This study considers a CRM-approach and methods for analyzing customer base. Mathematical and algorithmic support was developed for the analysis of customer value in a trading enterprise. Algorithmic support is presented using the IDEF0 notation. A software solution was developed to assess customer value in a commercial enterprise. A fragment of the data model for the software solution was developed using the IDEF1x notation. The parameters for estimating the value of customers in a commercial enterprise were calculated using the processed data obtained by applying the developed software solution. The developed software solution allows to segment the customer base according to different criteria and provide marketing recommendations to each groups of customers. Therefore, customers were divided into groups according to the calculated parameters. As a result of the analysis, each group of clients receives a marketing recommendations. After the application of recommendations an increase in the purchasing power of clients, belonging to the group to which the marketing recommendation has been provided, is expected. Another used method for analyzing the customer base in the developed software solution is the sales funnel, which displays the effectiveness of the marketing unit at each of the sales stages, thereby allowing to identify weak points in the sales department. Thus, unlike existing software solutions, the developed software allows not only to segment customers by their costs, but also to provide marketing recommendations in order to increase the enterprise’s profit. The generation of recommendations is based on the developed mathematical support. By using this mathematical support, the calculations are carried out. Customers are allocated into certain groups, each of which is provided with the relevant marketing recommendations, by using the results of the performed calculations. In addition, the developed software solution allows not only to design sales funnels, but also to analyze sales funnels.References
