Introduction

Managing complex energy contracts is no simple task. Traditional CRM systems were built for generalized customer relationship management, but they often fail to accommodate the intricacies of energy contracts. For companies in the energy sector, contract lifecycle management is key to operational efficiency. One such company faced significant delays in contract approvals and struggled with customer retention due to an inefficient CRM solution. This is where AiSynapTech’s expertise in custom Salesforce solutions came into play. 

The Problem

The client, an established player in the energy sector, was facing inefficiencies with their generic CRM system. The platform simply couldn’t handle the specific demands of managing energy contracts, resulting in delays, manual errors, and frustrated clients. Their previous CRM was inflexible, lacked automation, and required extensive manual oversight, especially when managing multiple contract versions, terms, and approval workflows. Problem Description: 

Generic CRM platforms lacked energy-specific contract management tools.

Slow and manual contract approval processes.

A negative impact on customer retention due to delays in contract finalization.

Key Pain Points:
