ConvergeHub & Google Apps – A Winning Combination!

Watch your sales, marketing and customer service agent for a day, and take down their time spent doing double data entry. Multiply these figures and calculate the cost of the time. This is the money that your business is losing daily!

Shocked?

Well, whether you have a 100 or 10,000 member company, making your team invest time on entering and re-entering data in different standalone systems is a mar on your business productivity.

Forrester Research claims that businesses housing data in disparate applications unknowingly withhold customer information that results into missing selling opportunities. If only there is a single, shareable and centralized repository then it becomes easier for businesses to collaborate, communicate and share information, all from a single place.

In view of this fact, many experts have advocated the step of integrating disparate applications into one combined and comprehensive platform. And one of the most suggested integrations in this list is:

Google Apps and CRM

In the present time, when both CRM and Google Apps play a crucial role in every business’s functioning – the combination of both these systems will result into a great synergy and a best-of-breed offering. That’s because businesses can synchronize both the systems’ data and access Google Apps information from within CRM or vice versa. This will accelerate productivity and save ample time.

Cloud based CRM application ConvergeHub (CRM Idol 2014 semi-finalist) has announced its platform’s integration with Google Apps that includes Contacts and Calendar. ConvergeHub further plans to complement its CRM with additional Google App integrations that includes Google Docs and Google Mail.
