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
- 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.

Managing addresses with the social media integration
- 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.
