Irish software company QMS Software’s flagship technology Ulysses has been selected by Canon in Malaysia as its strategic business platform for sales management.

“Canon is adopting Ulysses to manage our entire sales force throughout Malaysia so that the salespeople not only get more time to sell, but also get to sell smarter with the information Ulysses provides,” Mr Ooi, commercial director of Canon Malaysia stated at the signing ceremony for the official awarding of contract to QMS Software Asia Pacific for the supply of their Ulysses CRM solution.

“Ulysses enables us to deliver an outstanding service to our customers,” Ooi, continued. “Staff can instantly access the complete, accurate and up-to-date customer information in Ulysses.

Ulysses will be deployed at Canon’s headquarters in Shah Alam and across Canon Malaysia’s seven branches.

“Easy customisation, rapid implementation and effortless integration with their ERP solution were the key reasons that Canon chose Ulysses as the platform for sales automation,” said Ooi. “The level of service we get from QMS Software Asia Pacific is absolutely superb.”

Ulysses provides a complete view of customer interactions across sales, marketing, customer service and support. Teams can collaborate and respond promptly and knowledgeably to customer inquiries and sales opportunities.
