Rich Products Adopts the Next Generation of Customer + Channel Engagement
“I have a high degree of confidence in eLogic as a true business partner. They met all of my expectations and delivered on time and under budget.”
Program Manager
Rich Products
With roots as a customer-centric company and goals to grow their business and bottom line, Rich Products devised an entirely new sales strategy. To improve their market penetration and increase sales, they transitioned to a direct sales channel and hired an internal sales team, moving away from a broker-based model, to sell their broad array of specialty food products, recipes, and services. Their new sales team needed the tools and training to hit the ground running for an enterprise with multiple lines of business and $3 Billion in annual revenue.
A New Sales Strategy
​
Rich Products established an entirely new sales organization and needed a comprehensive platform to support their thousands of products, multiple sales channels, and several business groups globally, and integrate to SAP and other industry-specific marketing, sales, and database capabilities. Time to implement was critical to meet the sales channel transition and fiscal goals.
They chose to launch their new wave of customer and channel engagement with Microsoft Dynamics 365 as their platform, and eLogic as their partner based on depth of expertise in both Microsoft and SAP technologies. Leveraging hundreds of industry best practices, eLogic complemented the customer team with a rapid deployment that led to a strong base for business and geographic expansions.
​
With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Rich gained the ability to manage relationships and sales opportunities, improve efficiencies in the product lifecycle, have visibility into operations, and streamline sales processes with a unified structure across lines of business. And as part of their direct sales channel strategy, Rich’s leadership has full visibility into the activity of the sales reps and distributors who ship the products to customers.
