CRM IN MECHANICAL AND PLANT ENGINEERING
Strengths in a nutshell.
With CRM for mechanical and plant engineering, you always have both customers and machines in view
- the cooperation of employees, partners and suppliers is simplified
- Office and field staff are in contact at all times and from any location, whether regional, national or international
- Service calls and maintenance processes are organized reliably and quickly, which satisfies your customers

Tight supply chains, competitive pressure from Asia, and
Increase in exports despite crisis
According to the VDMA, the machinery and plant engineering sector managed to increase its machinery exports by more than 20% in the last half of 2021 – despite the logistics bottlenecks caused by the pandemic, the associated shortage of materials and despite the high pressure from the world export champion China. One reason for this positive development lies primarily in the increasing digitization, seen as an opportunity for the development of new business models.
New business models often require a new kind of teamwork among employees, suppliers and partners across company boundaries. But there is also an improvement in internal processes, because employees have to organize themselves differently and work more closely with partners abroad. What is needed, therefore, are appropriate communication options. The forms of communication to customers and interested parties must also be adapted to the new circumstances. CRM in mechanical and plant engineering offers support here with its modules and functions.
Customer and machine over 360° in view
In mechanical and plant engineering, operational processes are particularly dependent on fast response times and precise information. If a machine is paralyzed, this can interfere with the entire production process. This makes it all the more important to keep a close eye on customers and machines in order to be able to react as quickly and precisely as possible in the event of an emergency.
Efficient internal processes, service & maintenance processes
Optimized sales and service processes not only help keep track of the situation, they also ensure fast and reliable organization. Your customer will thank you if you deal with service cases quickly and perform maintenance reliably. Know exactly who is needed where and when – this is how you ensure customer satisfaction.
Consistent processes
As in many industries, international corporations are not uncommon in plant and mechanical engineering. Transparent processes across nations are particularly important to ensure that communication within the company runs smoothly. Workflows, multilingual templates and optimized processes help you to achieve this. In addition, with our mobile CRM app information can be exchanged worldwide in the shortest possible time.
Differentiated evaluations for targeted insights
Whether it’s process optimization, opportunity or forecast: With our CRM Software for mechanical and plant engineering, you not only collect a wealth of data – such as through automated time recording – with Dashboards and Reports you also have a wide range of options for evaluating it.
