INTRODUCTION
Customer relationship management
Customer relationship management(CRM) is a widely implemented model for managing a
companys interactions with customers, clients, and sales prospects. It involves using technology
to organize, automate, and synchronize business processesprincipally sales activities, but also
those for marketing, customerservice, and technicalsupport.The overall goals are to find, attract,
and win new clients; nurture and retain those the company already has; entice former clients
back into the fold; and reduce the costs of marketing and client service.Customer relationship
management describes a company-wide business strategy including customer-interface
departments as well as other departments. Measuring and valuing customer relationships is
critical to implementing this strategy.

Benefits of Customer Relationship Management
A Customer Relationship Management system may be chosen because it is thought to provide
the following advantages:
Quality and efficiency
Decrease in overall costs

Challenges
Successful development, implementation, use and support of customer relationship management
systems can provide a significant advantage to the user, but often there are obstacles that obstruct




the user from using the system to its full potential. Instances of a CRM attempting to contain a
large, complex group of data can become cumbersome and difficult to understand for ill-trained
users. The lack of senior management sponsorship can also hinder the success of a new CRM
system. Stakeholders must be identified early in the process and a full commitment is needed
from all executives before beginning the conversion. But the challenges faced by the company
will last longer for the convenience of their customers.
Additionally, an interface that is difficult to navigate or understand can hinder the CRMs
effectiveness, causing users to pick and choose which areas of the system to be used, while
others may be pushed aside. This fragmented implementation can cause inherent challenges, as
only certain parts are used and the system is not fully functional. The increased use of customer
relationship management software has also led to an industry-wide shift in evaluating the role of
the developer in designing and maintaining its software. Companies are urged to consider the
overall impact of a viable CRM software suite and the potential for good or bad in its use.

Complexity
Tools and workflows can be complex, especially for large businesses. Previously these tools
were generally limited to simple CRM solutions which focused on monitoring and recording
interactions and communications. Software solutions then expanded to embrace deal tracking,
territories, opportunities, and the sales pipeline itself. Next came the advent of tools for other
client-interface business functions, as described below. These tools have been, and still are,
offered as on-premises software that companies purchase and run on their own IT infrastructure.

Poor usability
One of the largest challenges that customer relationship management systems face is
poor usability. With a difficult interface for a user to navigate, implementation can be
fragmented or not entirely complete.
The importance of usability in a system has developed over time.Customers are likely not as
patient to work through malfunctions or gaps in user safety, and there is an expectation that the
usability of systems should be somewhat intuitive: it helps make the machine an extension of
the way I think not how it wants me to think.
An intuitive design can prove most effective in developing the content and layout of a customer
relationship management system. Two 2008 case studies show that the layout of a system
provides a strong correlation to the ease of use for a system and that it proved more beneficial for
the design to focus on presenting information in a way that reflected the most important goals




and tasks of the user, rather than the structure of the organization. This ease of service is
paramount for developing a system that is usable.
In many cases, the growth of capabilities and complexities of systems has hampered the usability
of a customer relationship management system. An overly complex computer system can result
in an equally complex and non-friendly user interface, thus not allowing the system to work as
fully intended.This bloated software can appear sluggish and/or overwhelming to the user,
keeping the system from full use and potential. A series of 1998 research indicates that each item
added to an information display can significantly affect the overall experience of the user.

Fragmentation
Often, poor usability can lead to implementations that are fragmented isolated initiatives by
individual departments to address their own needs. Systems that start disunited usually stay that
way: [soloed thinking] and decision processes frequently lead to separate and incompatible
systems, and dysfunctional processes.
A fragmented implementation can negate any financial benefit associated with a customer
relationship management system, as companies choose not to use all the associated features
factored when justifying the investment. Instead, it is important that support for the CRM system
is companywide. The challenge of fragmented implementations may be mitigated with
improvements in late-generation CRM systems.

Business reputation
Building and maintaining a strong business reputation has become increasingly challenging. The
outcome of internal fragmentation that is observed and commented upon by customers is now
visible to the rest of the world in the era of the social customer; in the past, only employees or
partners were aware of it. Addressing the fragmentation requires a shift in philosophy and mind-
set in an organization so that everyone considers the impact to the customer of policy, decisions
and actions. Human response at all levels of the organization can affect the customer experience
for good or ill. Even one unhappy customer can deliver a body blow to a business.
Some developments and shifts have made companies more conscious of the life-cycle of a
customer relationship management system. Companies now consider the possibility of brand
loyalty and persistence of its users to purchase updates, upgrades and future editions of software.
Additionally, CRM systems face the challenge of producing viable financial profits, with a 2002
study suggesting that less than half of CRM projects are expected to provide a significant return




on investment. Poor usability and low usage rates lead many companies to indicate that it was
difficult to justify investment in the software without the potential for more tangible gains.

Security, privacy and data security concerns
One function of CRM is to collect information about clients. It is important to consider the
customers' need for privacy and data security. Close attention should be paid to relevant laws and
regulations. Vendors may need to reassure clients that their data not be shared with third parties
without prior consent, and that illegal access can be prevented.
A large challenge faced by developers and users is found in striking a balance between ease of
use in the CRM interface and suitable and acceptable security measures and features.
Corporations investing in CRM software do so expecting a relative ease of use while also
requiring that customer and other sensitive data remain secure. This balance can be difficult, as
many believe that improvements in security come at the expense of system usability.
Research and study show the importance of designing and developing technology that balances a
positive user interface with security features that meet industry and corporate standards. A 2002
study shows, however, that security and usability can coexist harmoniously. In many ways, a
secure CRM system can become more usable.
Researchers have argued that, in most cases, security breaches are the result of user-error (such
as unintentionally downloading and executing a computer virus). In these events, the computer
system acted as it should in identifying a file and then, following the users orders to execute the
file, exposed the computer and network to a harmful virus. Researchers argue that a more usable
system creates less confusion and lessens the amount of potentially harmful errors, in turn
creating a more secure and stable CRM system.
Technical writers can play a large role in developing content management systems that are
secure and easy to use. A series of 2008 research shows that CRM systems, among others, need
to be more open to flexibility of technical writers, allowing these professionals to become
content builders.These professionals can then gather information and use it at their preference,
developing a system that allows users to easily access desired information and is secure and
trusted by its users.

Types/variations




Sales force automation
Sales force automation (SFA) involves using software to streamline all phases of the sales
process, minimizing the time that sales representatives need to spend on each phase. This allows
a business to use fewer sales representatives to manage their clients. At the core of SFA is
a contact management system for tracking and recording every stage in the sales process for each
prospective client, from initial contact to final disposition. Many SFA applications also include
insights into opportunities, territories, sales forecasts and workflow automation.

Marketing
CRM systems for marketing help the enterprise identify and target potential clients and generate
leads for the sales team. A key marketing capability is tracking and measuring multichannel
campaigns, including email, search, social media, telephone and direct mail. Metrics monitored
include clicks, responses, leads, deals, and revenue. Alternatively, Prospect Relationship
Management (PRM) solutions offer to track customer behaviour and nurture them from first
contact to sale, often cutting out the active sales process altogether.
In a web-focused marketing CRM solution, organizations create and track specific web activities
that help develop the client relationship. These activities may include such activities as free
downloads, online video content, and online web presentations.

Customer service and support
CRM software provides a business with the ability to create, assign and manage requests made
by customers. An example would be Call Center software which helps to direct a customer to the
agent who can best help them with their current problem. Recognizing that this type of service is
an important factor in attracting and retaining customers, organizations are increasingly turning
to technology to help them improve their clients experience while aiming to increase efficiency
and minimize costs. CRM software can also be used to identify and reward loyal customers
which in turn will help customer retention. Even so, a 2009 study revealed that only 39% of
corporate executives believe their employees have the right tools and authority to solve client
problems.
Appointment
Creating and scheduling appointments with customers is a central activity of most customer
oriented businesses. Sales, customer support, and service personnel regularly spend a portion of
their time getting in touch with customers and prospects through a variety of means to agree on a
time and place for meeting for a sales conversation or to deliver customer service. Appointment




CRM is a relatively new CRM platform category in which an automated system is used to offer a
suite of suitable appointment times to a customer via e-mail or through a web site. An automated
process is used to schedule and confirm the appointment, and place it on the appropriate person's
calendar. Appointment CRM systems can be an origination point for a sales lead and are
generally integrated with sales and marketing CRM systems to capture and store the interaction.

Analytics
Relevant analytics capabilities are often interwoven into applications for sales, marketing, and
service. These features can be complemented and augmented with links to separate, purpose-
built applications for analytics and business intelligence. Sales analytics let companies monitor
and understand client actions and preferences, through sales forecasting and data quality.
Marketing applications generally come with predictiveanalytics to improve segmentation and
targeting, and features for measuring the effectiveness of online, offline, and search marketing
campaigns. Web analytics have evolved significantly from their starting point of merely tracking
mouse clicks on Web sites. By evaluating buy signals, marketers can see which prospects are
most likely to transact and also identify those who are bogged down in a sales process and need
assistance. Marketing and finance personnel also use analytics to assess the value of multi-
faceted programs as a whole.
These types of analytics are increasing in popularity as companies demand greater visibility into
the performance of call centers and other service and support channels, in order to correct
problems before they affect satisfaction levels. Support-focused applications typically include
dashboards similar to those for sales, plus capabilities to measure and analyze response times,
service quality, agent performance, and the frequency of various issues.

Integrated/collaborative
Departments within enterprises especially large enterprises tend to function with little
collaboration. More recently, the development and adoption of these tools and services have
fostered greater fluidity and cooperation among sales, service, and marketing. This finds
expression in the concept of collaborative systems that use technology to build bridges between
departments. For example, feedback from a technical support center can enlighten marketers
about specific services and product features clients are asking for. Reps, in their turn, want to be
able to pursue these opportunities without the burden of re-entering records and contact data into
a separate SFA system.





Small business
For small business, basic client service can be accomplished by a contact manager system: an
integrated solution that lets organizations and individuals efficiently track and record
interactions, including emails, documents, jobs, faxes, scheduling, and more. These tools usually
focus on accounts rather than on individual contacts. They also generally include opportunity
insight for tracking sales pipelines plus added functionality for marketing and service. As with
larger enterprises, small businesses may find value in online solutions, especially for mobile
and telecommuting workers.

Social media
Social media sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google Plus are amplifying the voice of
people in the marketplace and are having profound and far-reaching effects on the ways in which
people buy. Customers can now research companies online and then ask for recommendations
through social media channels, as well as share opinions and experiences on companies, products
and services. As social media is not as widely moderated or censored as mainstream media,
individuals can say anything they want about a company or brand, positive or negative.
Increasingly, companies are looking to gain access to these conversations and take part in the
dialogue. More than a few systems are now integrating to social networking sites. Social media
promoters cite a number of business advantages, such as using online communities as a source of
high-quality leads and a vehicle for crowd sourcing solutions to client-support problems.
Companies can also leverage client stated habits and preferences to "Hypertargeting" their sales
and marketing communications.
Some analysts take the view that business-to-business marketers should proceed cautiously when
weaving social media into their business processes. These observers recommend careful market
research to determine if and where the phenomenon can provide measurable benefits for client
interactions, sales and support. It is statedthat people feel their interactions are peer-to-peer
between them and their contacts, and resent company involvement, sometimes responding with
negatives about that company.

Non-profit and membership-based
Systems for non-profit and membership-based organizations help track constituents and their
involvement in the organization. Capabilities typically include tracking the following: fund-




raising, demographics, membership levels, membership directories, volunteering and
communications with individuals.Some analysts take the view that business-to-business
marketers should proceed cautiously when weaving social media into their business processes.
These observers recommend for the careful market research.



Strategy
For larger-scale enterprises, a complete and detailed plan is required to obtain the funding,
resources, and company-wide support that can make the initiative of choosing and implementing
a system successfully. Benefits must be defined, risks assessed, and cost quantified in three
general areas:
Processes: Though these systems have many technological components, business processes
lie at its core. It can be seen as a more client-centric way of doing business, enabled by
technology that consolidates and intelligently distributes pertinent information about clients,
sales, marketing effectiveness, responsiveness, and market trends. Therefore, a company
must analyse its business workflows and processes before choosing a technology platform;
some will likely need re-engineering to better serve the overall goal of winning and
satisfying clients. Moreover, planners need to determine the types of client information that
are most relevant, and how best to employ them.
People: For an initiative to be effective, an organization must convince its staff that the new
technology and workflows will benefit employees as well as clients. Senior executives need
to be strong and visible advocates who can clearly state and support the case for change.
Collaboration, teamwork, and two-way communication should be encouraged across
hierarchical boundaries, especially with respect to process improvement.
Technology: In evaluating technology, key factors include alignment with the companys
business process strategy and goals, including the ability to deliver the right data to the right
employees and sufficient ease of adoption and use. Platform selection is best undertaken by a
carefully chosen group of executives who understand the business processes to be automated
as well as the software issues. Depending upon the size of the company and the breadth of
data, choosing an application can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more.





Implementation
Implementation issues
Increases in revenue, higher rates of client satisfaction, and significant savings in operating costs
are some of the benefits to an enterprise. Proponents emphasize that technology should be
implemented only in the context of careful strategic and operational planning. Implementations
almost invariably fall short when one or more facets of this prescription are ignored:
Poor planning: Initiatives can easily fail when efforts are limited to choosing and deploying
software, without an accompanying rationale, context, and support for the workforce. In
other instances, enterprises simply automate flawed client-facing processes rather than
redesign them according to best practices.
Poor integration: For many companies, integrations are piecemeal initiatives that address a
glaring need: improving a particular client-facing process or two or automating a favored
sales or client support channel. Such point solutions offer little or no integration or
alignment with a companys overall strategy. They offer a less than complete client view and
often lead to unsatisfactory user experiences.
Toward a solution: overcoming siloed thinking. Experts advise organizations to recognize
the immense value of integrating their client-facing operations. In this view, internally
focused, department-centric views should be discarded in favor of reorienting processes
toward information-sharing across marketing, sales, and service. For example, sales
representatives need to know about current issues and relevant marketing promotions before
attempting to cross-sell to a specific client. Marketing staff should be able to leverage client
information from sales and service to better target campaigns and offers. And support agents
require quick and complete access to a clients sales and service history.

Adoption issues
Historically, the landscape is littered with instances of low adoption rates. Many of the
challenges listed above offer a glimpse into some of the obstacles that corporations
implementing a CRM suite face; in many cases time, resources and staffing do not allow for the
troubleshooting necessary to tackle an issue and the system is shelved or sidestepped instead.
Why is it so difficult sometimes to get employees up to date on rapidly developing new
technology? Essentially, your employees need to understand how the system works, as well as
understand the clients and their needs. No doubt this process is time consuming, but it is well
worth the time and effort, as you will be better able to understand and meet the needs of your




clients. CRM training needs to cover two types of information: relational knowledge and
technological knowledge.

Statistics
In 2003, a Gartner report estimated that more than $1 billion had been spent on software that was
not being used. More recent research indicates that the problem, while perhaps less severe, is a
long way from being solved. According to CSO Insights, less than 40% of 1,275 participating
companies had end-user adoption rates above 90 %. Additionally, many corporations only use
CRM systems on a partial or fragmented basis, thus missing opportunities for effective
marketing and efficiency.
In a 2007 survey from the UK, four-fifths of senior executives reported that their biggest
challenge is getting their staff to use the systems they had installed. Further, 43% of respondents
said they use less than half the functionality of their existing system; 72% indicated they would
trade functionality for ease of use; 51% cited data synchronization as a major issue; and 67%
said that finding time to evaluate systems was a major problem. With expenditures expected to
exceed $11 billion in 2010, enterprises need to address and overcome persistent adoption
challenges.

The amount of time needed for the development and implementation of a customer relationship
management system can prove costly to the implementation as well. Research indicates that
implementation timelines that are greater than 90 days in length run an increased risk in the
CRM system failing to yield successful results.

Increasing usage and adoption rates
Specialists offer these recommendations for boosting adoptions rates and coaxing users to blend
these tools into their daily workflow:
Additionally, researchers found the following themes were common in systems that users
evaluated favourably. These positive evaluations led to the increased use and more thorough
implementation of the CRM system. Further recommendations include
Breadcrumb Trail: This offers the user a path, usually at the top of a web or CRM page, to
return to the starting point of navigation. This can prove useful for users who might find
themselves lost or unsure how they got to the current screen in the CRM.




Readily available search engine boxes: Research shows that users are quick to seek
immediate results through the use of a search engine box. A CRM that uses a search box will
keep assistance and immediate results quickly within the reach of a user.
Help Option Menu: An outlet for quick assistance or frequently asked questions can provide
users with a lifeline that makes the customer relationship management software easier to use.
Researchers suggest making this resource a large component of the CRM during the
development stage.
A larger theme is found in that the responsiveness, intuitive design and overall usability of a
system can influence the users opinions and preferences of systems.
Researchers noted a strong correlation between the design and layout of a user interface and the
perceived level of trust from the user. The researchers found that users felt more comfortable on
a system evaluated as usable and applied that comfort and trust into increased use and adoption.

Help menus
One of the largest issues surrounding the implementation and adoption of a CRM comes in the
perceived lack of technical and user support in using the system. Individual users and large
corporations find themselves equally stymied by a system that is not easily understood.
Technical support in the form of a qualified and comprehensive help menu can provide
significant improvement in implementation when providing focused, context-specific
information.
Data show that CRM users are often unwilling to consult a help menu if it is not easily accessible
and immediate in providing assistance. A 1998 case study found that users would consult the
help menu for an average of two or three screens, abandoning the assistance if desired results
werent found by that time.
Researchers believe that help menus can provide assistance to users through introducing
additional screenshots and other visual and interactive aids. A 2004 case study concluded that the
proper use of screenshots can significantly support a users developing a mental model of the
program and help in identifying and locating window elements and objects. This research
concluded that screen shots allowed users to learn more, make fewer mistakes, and learn in a
shorter time frame, which can certainly assist in increasing the time frame for full
implementation of a CRM system with limited technical or human support.
Experts have identified five characteristics to make a help menu effective:
context-specific the help menu contains only the information relevant to the topic that is
being discussed or sought




useful in conjunction with being context-specific, the help menu must be
comprehensive in including all of the information that the user seeks
obvious to invoke the user must have no trouble in locating the help menu or how to
gain access to its contents
non-intrusive the help menu must not interfere with the users primary path of work and
must maintain a distance that allows for its use only when requested
easily available the information of the help menu must be accessible with little or few
steps required

fast food and leisure and entertainment sections.

History
Big Bazaar was launched in September, 2001 with the opening of its first four stores
in Calcutta, Indore, Bangalore and Hyderabad in 22 days. Within a span of ten years, there are
now 161 Big Bazaar stores in 90 cities and towns across India.
Big Bazaar was started by Kishore Biyani, the Group CEO and Managing Director of Pantaloon
Retail India. Though Big Bazaar was launched purely as a fashion format including apparel,
cosmetics, accessory and general merchandise, over the years Big Bazaar has included a wide
range of products and service offerings under their retail chain. The current formats include Big
Bazaar, Food Bazaar, Electronic Bazaar and Furniture Bazaar. The inspiration behind this entire
retail format was from Saravana Stores, a local store in T. Nagar, Chennai
The stores are customized to provide the feel of mandis and melas while offering the modern
retail features like Quality, Choice and Convenience. As the modern Indian family's favorite
retail store, Big Bazaar is popularly known as the "Indian Walmart".
On successful completion of ten years in Indian retail industry, in 2011, Big Bazaar has come up
a new logo with a new tag line: Naye India Ka Bazaar, replacing the earlier one:
'IsseSastaAurAcchaKahinNahin'.

Innovations

Wednesday Bazaar
Big Bazaar introduced the Wednesday Bazaar concept and promoted it as HafteKaSabseSasta
Din. It was mainly to draw customers to the stores on Wednesdays, when least number of
customers are observed. According to the chain, the aim of the concept is "to give homemakers
the power to save the most and even the stores in the city don a fresh look to make customers
feel that it is their day".
SabseSasta Din
With a desire to achieve sales of Rs 26 Crore in a one single day, Big Bazaar introduced the
concept of "SabseSasta Din". The idea was to simply create a day in a year that truly belonged to




Big Bazaar. This was launched on January 26, 2006 and the result was exceptional that police
had to come in to control the mammoth crowd. The concept was such a huge hit that the offer
was increased from one day to three days in 2009 (24 to 26 Jan) and to five days in 2011 (22-26
Jan).
MahaBachat
MahaBachat was started off in 2006 as a single day campaign with attractive promotional offers
across all Big Bazaar stores. Over the years it has grown into a 6 days biannual campaign. It has
attractive offers in all its value formats such as Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, Electronic Bazaar and
Furniture Bazaar - catering to the entire needs of a consumer.
The Great Exchange Offer
On February 12, 2009 Big Bazaar launched "The Great Exchange Offer", through with the
customers can exchange their old goods in for Big Bazaar coupons. Later, consumers can redeem
these coupons for brand new goods across the nation.
