The company has many active licenses across several departments and manages 15,000 customers using Zoho CRM

Chennai— September 2, 2022— Zoho Corporation announced today that its fast-growing enterprise customer, Zoomcar, has achieved a 150% increase in conversion rates, which is directly proportionate to the company's revenue. This increase follows Zoomcar's adoption of Zoho CRM, a unified platform that brings sales, marketing, and customer service activities together in one unified and intuitive platform.

The company's increased benefits are four times higher than its investment in Zoho CRM. Among those benefits, 60% are direct, and 40% are indirect (including streamlining various internal processes and minimizing human resources).

Zoomcar has been able to implement Zoho CRM in only a month and a half, and has experienced a smooth onboarding process with zero hurdles. With several workflow rules in place and the company's dedicated use of various CRM integrations, the turnaround time for lead conversion has been reduced by 30%.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bengaluru, India, Zoomcar employs over 300 people and operates in 50 cities across India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Egypt. It is the leading marketplace for car sharing in emerging markets, with over 25,000 cars on its technology-driven platform. Until recently, the company was maintaining its sales information on multiple grids. Without an effective CRM system in place, leaders worried the company was vulnerable to funnel drop-offs and lead leakages. Its data was scattered and unorganized, providing no clear view of leads to the Zoomcar sales teams. Zoomcar sought a solution that would minimize manual tasks and optimize automation. It chose to adopt Zoho CRM, owing to its functionality, cost-effectiveness, and level of customizability.

"Our team never had any governance that allowed us to see what was happening with various leads that were flowing in. This led to multiple leakages, and leads used to get dropped. Additionally, we wanted to automate the follow-up process through various channels like WhatsApp and SMS. Zoho CRM offered us exactly what we were looking for," said Akshay Bhama, Senior Business Manager for Zoomcar.

"Zoho is thrilled to partner with Zoomcar to streamline and automate their sales processes, thereby driving better lead conversion rates. Zoomcar has been continually adding value to the car rental marketplace, and now, by leveraging Zoho CRM, they can enhance customer experiences by aligning their teams across functions, and establishing greater customer centricity," commented  Mani Vembu, COO of Zoho

Key benefits Zoomcar achieved using Zoho CRM:

• Automation through workflow rules

The sales process is automated using workflow rules, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

• Generation of leads from various sources:

By integrating Zoho Social with Zoho CRM, leads across social media platforms are automatically captured in CRM.

• Increased adoption through customization

The CRM system has been completely customized to suit Zoomcar's unique business requirements. With the degree of customization Zoho offers, Zoomcar saw a 70% increase in the CRM adoption rate.

• Ease of qualifying and following up with leads:

The sales team qualifies leads with Zoho CRM's integration with Ozonetel, cloud telephony, and auto-dialing software platform.

• Reduced lead turnaround time:

With several workflow rules in place and the company's dedicated use of various Zoho CRM integrations, the turnaround time for lead conversion has been reduced by 30%.

• Transparency:

In terms of tracking resources on the ground, the company went from having absolutely no visibility to 100% visibility.

"There's a huge difference between using speadsheets to manage sales data and using a CRM. Managing 15,000 customers was impossible. Opting for Zoho CRM has truly aided us in managing our leads and closing deals. We're no longer facing our main concerns from before—none of the leads are missed and no leakage happens," said Akhil Pippala, Associate Program Manager for Zoomcar
