What is Customer Relationship Management (CRM)?
Customer Relationship Management, best known as CRM, is a comprehensive set of process and technology utilized to manage and optimize customer relationship throughout the customer lifecycle. By aggregating customer data – from basic info like name, contact information, and company website, to purchase patterns and preferences – across different channels in one place, CRM helps brands understand customers better by enabling optimal consumer behavioural tracking, thus streamline sales, marketing and customer support activities to enhance service quality and provide the best possible customer experience.
Despite having the three basic functions of collaborative, operational and analytical, CRM technology is further divided into two types, namely on-premise CRM and cloud-based CRM. On-premise CRM, on one hand, requires users to host the IT infrastructures with the company’s own servers; while cloud-based CRM is on-demand with data stored on a remote and external network that users can access whenever they have internet connection, which is also more flexible.
Whichever CRM agency or system you opt for, a good CRM allows seamless external product integration, such as commonly used email systems and office applications, to reduce frictional set-ups. It should also be well optimized for tablets and mobiles for users’ easy access on-the-go.
