India, one of the fastest-growing markets for Zoho Corporation, has seen its traditional industries embracing digital tools to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and enable growth. A standout example is Swiss Pac, a leading sustainable packaging manufacturer in India, which recently underwent a digital transformation with the help of Elsner Technologies, a Zoho Authorized Partner. By deploying a tailor-made Zoho CRM solution, Elsner Technologies helped Swiss Pac overcome operational challenges, optimize sales processes, and improve customer intelligence—paving the way for other legacy manufacturers to modernize their infrastructure.

Pointers:

1. The Challenge: Managing Growth in Traditional Operations

• Swiss Pac, with its three-decade legacy of packaging innovation, had expanded rapidly, but growth brought operational challenges.

• The company struggled with:

  • Disjointed lead and customer data

  • Missed follow-ups due to manual processes

  • Inadequate reporting tools for tracking sales pipelines

  • Inefficient communication across sales channels

2. The Solution: Zoho CRM for Seamless Digital Transformation

• Elsner Technologies architected a robust Zoho CRM ecosystem that centralised all customer data and automated key processes.

• The implementation delivered significant benefits, including:

  • Sales Pipeline Automation: Improved visibility and forecasting, leading to faster closures and better resource planning.

  • WhatsApp Business & IVR Integration: Enabled real-time customer response management, streamlining communication channels.

  • Smart Lead Capture: Integrated data from platforms like IndiaMart, Google Ads, and Swiss Pac’s website, automating lead flow.

  • Workflow Automation: Reduced manual tasks and automated reminders for abandoned leads, enhancing internal efficiency.

3. Rewiring the Sales Culture for Agility

• Harshal Shah, CEO of Elsner Technologies, emphasized the focus on agility: “Our priority was to build a connected system that empowers the Swiss Pac team to focus more on customer relationships and less on operational friction.”

• The solution wasn’t just about implementing software; it was about reshaping Swiss Pac’s sales culture to be more adaptable, efficient, and data-driven.

4. Why Zoho CRM Matters for Indian Manufacturing

• In sectors like packaging, textiles, and heavy engineering, many family-run businesses are transitioning to modern tech solutions to remain competitive.

• A Zoho CRM implementation, led by trusted partners like Elsner Technologies, provides both quick wins and long-term scalability for manufacturers.

• Zoho’s suite of tools, including Zoho Analytics, Zoho One, and Zoho Books, offers an integrated and affordable CRM alternative, providing manufacturers with a unified system without the high cost of larger CRM platforms.

Elsner Technologies’ successful deployment of Zoho CRM for Swiss Pac highlights the transformative power of digital tools in Indian manufacturing. By solving operational inefficiencies and enhancing customer interactions, Zoho CRM has helped Swiss Pac modernize its growth infrastructure. As more traditional industries in India look to embrace digital transformation, Zoho and its authorized partners provide an invaluable solution for businesses seeking scalable growth and operational agility.
