How CRM Benefits Sage 300 CRE Users
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software is the fastest growing software niche for all sized businesses, including those in the construction industry.
Adding CRM software to an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) program like Sage 300 CRE benefits your construction business in a variety of ways. An ERP works with internal business functions while a CRM is external-facing and manages customer data. When working together, a CRM and an ERP offers benefits that are greater than the sum of the individual parts.
A CRM program allows a construction business to review and manage all prospects and jobs moving through their sales pipeline. A CRM records all contact information and all interactions with clients including, email, phone calls, meetings and notes taken, and what the next steps are, keeping your team up-to-date and on the same page.
A CRM program integrated with Sage 300 CRE provides users one comprehensive, easy-to-use, desktop with access to all client information, as well as information on potential clients in one organized place.
A CRM and Sage 300 CRE integration will allow all of your teams, sales, marketing, service, and finance to work together through shared resources and data. All departments can share complete details on all customers including, all contact information, job status, workflow information, needed tasks, and due dates saving time and creating a more efficient and capable workplace.
