CUSTOMER INSIGHTSA DEEPER LOOK AT WHO YOU’RE SERVICING.
Knowing your customer is the most effective way to service them, so we must understand the way they think, behave, and feel.
Context is what allows us to draw useful insights from this information: this means knowing who your customers are and what drives them
This data combined leads to purposeful decision-making. We use key metrics to extract vital insights from what your customers are saying and who they’re saying it to, so that together we can design adaptive experiences for them.
We’ll help you determine what questions you should be asking, which tools and technology will give you the data you need, and what systems are best used for assessing your customer satisfaction levels. We help you offer agile solutions that cater to your customers’ differing needs across digital and physical channels.

CUSTOMER SOLUTIONSPOSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS REQUIRE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION METHODS.
Your customer systems are the lifeblood of your organisation. If they work effectively, your staff can work effectively.
CRM systems have evolved into customer platforms allowing greater flexibility to create the experience your customers deserve.
A successful customer platform can achieve many things: allow staff to manage customer interactions, decrease churn rates, improve customer satisfaction and streamline customer processes. All while maximising profits and reducing the costs generally associated with managing customer relationships.
Effective CRM systems also allow you to identify up-sell and cross-sell opportunities and encourage staff to proactively pursue them.
We’ll assist you in streamlining and aligning cross-business unit customer initiatives, as well as developing project roadmaps and defining benefit metrics to assess the effectiveness of your actions.
We’ll work with you to help you understand cross-channel implications and opportunities, and how to best implement customer loyalty strategies and segment customers to drive direct marketing campaigns.

A HISTORY OF DELIVERING FOR OUR CLIENTSOUR NEXT SUCCESS STORY IS YOURS.
SUSTAINABILITY VICTORIA SETS AGILE EXAMPLE FOR GOVERNMENT WITH CRM IMPLEMENTATIONSustainability Victoria was heavily reliant on paper-based processes and had a fragmented view of relationships with local councils, potential investors and other key stakeholders.
It engaged SMS Management & Technology to integrate Dynamics CRM with its broad range of other Microsoft products, dramatically improving efficiency across the business.
Embracing an agile methodology turned a supplier relationship into a true partnership, reduced the risk profile and produced a much better result than traditional processes.
The project won the 2016 Australian Government ICT Awards for Project & Program Management.
TELSTRA SUPER SAVES TIME AND BUDGET WITH DESIGN THINKINGTelstra Super recently underwent major change that impacted their member experience, so they knew they needed to find new tools that placed Member Experience at the centre of their exploration.
Using Design Thinking, SMS and Telstra Super worked on an efficient, collaborative and iterative process to develop requirements for a new CRM system. In doing this, Telstra Super were able to deliver a business case that would change the way in which value is delivered to their customers.
The result was a cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementation that enabled a new Financial Planning & Advice model for Telstra Super.
HELPING MAIN ROADS WA TO MANAGE 18,000KMS OF ROADSWhen managing the roads of the world’s second largest state, you need a system that can support you, no matter what happens. Main Roads found that support in its MMIS Application, a portal developed by SMS for both on premise and field workers to help maintain over 18,000kms of roads.
With its improved efficiency, ability to lower costs, and stronger support structure, MMIS helped Main Roads WA to take the next step forward.
For the people of WA, this meant a faster turn-around time for road faults to be resolved, and therefore less disruption to everyday traffic.

GLOBAL AWARD-WINNING PROJECT HELPS CUSTOMS OFFICERS FIGHT CRIME INSTEAD OF PAPERWORK Our client’s paper-based inspection process for incoming packages was labour-intensive and prone to human error.
SMS developed a solution using Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM to integrate two legacy systems, with a secure custom application that allows them to enter all the data needed on the go. This process has seen 95% of packages with negative findings cleared for dispatch up to 24 hours sooner.
The project saw SMS Management & Technology (SMS) named Public Safety and National Security Partner at Microsoft’s global Partner of the Year Awards 2016.
40 CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MAPS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRYSMS Created 40 customer experience maps for The Department of Industry’s (DoI) new Australia Apprenticeship Scheme. We thought like a DoI customer, and could therefore objectively identify problem areas.
Key insights into customer thinking gave light to recommendations for a practical, results driven reform model.
GREATER PARTICIPATION FOR CHILDREN IN SA WITH SPORTS VOUCHERS PORTALSports Vouchers is a State Government initiative for primary school aged children to receive a $50 discount from sports club/membership fees. Rather than hiring additional staff to manage club data and reimbursements, Office of Recreation and Sports wanted to implement a solution to allow users to self-manage their sports vouchers and reimburse claims.
Parents can now access the user friendly portal to print their child’s sport vouchers, retrieve information on a range of clubs based on sport, location or club name, and find information about the program.
This project won the SA iAward for Government.
