an eye on the overall turnover of one product or the sales figures per customer and thereof can deduce appropriate sales strategies.

Complete view on the projects

In addition, Riewoldt manages its projects in the CRM system. In the project file, the contact as well as the complete communication concerning the project can be seen at a glance. If the customer wishes the manufacture of adhesive tape in individual measurements, Riewoldt produces the corresponding model. These specific model deliveries are also noted in the project file.

Optimal field service connection

With SMARTCRM, the connection of the field service employees should be improved, as they can access all CRM information offline using their notebooks. This way, they are fully informed even on the roads when visiting a customer. After the visit, they can record their report directly in SMARTCRM, so that information or tasks are promptly available to the colleagues in back office.

The Riewoldt GmbH located in Cologne, Germany, manufactures and sales auto-adhesive products. After the long-term collaboration with the tesa SE, the company is one of four German tesa industrie and converting partners since 2011. Auto-adhesive technology for different applications constitutes the focus of both business divisions: wholesale trade and converting. The state-of-the-art cutting and punching technologies guarantee modern and technically demanding work. The company is certified DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
