Customer Management Customer Management It costs six times as much to gain a new customer as it does to keep an existing customer, so it makes sense to know who your existing customers are and what they buy.  This module allows you to record events per customer, such as sales, refunds, repairs, birthdays and anniversaries, collectibles etc, to build up a history of their jewelry preferences and special occasions.  With literally thousands of customers, it is not economical to direct mail to the entire customer base.  By using ARMS’ Customer Management to carry out ProActive pinpoint marketing, you increase your sales in a very cost-effective manner.  Customer Management allows you to build a better relationship with each customer and attract long-term repeat business.  You can interface the Customer Management module with Imaging to see and show customers what they have purchased. Customer Management also includes the BOSS feature, which emulates the actions of a Point of Sale, but is designed to be used in a back office environment.  Read more.
