Introduction

Welcome to this user-friendly guide, designed to help you get the most out of Empress’s Customer Group feature. This feature is an essential tool for enhancing your business operations and empowering you to manage your customers more efficiently.

Introduction to Customer Groups

A Customer Group is essentially a collection of customers who share similar attributes or characteristics. By grouping customers in this way, you can tailor your business approach to meet each group’s unique needs or preferences.

This feature is particularly useful for segmenting your customer base. You can create a primary customer group and then add subgroups as needed, thereby simplifying your customer management process.

The Power of Customer Groups

One of the standout features of Customer Groups is the ability to define a price list that will be automatically applied to all customers within that group. This ensures pricing consistency across all transactions with the group.

Moreover, Empress provides trend analysis for each customer group, giving you invaluable insights into customer behavior and preferences. These insights can guide your marketing strategies and help you engage with your customers more effectively.

How to Create a Customer Group

Creating a new Customer Group in Empress is a straightforward process. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Go to CRM > Settings > Customer Group.
  2. Select a parent customer group, such as ‘All Customer Groups’.
  3. Click on ‘Add Child’.
  4. Enter the ‘Customer Group Name’.
  5. If you want to add subgroups to this group, tick the ‘Group Node’ box.
  6. Click on ‘Create New’.

Assigning Credit Limit, Default Price List, and Default Payment Terms Template

With Customer Groups, you can assign a credit limit, Price List, and Payment Terms to a specific group. These settings will automatically apply when a customer belonging to the group is selected in sales transactions, such as Sales Orders and Sales Invoices.

Default Receivable Account

Empress also allows you to assign a default receivable account to a Customer Group. This eliminates the need to create a separate accounting ledger for each customer.

In Conclusion

The Customer Group feature in Empress streamlines your customer management processes, saving you time and ensuring consistency across your operations. By assigning default settings and analyzing trends by group, you can provide a personalized and effective approach for each segment of your customer base.
