Its mandate to take 360 degree visibility on different channels of your Channel Tier, so that you come to know easily about the achievements on an average yearly on your channel sales.

What is Channel Management ?

Channel management is a mechanism for selecting the most productive channels to market your products and services, and formulating the best results from those channels by using different financial, marketing or training tools.

Previously, tracking exact channel sales was a very complex task, where we need to track the total Inward and outward of our products at the micro level.  It was difficult to track each retailer, dealer and distributor sales on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product provider but with the use of CRM, it’s very simple to track each dealer and distributor’s progress and contribution to your Product and Service Sales.

Channel management will help you to develop a program for selling the product and providing services to the customers within specific channels. The aim of channel management is to streamline the communication between you and your customers. 

The goal of this is to establish direct communication with the customers with each and every channel. If the company is able to achieve this goal effectively, then the management will have a better idea of which marketing channel suits better for the specific customer base. The techniques used in each channel will be different, but the overall strategy must be consistent throughout the communication.

SalesBabu CRM for Dealer and Distributors is a robust approach to track and maintain entire activities related to Channel Management. For managing Dealer and Distribution tier, it is necessary that we need a Lucrative Inventory and Purchase Management to track total Inward GRN’s and outward GRN’s of product at Channel level.

Examples of Channel Management: 

• Sales Management – Sales management involves how you manage the sales and also other partners. This might also include the things like what incentives you will provide for driving the sales. 

• Sales and operations planning – This method involves how much time you take to match the goods or services that you are producing with the general demand. For instance, If you have a product or service which is more popular during a certain period of time in the year, you need to increase the production. 

• Distribution – Distribution is focused on how you will deliver on the obligations to both customers and channel partners. For example, this might include properly managed logistics like exchanges on the products and returns.

• Channel strategy – Channel strategy involves your distribution and sales, a blueprint of how you plan to expand your market, and what specific action plans you put in the place to improve the channel of e-commerce.

• Channel conflict – If you are using an e-commerce solution that helps to undercut your affiliates, you must also address the conflicts. When designing the channels, you need to carefully pay attention so that one channel will not create conflict for any other channels.
