Bitochon Sales CRM Portal vs. Highrise CRM (discontinued)

It is really suitable in case of enterprise sales as it helps reduce wastage and makes the process lean, it emulates the quality of the prerequisites of an ideal CRM and does it really well, it also helps in reducing the extent of work for the entire sales channel, easy to integrate with other dashboard panels, not ideal for a highly data based model as duplicacy is a big factor.

We chose to work with the Basecamp product and along with it came Highrise. They're a great 37 signals package together. So we chose to work with Highrise because of Basecamp

• Manage Leads, Client Conversions, Touch up points and all other order data.
• Integration with other platforms such as Vinculum etc provides ease of work.
• Ease of Analysis of performance and matching of targets.

• Easy batch upload of new contacts - if you gathered names and contact info for a bunch of people at an event or conference or what have you, put it in a spreadsheet and upload it for easy and efficient adding to the database.
• Simple communication and outreach tracking - each user has an individualized dropbox email address; you can BCC:, CC:, or forward an email to or from a client or contact, and Highrise automatically associates and records that email with the contact in the database.
• Task assignments - users can create and task assignments associated with specific contacts (ie - Send Suzy J. a gift box on Oct 1; Follow Marla K. and Billy Z. on Twitter & Facebook; Get an updated address from Nathan R.)
• Tags - easily create lists of contacts who fit certain needs (I need a: food blogger, in TX, who has a Facebook page - we have "food blogger", "TX," and "Facebook" tags in our system) that is then exportable; also useful for knowing the important associations of a particular contact.

• Has a bit of redundancy and data duplicity problems, different employees can make duplicate entries for same clients
• Sometimes non-responsive glitches appear
• Different users see different data for same clients sometimes

• Im actually pretty happy with the system as it is. The best aspect of Highrise is that it is very easy to work with - no need to struggle with manuals and lengthy training.
• Not really a problem I suppose but I pay for Highrise as part of a suite which includes other products - Basecamp, Backpack and Campfire. It would be nice to see more integration between these products.

Highrise is easy to use, has a nice UI overall, quick to load, and does most of what we need.

It's quick and easy to setup and use. There isn't any feature "bloat". Nothing to struggle with

They are quick and SO nice. They are very friendly and are eager to help.

Bitochon stacks up almost equally with zoho in most of the applications and functions for the sales team although zoho has better dashboard management and ease of analytics as compared to bitochon but bitochon stacks up easily as the better one in terms of api integration and ease of operation.

Highrise is simple to use and is run by the same folks who build Basecamp and 37Signals. We wanted something that would do the essentials without the cumbersome bells and whistles. Salesforce is almost too complicated if you don't have a whole sales operation and analytics division. One day we will probably outgrow Highrise, but not yet.

Incentivized

• Has really improved the productivity of the entire sales channel and operations team
• Ease for accounts and other software integration
• Improves overall interconnectivity of all departments

Incentivized

• Better customer service, I am able to look up client info in a more organized way
• I feel that our efficiency has really increased. Highrise is a lot faster than our old program
• Highrise keeps us very organized. but it would be helpful if there was a project management section we could implement
