CRM – Customer Relationship Management !!!
Keeping track of all your customers cases, is no easy feat. We try to make notes keep texts emails excel files regarding it all. The problem with this approach is this system is fragmented and is heavily dependent on a single person who makes the notes. The information is not available for other colleagues who might need to take over the project or collaborate on it. An elegant solution to this problem is having your customer information in centralized place so everyone with proper credentials will have access to the data.
Information kept in the database might be as simple as names, phone numbers, addresses. But it can be invoices, trouble tickets, purchase orders, projects etc. We can build custom containers specific to your needs and business logic. Database systems can be connected to your phone system and when a customer calls the database will find his record and present it to you so you have all the data just when you need it.
There are lots of CRM systems available for you. Many will be hosted offsite and you will be charged per employ using the database on a monthly basis. But this is not the only way. You can have a local server and all your information will be kept on your hardware. This way you will not have recurring charges per user connecting to your CRM system. We can customize the installation and configuration of your CRM based on your needs and your budget.

Purchase Management
Creating Invoices is very common for small businesses but Purchase Orders seems to be seen in the enterprise realm. It does not need to be this way. Keeping track of Purchases is a great time and money savor for small business. You can create a PO within minutes and email it to your supplier with one click. You will be able to track what you ordered from what supplier at what price and when was it delivered to your office all in one place. No more guessing game. “Where did i purchase this ?” and logging into countless store portals to check the tracking or the order date.
First step is to create a RFQ – Request for Quotation this is a document you can email to your supplier to get a price quote. After getting the price you update your PO with the amount and confirm it. This make it a valid PO with a unique number you can track this order by. You can assign this purchase to any project or sales order you are working on to help you keep track of your costs.
When you confirm a PO couple of very important things happen. Additionally to getting a unique number two more documents are generated in the background for you.
- Supplier Invoice for your accounting. Your account payable will know exactly what invoices they can expect in the mail so when in a month you get that bill you will know exactly what is it for and if the price is as agreed when ordering.
- Incoming Shipment notification for your shipping and receiving department. When UPS or Fedex shows up on your doorstep you will not need to run around the office to find out what “THIS” is who ordered “IT” and what order does it belong to.
