5 ProMRO Benefits for Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Customers
The real value of ProMRO is that your routine Sales, Operations, Production, and Finance processes are linked from start to finish. Our ProMRO and D365F/O PDF Factsheet provides more details.
1. Improve Sales Productivity
ProMRO allows you to efficiently move from the quote through sales to post-sales support. All activities are visible to your sales, customer service and shop floor teams. Your contacts, communications, and activities are conveniently accessible within the system. Your team can have a clear view of all activities with a customer and/or prospect through the lifecycle of the sale including shop quotes and approvals.
For post-sale questions, your customer service team will find the 360-degree view of the customer (including their job and equipment history) especially helpful. Sales Operations benefits include:
- Full Account, Contact and Quote Management
- Quote workflow streamlines estimate requests from any department that provides input or approvals
- Improve accuracy and quote speed
- Track, inquire, and view customers’ equipment history as well as record user-defined engineering values
- Satisfy every customer quote format with easy editing for simple and complex jobs
- Templates to include the services you offer
- Approval-controlled templates can be comprised of unlimited labor and parts
- Quick functionality to process parts-only sales
- Easy transformation of estimates to sales for small jobs
- Complete pick/pack/ship workflow to fulfill orders and track back orders
- Integrated Document Management
- KPI, Reporting and Dashboards
2. Operational Efficiencies
Once a quote is transformed into a project in ProMRO, you get unparalleled transparency to both the shop floor and the customer. ProMRO includes defined Service Profiles so your time estimates, labor types, material estimates and miscellaneous expenses are already planned out. The shop floor will know what was sold and what services need to be accomplished by having clearly defined tasks (task cards for aviation) to be followed within a project to monitor the budget in real time. You will be able to easily identify whether a task was started, how long was spent on it, who charged the time, and when.
Service Profiles functionality includes the following benefits:
- Templates to standardize how you quote work
- Services can be priced at standard or customer-specific rates
- Accurate costs of Services allow you to profitably price your work
- Prospect-friendly quote language can be added to each service
- Activities can include labor, materials, and miscellaneous expenses
- All required tasks, time estimates, and actuals are clearly visible
- Dashboards help monitor your profitability by service type, equipment type, make and model
- Dashboards help identify problems quickly to help prevent any costly end-of-job surprises
- Track services and profits in real-time
