Customer Quotes

“Additionally, the new CRM system significantly reduced the burden on our IT department and made us able radically to accelerate the resolution of requirements for further customisation. Not to mention the fact that 80% of change requests can be managed by our business administrators without incurring external cost.”

“LLP helped us to improve some of our business processes and to optimise our use of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Thanks to that, we developed a more systematic approach to sales management. We also collected a great deal of market data, which, in turn, our sales team were able to use greatly to boost both sales and client satisfaction.”

“LLP team managed to solve all the problems that we were facing. The standard solution was tailored to fit all our needs. Where I see the key benefit is the team’s complex view on customer relationship issues.”

“Our goal was to combine and streamline sales and marketing management, including integration with other systems that we’ve used at Benzina for a long time. We were looking for a complex solution which would at the same time be easily scalable in the future. Our users’ experience confirms that we could not have chosen better.”

“The Dynamics 365 CRM implementation by LLP CRM team was not a one-time issue for Scania as the ambition was to launch a complex sales management solution integrating several company systems so that the salesmen had all necessary information in one place. Given the key role of CRM, system development never ends. However, I dare say that over time, together with LLP CRM, we have succeeded in fulfilling the ambition we had with the Dynamics 365 solution. Salesmen throughout the CER (Central European Region) were given a tool to increase their customer awareness and the possibility of working with them more effectively, and their management were given a BI tool. Since business in our industry takes place primarily in the field, some salespeople appreciate working with CRM via the mobile application. Our immediate goal is to start using Dynamics 365 CRM for our new emerging call center.”
