What does MiniCRM offer?

By using MiniCRM, you can access the details of existing and potential customers

  • and anytime.

You can organise your tasks, and customers by using Filters and managing tasks in separate Modules according to the company’s scope of activity, and the types of products and services offered by your company.

Statuses in each module stand for the consecutive steps of a business sequence, and define the next partial goal that have to be attained to achieve the final goal of the given project, and/or show the result of the next task(s).

You can assign various tasks to your colleagues and control the activity of the Owner who is responsible for the tasks.

Reports are made based on information recorded manually on Cards (Opportunity, Ticket, Project) and information collected via Web forms. As a result you can get a comprehensive picture of the positive and negative business impacts of your decisions.

Contacts can be managed on cards.

By setting Follow-up sequences you can send circular notes. By using Templates, your e-mail messages can be fully customised according to your company’s image.

Statuses

According to the philosophy of MiniCRM, sales is a process, whereby leads are moved step by step to actual purchase and the one-off customers are turned into regular customers. At every step you are trying to sell the next step and not immediately the final product.

Make it sales, customer service activity, general project or marketing tasks, the goal in every case is to support our customers in order to successfully move forward within the process by consequently and gradually accomplishing all related business tasks.

The sequences of this process are called statuses.

Card (Opportunity, Ticket, Project)

On cards you can record information and tasks related to your customers and relevant events. Information can be stored in fields that can be customized.

Owner

To every card and task belongs an owner who can be assigned even automatically. Owners are responsible for the completion of the business transaction. Tasks can be assigned to other users as well, not only to the owner of the card.

Contacts

The contact details of the related company, contact persons.

Filters

It is easy to create filtered lists of cards/customers based on information stored on cards and contact details. To filtered customers you can send mass messages and set follow-up sequences.

Templates

Follow-up sequence

By setting follow-up sequences, you can assign tasks to users and send customized messages to a certain group of customers so you can address our existing and potential customers directly and in a targeted manner.

Web forms
