A customer can be a private person or a company. All customers have different terms and preferences, all of which must be maintained and updated.
Output from the customer management process
A new customer is registered.
The customer’s terms are maintained.
The customer’s contact information is maintained.
Customer relations are closed.
All you need to register on a new customer is name, address, payment and delivery terms, and contact information.
If there is a business relationship with larger customers, you will normally have relations with several contact persons. Some may be purchasers, while others work with invoicing or project management. These people need to be defined with their contact- and work information, in addition to which situations they will be contacted.
