CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT / CONNECTED APPLICATION

Convert customer demand into controlled laboratory work.

Zylon CRM is the connected customer and commercial application for laboratory organisations. It manages global accounts, enquiries, opportunities, technical quotations, sales orders, contracts and complaints, then transfers approved scope directly into Zylon LIMS without re-entering commercial or technical data.

Customer challenges & solutions

From operational friction to controlled enterprise performance.

Each capability addresses a specific laboratory or business problem with a connected, traceable and measurable response.

CHALLENGE 01

Enquiries and follow-ups are distributed across email, spreadsheets and individual sales teams.

ZYLON SOLUTION

A shared pipeline records ownership, stage, value, next action and communication history across regions and accounts.

CHALLENGE 02

Technical quotations are slow to prepare and difficult to control.

ZYLON SOLUTION

Governed tests, packages, rates, discounts, versions and approvals produce consistent, technically valid quotations.

CHALLENGE 03

Approved business is manually recreated as laboratory work.

ZYLON SOLUTION

Sales orders created from accepted quotations transfer customer, PO, sample, test, price and delivery context into LIMS.

CHALLENGE 04

Complaints are separated from the samples, reports and investigations involved.

ZYLON SOLUTION

Complaint workflow connects customer communication to LIMS evidence, QMS investigation, response SLA and final closure.
