Howdens x Peak

Mutual Action Plan

We understand your opportunity

Howdens are on a digital transformation journey. In recent years, the company has moved from a completely paper based system to a Powerapps-based Lead Management tool. The next step in this journey is to introduce contemporary technologies that will power data-driven decision-making within the Marketing & Sales functions, with a focus on reducing churn and maximising revenue.

Howdens spends a lot of time and resources acquiring new customers; now you want to get smarter with how you keep them. It is critical this is done by augmenting the intelligence of the sales force. The ultimate goal is to use Decision Intelligence technology to make BDMs lives’ easier. This means removing the need to look at five different systems, consolidating workloads, saving time and enriching conversations with customers by suggesting the topic of conversation, retaining the crucial human element that makes the Howdens’ customer experience what it is today.
