Features for the whole company

A customer calls, this call could be for reception, or for sales, or even for the Director's personal assistant. As soon as the phone rings, you can see on the screen who is calling, their name and the name of their company. You know when the last customer contact took place and you can answer any questions they have about their open order professionally without having to transfer them and put them on hold.

How does that work?

The CRM software collates all your information together into one central platform. Any new information is automatically assigned to the relevant customer: phone calls, e-mails, appointments, projects, orders, birthdays, favorite colors or anything at all that you decide is important and relevant. In this way, each member of staff contributes towards maintaining a complete, chronological customer dossier and this forms the heart of your CRM software. There is no loss of information.

The functions in detail

Dashboard

The dashboard displays all relevant information at a glance.
  • Your dashboard provides you with a comprehensive and fully customizable view of your CRM software, this is where you can see all of your important information at a glance.
  • In addition, the company dashboard displays information of interest to the whole company.
  • As with navigators, you can save your dashboard view and create as many of them as you wish for whatever you need, for example, a sales dashboard, marketing dashboard and support dashboard.

Managing addresses with the social media integration

At the touch-of-a-button, you can call up all the information you have on a contact person.
  • Any unstructured contact information you have is copied into the address wizard and transformed into structured information. After checking for duplicates, the address data is copied directly into the CRM system.
  • Addresses can be managed according to, for example, company addresses or contact persons. Sorting is made easier by using categories, issuing customer numbers and using input wizards.
  • When you are creating a new address data record, a consistency check is carried out, for example, postal code/city/federal state/country or first name/form of address. The CRM software recognizes when something does not fit together and suggests an alternative.
  • In addition, reference databases from address service providers such as YellowMap check, correct and enrich addresses according to your requirements.
  • You can display locations from address data records in the software and then start route planning software.
  • Access to addresses can be restricted to: public access, user-sensitive according to specific participants, or even private.
  • Now, you can complement any missing address information by using the social network integration to access address data on Facebook, Xing or Twitter. You can access social media platforms in real-time using your own logon data.

Customer dossier

The customer dossier contains all your customer data.
  • Customer dossiers provide you with all customer-relevant information.
  • Everything you need to know about your customer can be found in the customer dossier, all entries related to a customer address such as e-mails, appointments, tasks, documents, orders, resource planning receipts, and so on.
  • All of your customer information is stored in a chronological and structured manner, and is available to everyone company-wide - saving you time and money.
  • In the customer dossier, you can create new entries or edit existing entries.

Search data systematically
