Industry segment: Tourism

Implemented from November 2002 to March 2003, SalesLogix has helped Qualmark expand its business and also spread into new markets…


With the success of the epic movie The Lord of the Rings, New Zealand has had and still has a growing number of international visitors visiting and tourism is now the biggest industry in terms of foreign exchange. In 2001, the New Zealand Government launched a national tourism strategy to re-energise the industry and promote the country as a desirable, unique and quality holiday destination. An important part of this strategy involved developing New Zealand tourism’s official quality mark, the Qualmark™ When it came to finding a technology solution that would help grow Qualmark, the company partnered with New Zealand Solution Providers, The Integrators, who recommended and installed SalesLogix Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution for mid-sized businesses.

Implemented from November 2002 to March 2003, SalesLogix, crm solution software has helped Qualmark 

  • Expand its business 
  • Spread into new markets 
  • Double its customer base in just over 18 months 
  • Improve customer service 
  • Increase productivity

Qualmark staff now able to complete core tasks, such as grading accommodation properties, an hour faster than before. Qualmark can now focus on expanding its business further, in line with New Zealand’s booming tourism industry.

Fiona Luhrs, Chief Executive for Qualmark recalls: “We were a typical example of a small business struggling to fulfil its own potential. We’d reached a point where we couldn’t grow any more using the existing systems and processes in place. As such, business was grinding to a halt.” There is no doubt in Fiona Luhrs’ mind that SalesLogix, crm solutions software has helped turn the Qualmark business around. “We simply couldn’t have gone on without it,” she said. “SalesLogix has delivered endless benefits and helped us achieve growth that two years ago we would have never thought possible.” The rapid business expansion has enabled Qualmark to increase its standing as New Zealand tourism’s official quality mark. Using SalesLogix, crm solution software Qualmark has been able to double the number of licence holders on its books from 600 to 1,200.

Qualmark plan to automate its CRM system even further by introducing functionality that will allow SalesLogix, crm solution software to automatically update the data on its own website and those of its shareholders, Tourism New Zealand and the New Zealand Automobile Association, once star grades and endorsements have been finalised.
