CRM

Customer Relationship Management

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a term for methodologies, software and Internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage business partner (customers, suppliers, agents) relationships in an organized way. For example, an enterprise might build a database about its customers that describes relationships in sufficient detail so that management, salespeople, service technicians and the customer is able to access information, match customer needs with product plans and offerings, remind customers of service requirements, know what other products a customer had purchased and so forth.

CRM is in fact a misnomer when considered in the context of the Adaxa Suite because it provides the management of relationships not only with customers but with anyone that is involved in a relationship with the organization.

The Adaxa Suite incorporates a CRM that eliminates the need to synchronize separate databases of contact, customer, product and trading information. When a new customer record is created in a centralized management system it is immediately available in all other Adaxa Suite components (depending on the attributes associated with the customer information entered).
