Google Map Integrations With Zoho CRM

Project Overview:

When a leading supplier in the hay industry faces inefficiencies in calculating distance-based transport charges and generating dynamic quotations. The manual processes for these tasks were time-consuming and prone to errors, which impacted response times and overall customer satisfaction.

By integrating Zoho CRM with the Google Distance Matrix API, Zoho Voice, and Zoho Writer, the business automated its quotation process. This solution enabled personalized, dynamic quotes to be generated and sent instantly to customers via SMS and email.

As a result, the company reduced quotation turnaround time by 75%, enhanced customer satisfaction by 30%, and was able to scale its operations while maintaining high standards of efficiency and service delivery.
