What is CRM Software?

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a software solution to an aspect of the sales process that many businesses are prone to ignoring. The primary focus of CRM software is to manage customer data storage in a single location where any staff can access it. With better customer data analysis, businesses can build better relationships, offer more relevant services, and improve sales productivity.

There are many types of CRM software to cover a range of business needs from marketing, sales, customer service, and support. Not every business has the same requirements, so CRM software is often considered to fall into one or multiple of a few categories.

OPERATIONAL CRM SYSTEMS

Operation CRM is usually implemented in a Point of Sale (POS) application to store and analyse customer data. This data then provides information to staff interacting with customers or insights on better advertisement or marketing campaigns. Operational CRM systems are fantastic for enhancing your regular POS software and will enable you to provide accurate services for your customers with additional features like sales and marketing automation.

COLLABORATIVE CRM SYSTEMS

Collaborative systems are just like an operational or analytical system with added functionality to work across multiple departments in a business. The primary goal is to enable all staff to have access to any customer information obtained at any point in an interaction. With a collaborative CRM system, you can use point-of-sale data to create better customer service and support opportunities down the track, make stronger marketing campaigns and produce more satisfying customer interactions at any point.

ANALYTICAL CRM SYSTEMS

Analytical CRM systems are built for a longer timeline than operational CRM. Instead of (or in addition to) point of sale, analytical systems can analyse customer data to forecast sales patterns, and interests and track customer progress through sales funnels. These systems are great for building on leads and predicting growth in your business.

Who needs Customer Relationship Management software?

Just about every big business, especially in the technology sector, is already implementing its own custom CRM system, built specifically for its own needs. These businesses rely on data collection, parsing, and customer management to function simply due to the scope of their customer base.

But CRM software development actually offers more than the structure to access customer information that these businesses rely on, and it is very useful to businesses of any size. Even small businesses that manage their customer information manually can benefit from automating and systemising their processes to see better customer satisfaction and better sales.

Any small, medium or large business that has any interactions with customers from service requests, sales, or support can benefit from some form of CRM platform to centralise information and provide better service.

If customer loyalty and satisfaction have any impact on the success of your business model, then CRM software is the key to unlocking better outcomes and strong, stable growth.

Your business without a CRM system

Without a dedicated CRM system, you’re likely to miss out on the many opportunities and insights that are provided by knowing your customers. If you don’t have information on record for each customer interaction, many times you are treating every distinct opportunity as the first time. This can make your business feel uncaring and non-personal, potentially turning away loyal customers who expect a level of service they aren’t receiving.

Additionally, you may be wasting a large portion of your advertising budget presenting offers and benefits to customers who just aren’t interested in your services. You can cut down on your marketing spend while still maintaining the return you expect with more targeted campaigns using CRM.

FINDING THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS WITH CUSTOM CRM SOFTWARE

The right software for your business model is incredibly important to how successful your CRM system is for you. Many businesses will try generic software that covers a broad range of needs, only to find that most of the information isn’t useful at all and can provide poor insights and support for your customers.

That’s why even small and medium businesses are turning towards customer CRM development.

A CRM SYSTEM THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS

With a custom CRM system, you can build a layer of software that connects the various elements of your business model – from point of sale to marketing, budgeting, forecasting, and even support and customer service departments.

A great custom CRM solution collects information from every customer interaction that your business experiences, which can differ greatly from business to business, and enable all relevant staff to access it. Custom CRM software development can be a significant investment for your business. Still, the reach and value that it provides have an effect on every system through greater insights, happier customers, and predictable growth.

Unlike generic CRM systems, custom CRM development allows your software to grow with your company, enabling you to remain flexible and comfortable with your computer systems.

HOW MUCH DOES CRM SOFTWARE COST?

Custom CRM development projects are always price dependent on the scope and detail of the development process. This includes planning and integration to fit your current IT systems, the design and development process to customise the CRM platform to your needs, and then testing and deploying the system to ensure that your return on investment is realised.

For this reason, it’s difficult to predict the cost of custom CRM solutions. Still, the growth and customer satisfaction that is provided by a specialised solution is almost always a great investment into your company.

YOUR BUSINESS MODEL WITH CRM

What will your daily, quarterly, or annual business reports look like with your own CRM database? Your own CRM software provides a whole new range of reporting, insights, and interaction data that can enable you to forecast and track the growth of your business. This can give you the confidence to make bold decisions with greater accuracy while providing your customers with a greater experience in marketing, support, and sales.

For a business of any size, custom-built CRM allows you to provide a personal, friendly experience to your customers with any staff, any platform, and any frequency. More efficient marketing, more personal interactions, more confident staff, and more satisfied customers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Many types of CRM software are available to your business, with multiple forms of generic CRM software and any degree of custom CRM development. For you, the important factors include the type – operational, analytical, or collaborative – the scope – wide or narrow – and the growth of your business.

Engineering custom CRM software is as simple or difficult as the application. For a simple customer database for a small business, basic background processes can easily be generated to collect some information. Custom CRM development can become more challenging for large CRM solutions that generate advanced insights and provide accurate reporting.

While custom CRM software is almost always a great investment for your company, like all software, it’s only as effective as it is relevant and correctly utilised. Finding the right solution can make the difference between a functional system that promotes business-wide growth or a waste of spending on software that is left by the way-side as your business outgrows it.

Effective CRM software will enable your staff to meet customers on a more personal level, making their experience with your company a satisfying one. This alone can improve customer loyalty and greatly increase sales.
