     Web Based Customer Relation Management System

  CHAPTER ONE

1.1   INTRODUCTION

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is an information industry term for methodologies, software, and usually internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage customer relations in an organized way.

For example, an enterprise might build a database about its customers that described relationship in sufficient detail so that management of the organization, salespeople, people providing services and perhaps the customer directly could access information that matches customers need with product plans and offerings, remind customers of services requirement, know that other products a customer had purchased and so on.

1.2   GOALS OF CUSTOMER RELATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CRMS)

·        Relevance: The CRM developer should identify one important priority that requires investment in computer and/or human resources. The developer then proposes a specific initiative that addresses this priority. The resource should meaningfully address the issues and opportunities facing the organization for instance, billing system that only processes individual invoices may not be relevant in a world of complication payment options.

·        Accuracy: Any system that relies on estimating financial data is allowed a range of estimation error. The resources should compile and report summary data in a logistically accurate fashion. For example, sales orders are initial recorded in the field or over the telephone retrospective data input procedure are often notoriously inaccurate.

·        Validity: The underlying systemic assumptions should be consistent with the nature of the organization’s business. For instance, a financial accounting program, that calculates costs per unit in accordance with traditional retail product transaction may not be valid for private services contracts. Though the cost information may be relevant, and the calculations may be accurate. The nature of the information may be invalid for purposes of managing a service business.

·        Reliability: The information should be made available when expected. Many companies have failed to develop flat fee guaranteed services contracts because they could be process cost and utilization on a reliable basis and thus could not decide in a prudent pricing schedule. A serious organization should have a 24 hours service provider.for example every ISP should run steady.

·        Accessibility: The appropriate end user should get to the information when needed. The world’s finest internet based application may be useless if its cable connection or dial-up modem is constantly off-line if employees do not understand how to develop data queries.

·        Speed: The information should be able to be analyzed and conclusion drawn quickly enough to justify the investment in maintaining the management information system. For instance, end users must be able to retrieve, review, revise and replicate information within minutes.

·        Cost: The resources should be affordable to the organization and/or users of the system. Affordable must encompass all the benefits and costs of the CRM system, strategy such as the benefits derived from becoming more efficient and the costs required to train employees to use the new system developed.

1.3     BACKGROUND THE OF STUDY

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system came into existence when companies were intent on developing stronger bonds with their customer. According to [Kenbrell, (2002)], CRM is the process of managing detailed information about individual customers and carefully managing all customer “touch point” to maximize customer loyalty.

I-cell Telecommunication Nigeria Ltd is a telecommunication firm located in Nigeria. This telecommunication came up fully in existence in 2008, but due to manual way of organizing there customer relationship, I now decide to develop a web base application to enable the customer have effective and interactive interface.

It is impossible to state precisely what Customer Relationship Management (CRM) means to everyone. The term has been applied to almost every element to business that even remotely interacts with a customer. In its infancy, by [Kosh (2004)], CRM systems were a series of mainframe or server based applications specific to sales, marketing and support business functions.

The applications were lightweight by today’s standards and did little more than capture and file critical data. But as cultural boundaries within organizations weakened individual freedoms of information gave way to sophisticated applications that could open business functions. By doing so, these applications created the vision of a single view of the customer.

For the first time, organizations could track and analyze shifting customer needs, link marketing campaigns to sales results, and monitor sales activities for improved forecasting accuracy and manufacturing demands.

a.     Advance In The 1990s

In the 1990s, companies began to improve on customer relationship management by making it more of a two – way street, instead of simply gathering data for their own use, they began giving back to their customers not only in terms of the obvious goal of improved customer service, but in incentives, gifts and other perks for customer loyalty.

This was the beginning of the now familiar frequent flyer programs, booms point on credit cards and a host of other resources that are based on CRM tracking of customer activity and spending pattern. CRM was now being used as a way to increase sales passively as well as through active improvement of customer services.

b.    Future Developments

A material accessed on the website: http://www.wikipedia.com in May (2011), state the time had come where system are being moved from extranets to the internet. Customers have become a fully integrated participant in the value chain and have the same customer relation management systems access as manufacturers, supplies distributors, or facilitators.

In future, it is likely that reengineering principles will be incorporated further into customer management system. It is said that rather than organizing a firm into functional specialties and looking at the tasks that each function performs, we would be looking at complete processes from materials acquisition, to serve our subscribers, to marketing and distribution. More and more software will utilize this approach ultimately there will be fully integrated business information system in which all types of business information are seamlessly moved throughout the firm.
