CRM from a Supply Chain Perspective

Winning CRM strategies focus the right responses on the priorities of the right customers. Everybody created equal doesn’t work for customer success. Companies just don’t have enough resources to provide phenomenal service to every single customer related to every single SKU. It may sound like a sacrilege, but, when resources are focused on the best profit-generating customers (not as a percentage, but in actual number of total dollars), both revenues and profits grow dramatically. And at the same time, the drama that disrupts customer relationships drops off to virtually nothing. Simply...

Strategi CRM yang efektif berfokus pada memberikan respons yang tepat kepada pelanggan prioritas, bukan memperlakukan semua pelanggan secara setara. Hal ini karena perusahaan tidak memiliki sumber daya yang cukup untuk melayani semua pelanggan dengan tingkat layanan yang sama. Dengan mengutamakan pelanggan yang memberikan keuntungan terbesar dalam jumlah total dolar, perusahaan dapat meningkatkan pendapatan dan keuntungan secara signifikan, sambil mengurangi gangguan dalam hubungan pelanggan. Pelanggan yang menghasilkan keuntungan besar biasanya lebih dapat diprediksi, sehingga perusahaan bisa mengurangi persediaan cadangan, pengiriman mendesak, dan pengembalian barang, yang semuanya berkontribusi pada efisiensi dan profitabilitas. 

Tantangan dalam manajemen hubungan pelanggan (CRM) adalah memahami nilai aktual dan potensial dari setiap pelanggan terkait dengan biaya memuaskan mereka. Hal ini memerlukan evaluasi terus-menerus terhadap biaya, preferensi layanan, dan prioritas pelanggan. Tidak semua pelanggan membutuhkan tingkat layanan yang sama, dan fokus pada segmen pelanggan yang menguntungkan dapat mendukung pertumbuhan yang lebih cepat dan berkelanjutan. Meskipun mengukur profitabilitas pelanggan bukanlah hal mudah, pendekatan segmentasi ini terbukti efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil akhir perusahaan, meskipun tidak selalu populer di kalangan tim penjualan yang harus mengelola pelanggan dengan kontribusi laba yang lebih rendah.

2014 to Be 'Year of the Distribution Center' - and Here Are Four Reasons Why

“2014 is starting off with high demand from e-commerce and other users who are in the market for large, sophisticated space, and lots of it,” said Craig Meyer, president of Industrial Brokerage at JLL. “This will make 2014 the 'year of the distribution center.' Modern space with proximity to population centers and a robust logistics infrastructure will dominate the industrial real estate sector in 2014.”
JLL anticipates the overall national vacancy rate will settle at a cyclical low of 7.5 percent in 2014. Here are four trends driving this momentum:

Five Trends to Look for This Year in Supply Chain Operations

Five Trends to Look for This Year in Supply Chain Operations | Supply Chain & Transportation | Scoop.it
Considerable publicity has surrounded manufacturing as a “savior,” with the potential of bringing economies of entire countries back from the brink of the last financial crisis. Output and asset efficiency have increased while waste and response times have been reduced.
But what about the supply chain? Clearly its role is intertwined within the improved productivity and product proliferation now virtually expected by consumers in the automotive, consumer goods and life sciences industries. Yet most of the public discussion has focused on the “end producer” or the manufacturer that is...
Warniancy Ariesty's curator insight, November 10, 2024 11:46 AM
Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, manufaktur telah dianggap sebagai "penyelamat" yang mampu menghidupkan kembali perekonomian negara setelah krisis keuangan. Produktivitas dan efisiensi aset meningkat, sementara limbah dan waktu respons berkurang. Namun, peran rantai pasokan sering diabaikan, padahal rantai pasokan sangat terkait dengan peningkatan produktivitas ini. Tren baru menunjukkan bahwa investasi dalam teknologi informasi untuk memperbaiki visibilitas real-time di lantai pabrik juga akan mendorong integrasi dan kolaborasi yang lebih dalam antara produsen dan pemasok. Pemasok yang bersedia berbagi data inventaris dan kinerja mereka akan mendapat manfaat lebih besar dalam hubungan bisnis dengan Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), menciptakan peluang kerjasama yang lebih baik. 

Pada tahun-tahun mendatang, akan ada peningkatan fokus pada kolaborasi dan integrasi yang lebih erat antara produsen dan rantai pasokan, didorong oleh kebutuhan untuk mempercepat peluncuran produk global dan meningkatkan efisiensi. Tren penggunaan analitik, Big Data, dan teknologi cloud akan terus berkembang, memberikan akses data yang tepat kepada mitra rantai pasokan, serta mengurangi pemborosan dan waktu respons terhadap perubahan pasar. Kompleksitas peluncuran produk yang terus meningkat menuntut visibilitas yang lebih baik di seluruh rantai pasokan. Organisasi yang berhasil menguasai kolaborasi ini akan mendapatkan keunggulan kompetitif, pangsa pasar, dan keuntungan yang lebih besar, memicu transformasi signifikan dalam rantai pasokan yang sebanding dengan revolusi yang telah terjadi di sektor manufaktur.
