SuiteCRM overview

What is SuiteCRM?

SuiteCRM is an open source, modular CRM that can be configured for sales, marketing, IT or service departments in any industry, in businesses of any size. With the aim of helping businesses to boost conversions, increase sales, streamline business workflows, and improve the customer experience, SuiteCRM provides users with actionable insight into customer behavior, leads, accounts, and more. The open source format of SuiteCRM means that users can scale the application and customize modules and features to meet their business needs.

For sales and marketing teams, SuiteCRM can be used to get a clear overview of leads and opportunities through customizable and categorizable leads lists from which users can access all relevant lead information. The lead management tools within SuiteCRM facilitate the tracking of visitor activity, opened and closed opportunities, and sales funnels, in order to ensure that no opportunities are missed. Actions such as emails, follow-ups, delivery of marketing content, lead assignment, and more can be automated by creating custom business logic workflows which determine if action needs to be taken based on customer action or inaction.

Service teams can benefit from SuiteCRM’s case management, communications, and self service tools, to create an enhanced customer support experience. The cases module can be used to manage customer support requests and queries and users can log all client interactions, view contact history, incorporate template responses, and more. SuiteCRM also facilitates the creation of a knowledge base and client portal for customer self-service, so that employees have more time to spend on other tasks.

Key benefits of using SuiteCRM

  • Manage time using the calendar module which allows users to schedule meetings, calls, tasks, and share their calendar with other team members so that everyone is on the same page.

  • Create, track, evaluate, and manage marketing campaigns using SuiteCRM. Users can create campaigns, send out email marketing content, automate marketing tasks, analyse results with reports on open rate, conversions, and more.

  • Use templates to save time including email response templates for helpdesk staff to respond to common queries quicker, and web form templates to create forms for capturing leads by embedding into the company website.

  • Integrate with a wide range of third party applications including marketing solutions such as Mailchimp and Mautic, and email clients such as Outlook. The open source format and API allow users to add custom plugins with the tools they use.

  • Manage clients with a range of tools including case management, contract creation, document storage, invoice processing, lead nurturing, opportunity tracking, knowledge base creation, client self service, and much more.

    “I absolutely love that this CRM is fully opensource and if you are confident enough free to use. You can have a CRM as powerful as SalesForce for the opportunity cost of self installation.”

    “I made the mistake of rolling out a highly customized CRM and later had to add functions/features that essentially broke because of my customizations.”

    “I dislike its integration feature and module creation because it releases very fast upgrades which is not possible for a development unit to upgrade its extra modules developed by inhouse frequently.”
