CRM & Quotation Management Module
From fragmented enquiries to a workflow-driven commercial engine
Overview
Centralized customer acquisition and commercial approval lifecycle — replacing Excel quotes, email approvals and manual coordination with an ERP-driven commercial system.
Brief summary
The case study at a glance
A quick read distilled from the full 15-page case study — the problem, what HERB delivered and the outcomes that mattered.
Replaced fragmented Excel quotes, email approvals and phone-based enquiry tracking with an ERP-driven commercial system spanning enquiry → site survey → quotation → approval → contract → sales order.
Smart quotation engine handles equipment-wise pricing with transport, fuel, operator, OT and standby logic — eliminating manual price calculations and pricing errors.
Multi-level approval workflow with discount controls, exception handling and a full digital audit trail — no quotation issued without sign-off.
Integrated with Engineering (site surveys / load charts), Operations (equipment availability), Finance (credit validation) and Document Management (LPO + contracts).
Outcomes: 70% faster quotation turnaround, 60% less approval lag, 100% of the sales pipeline digitized, fewer lost enquiries and stronger margin control.
Business challenges
What the customer was facing before HERB.
Decentralized enquiries
Phone, WhatsApp, email and walk-ins — no centralized tracking, lost follow-ups.
Manual quotations
Excel-based quotes with pricing errors, no version control and slow approvals.
No approval workflow
No rate approval hierarchy, uncontrolled discounts, no audit trail.
No credit visibility
Quotations issued without visibility of outstanding dues — financial risk exposure.
Interdepartmental delays
Manual coordination across Engineering, Operations and Finance caused quotation delays.
