Heating up global growth

Pipeline management is critical as well as complex in an organisation with sales staff in more than 100 countries. A better CRM system is one of the initiatives that has helped Alfa Laval optimise the sales pipeline and increase customer loyalty around the globe.

The effective management of the Lead to Order process inside and across Alfa Laval Sales Clusters is absolutely critical, hence Alfa Laval formed the Right Sales IT Program to meet increasing demands from both Customers and Channel Partners (as well as internal Sales Representatives) for execution of more effective sales processes, which demanded for utilization of more state-of-the-art sales tools and applications.
