Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a term used to describe the processes a company uses to track and organize its contacts with its current and prospective customers. CRM helps businesses to understand their customers’ needs and behaviours and therefore modify their business operations to improve the service provided to customers.

  • Capture relevant business data to provide marketing and business intelligence about your customers;

  • Easily share information including notes and history with your team so they can provide customers with a seamless experience no matter which team member they communicate with;

  • Ensure actions that need to be done for your customers are completed on time, by enabling you to monitor and manage the team’s activities.
