WE MAKE CUSTOMER-FACING OPERATIONS MORE COMPETITIVE & PROFITABLE.
Every business understands efficiencies when it comes to production, but very few organizations optimize their customer-facing operations, where up to 30 percent of time, money, quality, brand equity, and profits are lost. Prag'madik designs immediately actionable solutions to customer-facing challenges AND helps implement them. Our core focus is to help organizations identify root-causes to their growth and cost reduction challenges and execute sustainable solutions. We also work through the complete change life-cycle, addressing critical infrastructure elements from internal culture, to process and communications optimization, ensuring long-term results.

WAYS WE'VE INCREASED PROFITABILITY & COMPETITIVENESS
REDUCING CUSTOMER ATTRITION BY ELIMINATING COMMUNICATION INEFFICIENCIES CLIENT: Regional Small Business Development Organization SITUATION: A recent membership pricing increase was impacting renewals, and another price increase was scheduled to follow, risking over $486,000 in membership revenues. SOLUTION: Prag'madik designed and implemented a comprehensive member-education communications plan, along with developing additional value-added member programs, online payment processes, and a rate-lock grandfather clause. OUTCOMES: Member renewal rates exceeded 86%, in addition to a 14% increase in new memberships, generating over $491,000 in revenue.
INCREASING MARKETING PRODUCTIVITY WITHOUT ADDING HEADCOUNT CLIENT: INC 5000 Global Manufacturing Company SITUATION: A 4-person Marketing team was maintaining over 900 product documents, consuming over 8,320 hours equating to $225,760 spent each year, with no clear returns. SOLUTION: Prag'madik designed a streamlined review and approval process, along with implementing a database-driven infrastructure to automate and standardize material creation. OUTCOMES: Hours spent on document creation was reduced by 82%, content accuracy increased by 96%, and over $187,550 in manpower was re-purposed towards profit-impacting activities.
INCREASING SALES PROFITS BY DIVERSIFYING MARKETS CLIENT: INC 1000 International Manufacturer SITUATION: With a shrinking market and increased pricing pressures, an industry-specific manufacturer was facing a projected loss of $1,865,245 in revenues. SOLUTION: Prag'madik developed a market diversification strategy, leveraging the company's unique in-house skillsets and production capabilities, expanding 2 new product lines into 3 additional sales channels. OUTCOMES: Revenues increased by 65% within 8 months, including the raising of average product margins by 12%, generating more than $347,965 in profit.
INCREASING SALES EFFICIENCY BY STREAMLINING DATA ACCESS CLIENT: INC 5000 International Manufacturer SITUATION: The sales force struggled to increase top-line revenue, due to extensive amounts of time required to find product data across 4 different digital platforms. SOLUTION: Prag'madik conducted a time and process evaluation, and simplified product information access and delivery through the implementation of a CMS system, designing a data architecture for 5,657 parts. OUTCOMES: By modernizing the 20-year old legacy system infrastructure, internal data search time was reduced by 71% overall, equating to over $461,500 in man-hours saved.
INEFFICIENT CUSTOMER OPERATIONS CAN DRAIN PROFITABILITY 1. They Cost Large Amounts of Money A business with 100 employees spends an average downtime of 17 hours a week clarifying communication, translating to an annual cost of $528,443, according to a study by Siemens (2016). 2. They Eat Up Massive Amounts of Time According to a study done by The McKinsey Global Institute (2016), over 61% of an employee's time per week is spent on communication or finding and gathering information versus only 39% of time spent on role-specific tasks. 3. They Reduce Organizational Quality 86% of corporate executives, employees and educators say that ineffective communications & processes is a big reason for failures in the workplace, according to Salesforce.com (2017). 4. They Lower Employee & Customer Retention Organizations with high levels of customer-facing operational inefficiencies saw 18% higher employee turnover, 36% lower profitability, and 65% higher customer attrition, according to Gallup (2015).

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"We knew we had an image issue that was impacting membership revenues. We’d been through the process before, having worked with advertising agencies that didn't understand business. Prag'madik brought a solution that transformed the way our organization engages members, increasing retention 86%." Paul Rumler Fmr. Chief Strategy Officer Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce "We had a huge challenge with increasing sales traction, and Prag'madik understood how to effectively position, message, and craft a sales program to REALLY sell, instead of the standard fluff. Our external sales team has not just embraced it, but we've seen a 82% uptick in sales in only a few short weeks." Anthony Stedillie Chief Executive Officer Knowta "Our competition was killing us online. We brought on Prag'madik to modernize our online presence, but they went above and beyond to identify and reveal strategic threats and opportunities to the business that has changed our entire model. They aren't just a vendor, they are a growth partner." Jim Claassen Fmr. Chief Operations Officer Marco Group International

THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THREAT Technology has fundamentally changed the game for manufacturing. Just like back in the time of the Industrial Revolution, technological innovations have transformed production, customer engagement, information management, and more.
THE diFFERENTIATION THREAT Differentiation is challenging. In the manufacturing space, many companies with perceived "commodity" products, continue to feel the pressure from customers to provide high quality products at a lower and lower price point. This "race to the bottom" is a means to an end - an end of a profitable business.
WHY MANUFACTURERS NEED ACTIONABLE BUSINESS STRATEGIES Many times, strategic consultants will come into a company, implement a high-level evaluation of markets, competitors, and industries, and deliver a thick document on areas for the business to focus on. All good and well, but here comes the rub.
