Why CRM Matters for Telecom and ISP Businesses

For most internet service providers (ISPs) and telecom operators, managing customers efficiently isn’t just about sales — it’s about handling a complex set of activities across lead management, billing, support, and renewals.

While many start out using spreadsheets or generic CRM platforms like Zoho or Salesforce, they soon run into limitations:

• No way to manage feasibility studies or GIS-linked leads
• Lack of support for SLA-based complaints or parent-child invoicing
• No integrated BOQ, warehouse, or field force tracking
• Minimal visibility into the full customer lifecycle

This is where a domain-specific CRM — one that understands telecom workflows — becomes a business necessity.

What Makes a CRM Truly Growth-Oriented?

A growth-focused CRM must go beyond contact databases and ticketing systems. It should help you:

✅ Qualify the right leads
✅ Automate repetitive back-office workflows
✅ Improve team collaboration
✅ Track customer interactions across every lifecycle stage
✅ Offer real-time visibility into operational bottlenecks
✅ Enable fast, error-free billing and collections

CRM360 — a telecom-grade CRM platform — is designed with exactly these outcomes in mind.

The 6 Pillars of CRM360 for Business Growth

Here’s how CRM360 helps ISPs and telecom providers grow by managing operations more intelligently and scalably.

1. Lead Management with Feasibility & ROI Focus

• Capture and qualify leads using SPANCO or SPANDCO methods
• Run desktop and field feasibility checks (RF, Fiber, 3rd Party)
• Auto-generate Bills of Quantity (BOQ)
• Score leads based on ROI and coverage viability

📌 Outcome: Sales teams prioritize high-value leads, speeding up conversion while reducing follow-up cycles.

2. Customer Lifecycle Automation

• Move customers from inquiry to onboarding seamlessly
• Handle KYC, service setup, and circuit provisioning
• Assign billing plans and track SLA commitments
• Enable self-care and app-based support from Day 1

📌 Outcome: Reduced handoff delays and fewer manual errors during onboarding and provisioning.

3. Billing & Collections Made Telecom-Specific

• GST-compliant billing (intra/inter-state)
• Parent-child invoicing for resellers or corporate accounts
• Credit notes, SLA-based adjustments, and prepaid/postpaid models
• Live collections dashboards and payment gateway integration

📌 Outcome: Lower revenue leakage, faster collections, and greater customer trust.

4. Complaint & Support Management

• Omnichannel ticket capture (portal, app, call center)
• SLA-based escalation and closure tracking
• Ticket assignment to field force with geo-tagging
• Integration with Inventory & Task modules for real-time coordination

📌 Outcome: Quicker complaint resolution, fewer escalations, and improved customer retention.

5. Warehouse & Inventory Control

• PO-based inwarding with GST compliance
• GRN and dispatch tracking per location or employee
• Barcode and QR code tagging
• Live stock visibility across multiple sites or warehouses

📌 Outcome: Controlled consumption, faster project rollouts, and reduced theft/loss.

6. Field Force & Task Management

• Assign tasks with priority and SLA timers
• Live tracking of field executives
• Integrate complaints, provisioning, and inventory at the field level
• Geo-tagging, mobile app support, and proof-of-work uploads

📌 Outcome: High field productivity and better accountability across regions.
