CRM is often thought of as a tool for sales and marketing. But in manufacturing, CRM plays a very different and even more critical role. From managing distributors and partners to forecasting demand and supporting after-sales service, a business CRM system can transform the way manufacturers operate.
Unique Challenges in Manufacturing
- Complex sales channels with distributors and partners
- Long sales cycles require detailed account visibility
- Demand forecasting tied to production planning
- After-sales support is critical to customer retention
Traditional CRMs don’t handle this complexity well. That’s why manufacturers need CRM platforms built for adaptability and integration.
