Transforming B2B Customer Relationships with 365 Assistnace
Introduction
365 Assistance Group, a distinguished Australian-based company, has been a stalwart in providing unwavering support to car owners and businesses for over a decade. As a B2B company operating behind the scenes of major brands in Insurance, Car Manufacturing, Fleet Management, and Emerging Markets, 365 is at the forefront of managing intricate customer relationships. Offering professional roadside assistance and emergency breakdown services, the company's caring customer support staff is available 24 hours a day, ensuring swift resolutions to unexpected problems for their clients.
The Challenge(s)
In the dynamic landscape of B2B services , 365 Assistance Group faced a unique set of challenges in their quest to effectively manage and enhance customer relationships. Most other platforms were too rigid in their design, proving inadequate for accommodating the specialised needs of the business. The company felt compelled to adjust its operational model to fit the constraints of existing CRMs, hindering overall efficiency. Furthermore, the users, juggling multiple aspects of their roles, required a platform that was not only flexible but also intuitive and easy to pick up.
Wisely played a pivotal role in the collaborative decision-making process as Michael Payne, COO, and Ian Slater, Group GM of 365 Assistance Group, sought an optimal CRM solution during the initial stages of their quest. Actively participating in the company's initial assessment in collaboration with monday.com, Wisely's involvement was instrumental in providing assurance that the specific business needs of 365 Assistance Group were not only understood but also achievable.

The Outcome
The implementation of the custom CRM built on monday.com yielded transformative results for 365 Assistance Group. One notable outcome was the establishment of a unified repository, serving as a single source for all client information. "We now have a single source of all client information used by multiple departments,' shares Michael, highlighting the pivotal role of this centralised repository."
The centralised repository for client data fostered seamless collaboration among diverse departments, spanning from sales to invoicing. This fundamental shift greatly streamlined workflows, resulting in significant efficiency improvements across end-to-end client interactions.
