01. Client data

Centralising contact and client information

Centralising contact and client information is one of the core features of a logistics CRM. It enables unified, secure data management, essential for precise tracking of client interactions and for optimising sales and after-sales processes. Centralisation also helps maintain regulatory compliance in data management. Combined with an ERP, this centralisation extends to production and supply chain data, for a global, consistent view.

02. Marketing

Targeted marketing campaigns

Using a CRM to run targeted marketing campaigns is crucial in logistics. With advanced segmentation and analysis of client behaviour data, companies can personalise their messages and offers, which significantly raises client engagement and the return on campaign investment.

03. Quotes & contracts

Managing quotes and contracts

CRM-driven quote and contract management standardises and automates these critical processes. This brings greater accuracy and fewer errors, but also faster answers to client requests, a fundamental point for winning and keeping client trust in this sector. Integration with an ERP syncs these processes with financial and logistics operations, for greater consistency and efficiency.

04. Incidents & disputes

Managing incidents, damage, complaints and disputes

An effective logistics CRM offers advanced tools to manage incidents, damage, complaints and disputes. Handling problems quickly and effectively strengthens client trust, makes customer service more responsive and minimises potential operational disruption.

Why use a CRM in logistics and transport?

In logistics and transport, using a client relationship management (CRM) system becomes crucial to manage interactions with a diverse and demanding client base. A logistics CRM centralises and optimises every process, from first contact to loyalty, and plays a strategic role in continuously improving operational efficiency. Integrating an ERP also makes all logistics activities smoother and better coordinated, by syncing CRM data with the company's other processes.

Industry expertise

Shippers, contracts, incidents.
We speak your business.

For 10+ years, Copernic has helped transport and logistics companies structure their sales activity in HubSpot: tenders, quotes, contracts and renewals tracked in one pipeline.

We connect the CRM to your TMS, WMS or ERP so sales, operations and customer service share the same view of the account: volumes, sites, contracts and incidents.

Complaints, damage and disputes become tickets tracked through to resolution, which the sales rep checks before every client meeting. We also support other industries, from manufacturing to e-commerce.

01. History of exchanges

Keep a history of exchanges

One of the key features of a logistics CRM is the ability to keep a complete history of interactions with each client. This accumulated information lets teams respond in a more informed, personal way, with a better understanding of each client's needs and preferences, which is essential to optimise customer service strategies.

03. Sales management

Managing overall sales activity

A robust CRM gives an overview of all sales activity, supporting strategic decisions based on real, up-to-date data. This integrated management helps coordinate sales efforts with operational capacity, which is essential to meet market demand effectively. With an ERP, this overview extends to the whole supply chain, for optimised supply chain management.

04. Performance

Performance analysis

Performance analysis is vital for any logistics company that wants to stay competitive. With a CRM, you can track key performance indicators such as client satisfaction, marketing campaign effectiveness and the profitability of logistics routes, and adjust strategies in real time to optimise results. ERP integration also lets you monitor and optimise supply chain processes in real time.
