Xpress Reply GmbH & Co. KG specialises in supporting customer centric processes in the B2C environment. It supports trade and mail order companies with the implementation of integrated software solutions for multi-channel business.
The challenge
There is a strong and continuing trend in trade to make customer-oriented and customer-specific offers in the market through a variety of communication channels. Moreover, mail order and retail trade are continuing to merge more closely. Customers expect to be able to communicate with the company across all communication channels. In addition to the multi-channel strategy it is becoming increasingly important to differentiate oneself from the competition through high-quality customer service. For the smooth operation of service and sales, staff need one thing above all: A 360° overview of the customers across all channels and in real time. You can only deliver long-tern customer loyalty if these conditions are met by a high-performance IT system.
The business unit
Xpress Reply is the trade and mass retail business specialist within the Reply company network. Xpress Reply GmbH & Co. KG (previously cm4 GmbH & Co. KG) was founded in 1999 as a joint venture with Bertelsmann AG, and since 2006 Xpress Reply is 100%-owned by the Italian Reply Group. Initially an SAP specialist for the mail-order business, Xpress Reply has continually adapted its service portfolio to market needs, and today employs over 50 technology-independent industry specialists within the Reply Group (more than 3,100 employees) combining knowledge and experience around customer-centric processes in the retail and mass retail markets. According to a PAC study from 2010 Reply Deutschland was the number 4 CRM provider in Germany. Xpress Reply projects with the Teleshopping channel HSE24 have received several awards: In 2008 HSE24 received the CRM-Expo Best Practice Award and in summer 2009 the Handelsblatt publisher named HSE24 the best customer oriented provider in Germany.
