Sharp Electronics Corporation Improves Customer Relationships and Drives Sales
Grand prize-winner Sharp Electronics identified an opportunity to use portal and process integration technology from SAP NetWeaver to enable an automated credit card process for customer and employee orders, reducing time spent manually entering and authorizing purchases. The integration of Sharp Electronics technology with services from Paypal (credit card payment gateway) and First Data Corp (credit card clearing house) through SAP NetWeaver delivered improved customer satisfaction, efficiencies in ordering processes, and reduced delayed or missed payments. In addition, the company was able to consolidate the number of third-party manual credit card solutions in use and eliminate liability of manual credit card processing. As Sharp Electronics uses this project to lay the foundation for additional e-commerce projects, the company predicts a potential sales increase of seven to nine percent.
