Resco.next 2019 Rome: business mobility for Dynamics 365

/in /by

Admiral Dynamics was present at resco.next 2019 in Rome on October 24-25. That’s the annual enterprise mobility event of our partner Resco we didn’t want to miss out on. Our managing partners Marga Van Laere and Jure Jesenovec participated in this educational and inspirational conference to learn about new features including the product roadmap firsthand, to discover Resco’s strategic business mobility insights and to network and get technical support.

With IT and business professionals from 75 companies and 23 countries in the audience, it’s definitely the perfect occasion to get in-depth product knowledge about Resco Cloud in all its flavours like Mobile Sales, Field Service, Routes and Inspections for Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM.

Our team kicked off the day with a 5k run just before the conference started. “Mens sana in corpore sano” like the Romans would say. After Resco’s CEO Miro Pomsar inspiring keynote, you could follow 2 different session tracks (technical or business oriented). That’s also the reason why Admiral Dynamics was there with two persons.

Curious how Jure, CRM strategy and implementation expert, experienced the Resco event:

Resco.next opened my eyes into a field of advanced mobility. It provided an overview of what is already available today and a sneak peek into the future of mobility.

Most interesting highlights for Jure were:

  • Routes: because of its intelligent overview and ability to check where your employees are likely going to be in the next few hours.
  • Inspections: it offers so much more than the name would suggest – it’s an advanced mobile platform for automated business processes.

Sharing experiences with other partners worldwide, being able to talk to Resco professionals and spending time at an extremely nice venue made it definitely the mobility event of the year.”

Whitepaper | Derbigum: Digital Transformation lifts sales exponentially

/in /by

This story starts in 2016. Derbigum was already using Dynamics CRM when they felt the urge to develop a better relationship with their prospects and customers. Looking into the problem, they came into contact with one of our Admirals. After sharing our views and maturity model, it was clear that we would be their ideal guide. Together we agreed that Admiral Dynamics would assist them in their mission to help them develop better relationships. Download your whitepaper for free, to find out about all the details!

The challenges of CRM 

When we became Derbigum’s adviser in their Digital Transformation, our first assignment was to analyse their level of digitalisation. Among other things, we learned that they utilised CRM for a variety of purposes. However, it wasn’t used to its full potential. Our Admiral was a bit shocked but understood the situation and handled that surprise as a professional. To be honest, they would probably have the same reaction when they saw our roof. 😉  

In order to have a complete overview of their needs, our Admirals did a complete assessment of the key process elements (like f.e. Relations Experience, Intelligence, Leverage). We also listened to Derbigum’s specific needs. This put us in the position to pinpoint the most important issues and offer practical solutions.   

Eventually the requirements of Derbigum became very clear and our project went into the next stage. The sales reps needed a tool with the following specifics: 

  • Mobile 
  • Easy and fast to use 
  • Access to necessary applications for sales 
  • Access to up-to-date information on demand 

Resco and CRM 

Since Derbigum was already using Microsoft Dynamics, we suggested Resco Mobile CRM. This was the most suitable mobile solution for their particular problem. It would tick off all the boxes and even more. You’re probably wondering if our solution did the trick?  

It didn’t last long before Derbigum deployed Resco Mobile CRM to all its European branches. Now Derbigum’s sales team has extra time to drink a cup of coffee. ☕ 

“Our sales team is constantly on the road and they need a powerful CRM Tool for their day-to-day prospection operations. The mobile app using RESCO technology clearly delivered a user-friendly sales supporting solution!“

Victor Marbach – Digital Journey Manager

Explaining how the Resco app exactly works, would take us too long, but you can read it in detail in our whitepaper.

The influence of our CRM solution on Derbigum 

Derbigum hired us to lead them through the Digital Transformation process. This graph will show the steps we took to solve Derbigum’s problems.  

The steps that describe how we improved Derbigum's sales. Our first step is to analyse the level of digitalisation, after that we identify the needs. When we have a complete view of the situation we propose solutions and implement those solutions.

The only thing that rest us now are the results. Did we influence Derbigum’s sales activities?

Yes, we definitely did! Not only did we answer 6 direct needs of their sales department. We also improved their sales visits by 20% and their number of accounts by 15%. Speaking of effective consulting!

The results of our consultancy assignment visually represented. 20% higher sales visits and 15% more accounts.

Tend to your CRM needs 

This post summarizes how we tackled the needs of Derbigum. Every situation will be different because we keep the vision, mission and needs of each of our clients in our minds when working out a solution. We invite you to read the complete whitepaper to find out about all the interesting details.

Resco.next 2018 Prague: our experiences

/in /by

Admiral Dynamics was present at resco.next 2018 in Prague on November 15-16. Resco.next is an educational conference organised by Resco and designed for all IT and business professionals interested in the Resco Mobile CRM solutions. Both Marga Van Laere and Koen Van de Vyver participated at the business mobility event of the year to get in-depth product knowledge about Resco Mobile CRM for Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM.

Curious how they experienced the 2-day conference? Read Koen’s report of the resco.next 2018:

“Let’s kick off with some interesting stats. This background information will give you a better understanding of Resco Mobile CRM.

Currently, Resco has 2.200 company customers (51% Europe, 39% North-America, 8% New-Zealand, 2% other countries), 150.000 licensed mobile users, with an average daily usage of 11 sessions a day, 9 minutes and 42 seconds per session, which totals in a staggering 1 hour 42 minutes a day.

No wonder that Resco.next 2018 attracts more than 200 attendees from over 24 countries, representing 92 companies and enjoying 28 sessions in 2 days. These sessions are divided in 2 tracks: a sales-oriented business track and a more technical track. Of course, there’s plenty of time to network in order to get to know the team behind Resco, have one-on-one conversations with the Resco engineers and learn from partners and even competitors.

So what are my key take-aways from Resco.next 2018?

  • First of all, Resco is going to invest heavily in partnerships. The partner enablement program, allowing business partners to step up their game, is an example of their partner’s focus. However, from a partner perspective, the most interesting news came from Resco’s announcement that they will deliver a robust mobile solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Field Service. Read the full press release at PRNewswire.
  • Secondly, Resco’s road map is looking both interesting and promising as Resco will be further developing their Route Planner and Inspections modules. Their functionalities are a great addition to the Dynamics 365/CRM stack, what makes me extremely happy as a Dynamics consultant. Moreover, Resco is pushing out the HTML version of the Woodford configuration tool. This truly brings them back to the present, as the old Silverlight version is being depreciated in 2020.
  • Last but not least, Resco confirmed its status as the leading mobile solution for Dynamics CRM and Salesforce. This was made clear with the numerous inspirational sessions hosted by several partners and with the Mobility Success Panel. Participants of the panel were Gustaf Westerlund, Jeremy Higgins, Ilya Naroditskiy, Daniel Buzatu, Nils Oltenau and myself (Koen Van de Vyver). These panelists did share some of their insights and gave sound advice on things you should (re)think of before implementing Resco as a mobile solution.”

As always, the resco.next conference was truly educational and inspirational. Definitely worth participating! The next European edition will be in Rome: Admiral Dynamics will be there for sure.
