The following series will cover a wide range of helpful B2B integration protocols for B2B companies of all types. First and foremost, B2B integration with an ERP and CRM system is crucial. Here’s why: B2B integration with ERP According to a recent survey of B2B operators, many people have already tried at least one B2B integration solution. Potential barriers to B2B integration solutions, with special regard to ERP systems, are cost, security, and ease of use. That’s why it’s so important to choose a seasoned ERP integration company. The right B2B ERP integration company can keep development costs low, build in state-of-the-art security features, and teach you and your company how to ensure compliance and ease of use. ERP integration can automate most B2B processes, including supply chain management, shipping, accounting, customer relationships, and much more. B2B integration with CRM CRM integration creates a powerful bridge between sales and marketing, allowing for form integration to automatically capture leads, and providing sales people with an easy means of following up on these leads. A powerful CRM system is an integral component of any successful B2B integration. Most ERP systems have already converged with CRM systems, recognizing the need for an all-in-one solution with regards to automating both business processes and customer relationships. While an ERP system automates many of your internal resources, a CRM system brings the same efficiency to your company’s external behavior. CRM systems can help you capture and follow up with leads, respond to ticket requests, manage challenges, and value your customer. B2B Lead Management solutions with ERP and CRM It is a myth that relationship management is only important in B2C companies. In fact, given tight niches and small audiences, nurturing leads and existing relationships is even more important for B2B companies than for B2C. CRM integration creates a powerful bridge between sales and marketing, allowing for form integration to automatically capture leads, and providing sales people with an easy means of following up on these leads. With CRM integration, you won’t have to let a single relationship slip through the cracks. Find out more about Clarity VenturesSee our Enterprise Web portfolio
