Yahya Uswaturrasul, Sales & Marketing Manager of PT Intan Safety Glass, revealed that the rapidly growing construction industry in Indonesia has created a need for a system that is able to manage data effectively.
Yahya explained that the manual process using Microsoft Office and Google has limitations, such as inflexibility in data input, a less user-friendly display, and memory capacity problems.
"With high daily transaction volumes and diverse customer profiles, the Sales & Marketing team faces difficulties in monitoring business metrics and making quick decisions," said Yahya. — Yahya Uswaturrasul
As a developing country, the condition of the building industry in Indonesia is moving quite quickly, considering the large number of buildings being constructed in various regions, both in big cities and in other areas.
This industry continues to develop, giving rise to competitors and increasingly fierce competition. To face this challenge, PT Intan Safety Glass feels the need to more closely monitor sales activities at all times.
This is so that you can take quick action when needed and can be leading in the market.
"This industry is growing very fast, and competition is getting tighter. With so many buying and selling transactions for building materials, including glass, we feel there is a need for a feature that can collect and manage data centrally," said Yahya. — Yahya Uswaturrasul
Before using Barantum, the PT Intan Safety Glass team tried to build their own system using platforms such as Microsoft and Google. However, these solutions have limitations in terms of input flexibility and memory capacity.
"Our end-to-end sales process is quite long in the administrative section, as well as a fairly wide product range. Apart from that, it is less flexible in inputting data. Because you have to use a PC/Laptop. "Meanwhile, at some point, the team has to go to the field to check the project directly," he said. — Yahya Uswaturrasul
According to him, visually, Microsoft/Google's appearance is not user-friendly. "It is for this reason that we chose to start using CRM and coincidentally so far Barantum can cover our needs as a team, as well as mine personally as a manager," he added.
