Lighting systems manufacturer and designer WLS Companies needed a better CRM to help them get through their growing pains.
CRM for manufacturing and design companies
After building a foundation of 40 years strong in the lighting manufacturing and design business, WLS Companies needed a better way to manage their business relationships. They were growing and taking on a new list of clients for interior, exterior and custom lighting projects
At the time, Act! CRM simply wasn’t cutting it.
A CRM for manufacturing companies
Their initial list of options to consider had 30 CRMs. They had to whittle it down to one. Salesforce was eliminated from the competition because it wasn’t designed for what the lighting systems manufacturer and designer wanted to accomplish. It was also expensive.
In the end, they chose PipelineDeals which company leaders said tracks deals better than Salesforce and proved to be much more affordable along with the option of great customer support.
There were several features they felt fit their business. The most important was the fact they found PipelineDeals easy-to-use with the necessary reporting features.
During their evaluation process, WLS Companies leaders said there was one other thing that PipelineDeals CRM had that other CRM companies didn’t have: a commitment to building business relationships. It was a trait that made WLS Companies successful for more than four decades
