Nordmann: How can a newly harmonized CRM landscape be designed to evolve flexibly with business needs?
How can a newly harmonized CRM
landscape be designed to evolve
flexibly with business needs?
Nordmann, Rassmann GmbH is an internationally successful chemical distribution group.
Founded in 1912 and still family owned, the company distributes natural and chemical
raw materials, additives, and specialty chemicals from its 24 subsidiaries in Europe, Asia,
and North America. Nordmann is part of Georg Nordmann Holding Aktiengesellschaft.
Around 300 salespeople support these operations, but the team struggled with diverse,
disconnected customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. To help them work
together more efficiently, Nordmann wanted to standardize the CRM landscape and unify
sales processes across the globe. And to ensure any software deployed could grow with
the company, the chemical distributor sought the input of solution experts.
Through consultation with experts on current and future software
features and CRM best practices
