NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 01/14/13 — Corporation, a global leader in for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, today introduced Epicor Retail CRM 7.0, the newest retail customer engagement tool in the market leader-s product portfolio that offers streamlined customer views and robust loyalty functionality for simpler, more automated (CRM) program management.
Completely redesigned, Epicor Retail CRM 7.0 allows retailers to leverage customer data and loyalty program-generated content and simplifies CRM tasks for all retail personnel — from the executive suite to the selling floor. The newly revamped Epicor Retail CRM 7.0 solution boasts comprehensive loyalty program automation, sophisticated query tools, and support for the needs of today-s multidivisional retail enterprise.
With Epicor Retail CRM 7.0, loyalty program functionality is automated, eliminating manual processes to save retailers time and effort. As retailers set rules for different loyalty program tiers, Epicor Retail CRM 7.0 automatically upgrades, downgrades, terminates or renews membership types. This allows for more flexibility in loyalty program design, and supports more timely and accurate membership data as qualifications change in real-time. Additionally, it enables personnel to focus on more significant value-added loyalty program tasks.
Epicor also brings new query tools to market in its latest CRM offering; these tools are the heart of the system — used to select which customers to run queries on for targeting purposes. Based on a new, graphical flow chart design, querying now includes step-by-step counts of customers so users can see how each criteria selected or identified affects list counts. Designed for visual thinkers, the tool is easy to understand and relate to, offers faster debugging of list criteria if anticipated customer counts do not materialize, and tasks that previously required multiple queries can now be achieved via a single request.
Finding one CRM solution that offers support for multiple divisions and/or multiple brands is a key requirement for many retailers today. With true multidivisional support right out of the box and no customization required, Epicor Retail CRM 7.0 gives retailers a complete omni-channel and holistic view of customers across brands, channels and continents. Information resides in a single database with the option to limit access as desired — providing the ability to isolate customer information for security purposes or integrate it across divisions or geographies. This single view of the customer across divisions and brands reduces effort and time required to maintain multiple databases, offers franchise markets exposure to true CRM capabilities, and provides a foundation for Epicor to support multi-tenant CRM.
“From a new user interface built on an Epicor Retail SOA foundation to an overall more modern look, feel and robust new functionality on all levels, Epicor Retail CRM 7.0 will truly transform how retailers work with and consider all things CRM,” said Dave Burton, product director CRM and services, Epicor. “Multi-division capabilities open up a whole new world of possibilities to many retailers who currently operate without a holistic view of customers across their brand family, while new query functionality and loyalty automation will astound CRM power users and make ramp-up easy for -CRM newbies.-“
