Business Case at a Glance
As a leading player in the automotive industry, this renowned manufacturer and distributor has been producing motorcycles and automobiles for over five decades.
However, they faced significant challenges in managing their operations efficiently. Their contract management process with vendors relied on manual methods such as paperwork and emails, leading to delays, errors, and a lack of centralized collaboration. Additionally, customer information was scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult to analyze data and gain meaningful insights.
To address these issues, we proposed a digital solution that integrates contract management and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. This centralized platform streamlines contract workflows with automation and digital signatures, reducing errors and delays. By consolidating customer data into a unified CRM system, the company gains deeper insights, allowing them to tailor their products and services to better meet customer needs.

Zoho CRM
A leading force in the automotive industry, this distinguished manufacturer and distributor has built a strong reputation for innovation and excellence. With a rich history spanning over five decades, the company has remained committed to shaping the mobility landscape with high-quality vehicles and cutting-edge technology.
Its journey began under visionary leadership, starting as a key distributor of motorcycles before expanding into full-scale manufacturing. This strategic growth laid the foundation for its lasting impact on the automotive sector.
A major milestone in the company's evolution came with the establishment of a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Melaka in 2003. This facility exemplifies the brand's dedication to local production and technological advancement. Here, a diverse range of vehicles is meticulously crafted, reflecting the company’s commitment to quality, reliability, and continuous innovation.
The Challenge
One of the biggest challenges for this leading automotive company was its decentralized and manual contract management process, which significantly impacted efficiency and accuracy. With contracts managed across multiple platforms, the process was slow and prone to errors.
For instance, the manual nature of contract approvals often caused unnecessary delays, affecting project timelines and overall productivity. Additionally, the risk of errors in contract documentation was higher, potentially leading to misunderstandings, disputes, and financial losses for the company.
Beyond contract management, the company also faced difficulties with customer information, which was scattered across different systems. This lack of centralized data made it challenging to gain a clear understanding of customer needs, limiting the company’s ability to make informed, strategic decisions that benefit both the business and its customers.
The Challenge
To address these challenges, Aplikasi proposed a comprehensive digital transformation strategy.
The first solution involves centralizing and automating the contract management process. By implementing a contract management system, the company can integrate all contract-related tasks into a single platform. This system enables users to create, store, and manage contracts in one place, featuring automated approval workflows, version control for tracking changes, and notifications for upcoming renewals or deadlines.
To tackle issues with scattered customer information, a unified database can be established. By leveraging data integration tools, businesses can connect disparate systems and aggregate customer data seamlessly. This ensures that all customer information is synchronized, up-to-date, and easily accessible, allowing for better decision-making and enhanced customer engagement.
Finally, implementing digital signatures further streamlines contract approvals. By integrating electronic signature software into the contract management system, users can securely sign documents using authentication methods such as biometric verification or digital certificates. These encrypted, tamper-proof signatures ensure confidentiality and compliance, providing a legally binding and efficient solution for contract processing.
Implementation and Results
For the implementation, the company will utilize Zoho Contracts to centralize contract storage and automate contract-related workflows. This application offers automation features such as reminders, approval workflows, and contract templates, ensuring seamless and efficient contract management.
By integrating Zoho CRM, the company will unify customer data and streamline customer relationship management processes. The seamless integration with other Zoho apps and external systems will provide a holistic view of customer data, enabling better insights and enhancing overall customer engagement. Additionally, implementing Zoho Sign will simplify the signing process, reducing delays and improving the security of document handling.
The adoption of Zoho Contracts, Zoho CRM, and Zoho Sign has led to a significant increase in operational efficiency, driving improved business performance and productivity. Automating processes through Zoho solutions has also resulted in substantial administrative cost savings by minimizing errors and streamlining workflows.
