The Challenge
Ahlsell, a leading wholesaler in the Nordic region, was seeking to implement a new CRM system. The company's primary focus is on electrical, plumbing, and HVAC supplies, tools, and equipment. The challenge was to find a system that would help its sales agents and sales managers achieve better alignment with senior management objectives. The company needed a solution that was flexible, easy to integrate with other supporting systems, and user-friendly.
