Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software

A CRM is a customer relationship management software that manages an organization’s client and prospect relationships.

It’s the ideal solution for growing business relationships, which in turn, help grow your business. Avoiding unnecessary manual management, a CRM keeps companies connected to customers all while streamlining processes between internal and external parties.

Thanks to technology advancements, CRM platforms have evolved to include more than the management of contacts, sales, and productivity. It is now used to oversee a full customer lifecycle, spanning across departments: marketing, sales, digital commerce, and customer service.

What is NetSuite CRM?

Known predominantly as an ERP software, NetSuite is so much more than an accounting system. From add-on modules to customizations to built-in applications, it’s a powerful tool that extends well beyond operational processes.

As businesses increasingly invest in ERP systems, it’s no surprise that they want a solution that does it all. Of course, this is hard to find and will require certain integrations, NetSuite does come close, servicing more than meets the eye.

Sales and marketing teams can revel in the fact that NetSuite CRM features a wide range of components that are extremely useful to managing customers, prospects, and everything in between.

For those within your company who interact with customers - customer service, sales, account managers, a CRM provides them with real-time, updated data on each customer.

NetSuite’s CRM system gives support teams a bird’s eye view of any issues and enables employees to pinpoint the problem in order to solve it appropriately.

On the sales side of operations, business functions can be greatly improved with access to records that span prospect, customer, and order data. These business functions can enforce better opportunities, help upsell, incorporate better sales forecasting, fulfillment and commission.

Marketing teams can also benefit greatly from accurate data to customer preferences, transactions, and interactions. With greater access to records, marketing can deliver consistent and targeted content across the whole lifecycle.
