Adding Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Leads, Opportunities, and Products

Start tracking the entire consumer journey by adding customer details, including information about Accounts, Contacts, Cases, and more. With key knowledge at their fingertips, Users can more effectively interact with their clients to ensure an optimal experience every time.

Create Cases to track calls or emails to the support team. Sales teams can enter Leads and easily convert them to Opportunities as the potential for a sale increases. Users can also tie specific Product offerings to an Account or Lead/Opportunity for tracking purposes or future upselling.
