Derby Mortgage Centre (DMC)
Derby Mortgage Centre (DMC) has experienced considerable growth since the business began providing a broad range of mortgage related financial services in early 2003.
DMC has always believed its high quality personal customer service to be a considerable differentiator, and a key factor in securing new business.
The company has discovered that further to winning the confidence of new customers, this approach has been successful in generating a considerable amount of incremental business from existing customers. As a result, revenue growth had compounded and the company was facing the inevitable expansion of its adviser and administrative teams to cope with its expanding client portfolio.
However, the DMC directors have discovered a way to effectively manage growth and maximise revenues from new and existing customers without expanding their cost base. The company has chosen to implement industry leading ACT! contact management software. More »»

Dukes Bailiffs Solution
Established in 1993, Dukes are certificated Bailiffs and Debt Recovery agents currently located in Staffordshire and Merseyside, offering an enviable range of services throughout England and Wales.
Dukes are proud to receive instructions from a wide-ranging client base and have achieved this by recognising that many of their existing and prospective clients work to tight timescales and budgetary constraints. They have developed working relationships to free up as much of their Clients’ resource and time as is possible, whilst constantly delivering an exceptionally high level of service. This has proved to be a considerable differentiator for Dukes, and a key factor in securing new business.
Customer and contact data was organised with the aid of Excel spreadsheets and Outlook handled activity management. However, as the business expanded, Dukes found that the lack of multi-user access and limited functionality was inhibiting. The systems in place were not able to effectively support continued growth and thus became impractical to use.
Management immediately recognised a need to implement a more scalable and flexible solution that would enable them to manage client activities and interactions and monitor business development performance and results.
The system also needed to support a distributed implementation topology whereby staff could access and share common data from a number of UK locations. More »»
