Soffront CRM Q&A

Customer of the month - Worldlink Integration

Worldlink Integration Group, Inc. has selected on-demand Soffront CRM to improve productivity and data integration.

“We wanted to improve productivity in all aspects of our business and integrate all customer, prospect, and project data into one system,” said David R. Clarke, president and CFO of Worldlink Integration Group. “We also wanted to increase our customer’s ability to securely communicate with us and access collateral material through the web, thereby improving customer service.”

Worldlink selected Soffront because it provided the best features and the most flexibility. “As a mid-market organization, we needed a product that was customizable and flexible, but not too large,” commented Clarke. “Other products we looked at were not as flexible or were just too cumbersome for our needs.”

Worldlink is also improving efficiency using Soffront CRM portals. The portals act as the doorway to Soffront CRM applications and other applications such as accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP). “All of the accounting, project management, and contact applications we use are integrated with Soffront CRM, which also improves our productivity,” continued Clarke.

Integrating customer support and product development

Soffront has a new whitepaper on how to reduce cost and increase your ability to support your customers by integrating customer support and product development.

Companies who get the best results from their Customer Support and Defect Tracking development systems are those who use integrated system. Maintaining two different systems has many costs and issues. They cost more to use and support, and they inhibit the flow of information to engineering of possible product problems, and the flow of information to support about problems that have been resolved.
Soffront CRM offers this integration. Soffront pioneered this in 1992 with the first integrated Defect Tracking and Customer Support solution.

Learn about:

  • The importance of integrating Customer Support and Defect Tracking systems.

  • The costs of maintaining two different systems.

  • The Benefits of integrated systems that speed solutions of problems, and increase productivity and effectiveness.
