Ridge Tool Transforms Lost Opportunities
into Sales — with CardScan for Microsoft CRM
When Ridge Tool Company migrated to Microsoft CRM, they knew they needed to do
something else better as well: contact capture. After all, even the best CRM system will
fail, especially in terms of sales and marketing performance, if the right information on
prospects and customers is not inputted on a regular basis.
For Ridge Tool, the roadblock to making this happen was the mountain of business cards
collected in the field each week. Salespeople were naturally reluctant to spend valuable
selling time keying in the information. And because typing skills were all over the map,
errors occurred. The result? Contact profiles in the CRM database were often missing,
incomplete or inaccurate. But today that problem is solved. Thanks to a solution that is fast
becoming the best practice for CRM data entry: CardScan.

CardScan Boosts CRM User Adoption and Data Quality for GS Metals
It is a common problem for companies that have salespeople spread out across the
country. How do you integrate the information they collect on prospects, customers and
opportunities into a central CRM system? Especially when salespeople are on the road and
in busy environments that make typing in data difficult?
“ It was definitely a problem for us,” says Ken Mathias, Chief Information Officer for GS Metals Corp. “The whole success of our new CRM system depended on incorporating sales information gathered by individuals in the field — quickly and accurately.”
“But,” as Chris Wilkinson, Director of Sales, puts it, “we were worried about two things:
getting our people to use the system [user adoption] and data quality.” Both top-of-thecharts
in terms of why CRM programs fail.
Fortunately, however, these two concerns were put to rest — thanks to a proven best
practice in data capture and integration: CardScan.

innovator headquartered in California. The company has an international team of salespeople,
