Overview of the business

Their main sales target includes businesses and foreign individuals who are settled in the UAE.

Challenges faced by the business before Zoho

Absence of a lead management system

The company required a system or software that could help manage the leads better and assist the salespeople in turning the leads into sales. They needed a system that would keep them updated with the progress of the leads, assign the leads according to their needs, and effectively transform that lead into a sale.

No proper customer database collection system

There was an absence of a solution that could collect and keep all the customer data for reference. The work was done manually, and it would take too much time out of the time resource of the business, and even then, the data collected was not robust and not easy to access. The business would have greatly benefited from a system that properly recorded customer data from different sources.

No method for employee management

It was hard for the business to keep track of the performance of the employees and there was no system to measure the output of their work, especially in the case of the salespeople, who are the backbone of the currency exchange business. They wanted to keep track of the progress of the sales, assign jobs, and check updates whenever required with administrator access.

Lack of complaint registration system

When the customers registered a complaint or an issue with their payments or transaction there was no adaptive system which effectively managed everything and kept the customers notified of the progress of their issues or queries. Also, customer feedbacks were also not recorded in the system.

Accessibility for customers

It is always better if the customers have access to the different facilities of the business at the tip of their fingers. This ensures that customers can get the best of the business without going through doors and counters. In this case, the company wanted to provide services like complaint registration, registering as a customer, etc. that were easy to access and manage for the business.

Lack of tools for marketing

In the current era of digital marketing, there is absolutely a need for tools that can help businesses market themselves in cyberspace.
