Oman, 27 July 2015 : National Bank of Oman, one of the largest banks in the Sultanate of Oman, has implemented CRMnext across all its branches and offices creating a single enabling system to manage the entire customer experience.

CRMnext will power National Bank of Oman’s end-to-end lead management across all business lines and channels including branch, web, call centers etc. This will help to increase sales conversions and reduce sales cycle with a great experience for customers during the on-boarding process. CRMnext has also created a powerful customer 360 view and automated offers based on individual customer needs. This will help to better understand customer’s financial needs, and, hence increase cross-selling. The Bank is also using CRMnext’s customer service solution to manage all queries, complaints and requests across all channels to provide efficient resolutions.
