Why sfCRM is unique

SFCRM  provides robust Customer Relationship Management functionalities that empower businesses to optimize the effectiveness of their sales, marketing and customer care teams. In addition, SFCRM offers unique capabilities that allow it to meet the critical requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises better than any other CRM vendor.

The following is a snapshot of our product differentiators, showing why you should choose SFCRM:

 
1.  

Freedom of Choice – True Platform Flexibility
Most growing businesses eventually migrate to an in-house CRM system to satisfy the need for sophisticated, end-to-end process integration. SFCRM provides the capability to seamlessly move to an in-house CRM system and vice versa; it is the only hosted CRM provider with this true seamless platform flexibility. In addition, SFCRM is available as a turnkey appliance completely loaded with operating system (Windows or Linux) with plug 'n go capability.

 

2.

Seamless Off-the-Shelf Integration
View customer account payables, order information and logistical information. SFCRM offers seamless integration to all of your back office apps using XML API's, presenting a true 360 degree view of your customers and empowering your staff to provide enhanced service.
 

3.

Immediate Deployment 
With SFCRM in in-house installation mode, the  deployment times are of the order of a couple of hours. In  the hosted there's nothing to install, so you can get started without calling your IT department or waiting for a consultant's help. In fact, you and your entire team can be up and running with SFCRM in a matter a day or less.
 

4.

Affordable
With SFCRM, the key advantages of affordability are features and functionality comparable to Siebel OnDemand/SalesForce.com at the pricing of GoldMine and Maximizer. In the hosted mode, one low price gets you everything you need – your CRM application, support, training, backups, updates and more – without large upfront software and hardware investments or a dedicated system administrator. Your CRM costs scale according to your organization's growth.
 

5. Ease-of-Use
Everything from the user interface to opportunity workflows to accounts and order information reporting has been developed for ease of use. Plus, because SFCRM integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook, you can conveniently use Outlook in the offline mode to keep track of your Contacts and appointments. 
 
6. No Learning curve for customization(no programming required)
SFCRM easily adapts to the way you work by letting you customize the system either in the hosted mode or the in-house installation. You can define specific processes unique to your business, describe your own fields, profile key attributes and create your own screens, tabs, lists and views – without having to do any programming.
 
7.

True Verticalization

By providing an extensive database vocabulary editor, you can easily configure and customize to your own domain 'jargon", workflow and processes with the built-in customization tools within SFCRM.

 

8. Built-In Opportunity processes and Workflows
Keep everyone on the same page with CRM workflows that allow your entire team to follow identical processes. With SFCRM, you can see exactly where each sale  is and when it's expected to be complete.
 
9. Anytime, Anywhere Access
As SFCRM is web enabled, 24-hour secured access from anywhere in the world is available in all modes of deployment - in-house, hosted, appliance or subscription modes. No matter where your employees are, they've got complete access to the data they need most. Plus, with wireless device support, your salespeople can access prospect information on their handheld PDAs.
