Solving the Biggest Challenges in Packaging Supply Chains

Build Orders Quickly

When you’re taking orders over the phone or by email, speed and accuracy are key. Prospect CRM’s intelligent product search lets your team find any item – regardless of how it’s described. If a customer asks for "small white boxes", the CRM will return all matching results, even if the product title is “Small Rectangle Box - White - 111mm x 82mm x 43mm”.

This flexible search functionality ensure your reps can easily handle a large product portfolio, while still able to add items to quotes or orders quickly, reducing friction and improving the buying experience for your customers.

Protect Key Accounts

High-value customers like third-party logistics providers and product manufacturers expect a high level of service – and losing them to neglect can be costly.

Prospect CRM uses RFM analysis to flag declining customer engagement. So, if a major account hasn’t placed an order in a while, the system can trigger a Missing Order Alert and schedule follow-up reminders for your sales team. With built-in email templates, you can easily start re-engagement or renewal conversations before it’s too late to win them back.

Anticipate Seasonal Peaks

Promotions that cause influxes in B2C sales such as summer sales, Black Friday and Christmas, results in a spike in customers needing to stock up on their packaging.

Prospect CRMs advanced Reporting and Forecasting tools analyse historical sales data to help you predict seasonal surges. Integrated with your back-office system, the CRM gives you real-time inventory visibility – so your sales team knows exactly what’s in stock and can make informed promises to customers, reducing over-ordering and missed sales opportunities.

Keep Cashflow Clear

Extended payment terms for clients can sometimes lead to disputes or cashflow strain. With Prospect CRM integrated to your accounting system, your sales team has full visibility into customer credit limits, outstanding balances, and payment terms. This transparency supports accurate, informed conversations about payment options.

For one-off or cash customers, the CRM also supports credit card payments, offering flexibility while keeping your finances in check.

Improve Inventory & Demand Forecasting

Trends can fluctuate for packaging suppliers, so keeping on top of the correlation between stock levels and sales is important. Prospect CRM ensures that you’re confident in your forecasts and that your Sales team are promising accurate stock availability during every sale to increase customer satisfaction.

Create Stronger Partnerships with Customers

Share insights gathered from CRM data with key retail partners to optimise your relationships, or refer to your CRM to understand customer preferences. When you understand the market you sell to, you can refine your approach to sales with personalised content that engages and provides value to your customers.

Optimise After-Sales Support

Set automated follow-ups after sales to ensure satisfaction and gather feedback, encouraging long-term engagement that can be tracked through the CRM. Using Problem Tracking software and Customer Segmentation tools, you can turn issues into opportunities to exceed expectations.
