When it comes to software applications aimed at providing support for small and medium-sized businesses, nothing comes close to the trail made by Sage. Sage has long been known for their very flexile suite of applications as well as easy-to-understand user interface that makes it easy for business owners to implement the software without having to lose a great number of man hours.
What makes people even more stick to Sage is the good sense of foresight by which Sage comes up with software solutions that would have otherwise been expensive for small business owners. A good illustration of this is the Act! by Sage Contac and Customer Relationship Management software.
The Act CRM is actually connected to a contact manager. The good this about this is that, with just a click of the button, you can actually send an email or any marketing material to your targeted clients. Because you already have the client’s buying history at hand, you can already check whether the current product or service that you are endorsing is something that they would be interested in.
Some of the salient points of Act CRM include the ability to manage your team using the software’s interface as well as the ability to share information. With this software application, there is no more need for you to constantly pepper your bulletin boards with a lot of numbers, status reports and announcements. There is also no more need for your team members to constantly bug one another in search of client sales history.
The rich functionality of the
Act CRM also allows for easy integration with a number of accounting software applications. It even allows you to monitor sales from the cradle to the grave with areas for you to write down notes about the client’s specific instructions or preferences. With its more than 50 report templates, you can easily see where your company is heading and make the necessary changes in your strategies before it is too late.
The
Act CRM software is compatible with Windows, XP, Vista and 2003 as the desktop as well as server OS. It makes use of MySQL as its database.
