Nutshell CRM vs. Tour de Force CRM

This can be used for different industries, healthcare, IT, retail or any company with a customer service line, big or small. if i had to ask, i would say "Do you have any type of filing system that you use?" "anything where you are keeping track of personal/ business information." Do you need access to information on a day to day basis? If they do , then this can be used , especially if you need to keep track of the numbers; we like how we can see if are things going up or down.

Tour de Force can be very useful if you have someone on staff to configure and set it up. It needs constant upkeep with changes in what's needed, and constant updates. This would not be good for small businesses that do not have a sales teem. They charge heavily for tech support.

• Customization - we are able to make Nutshell make the most sense for our company and processes
• Scheduling - the ability to set tasks allows us to never forget a follow-up call or email
• Tags - allow us to prioritize leads and segment our customers and potential customers
• Communication - the ability to tag colleagues in notes for callbacks or updates to accounts is very helpful to keep everyone on the same page
• Email History - being able to blind copy all our email communication to Nutshell, allows us to have email threads and notes all in one place

• We can quickly see Customers sales for the week, month, year, and past years.
• We can get deep into the data of a customers sales history and what they are or aren't buying.

• SWOT analysis --- currently we put this in as custom fields but they don't link up at all and are hard to read/navigate. We also use the custom fields for other information we want to capture. It would be nice to build those in so they can show the info as bullet points or something --- currently paragraph form and hard to find things at a glance.
• Funnel could use some work. Only shows how many leads are currently in that part of the pipeline which doesn't give us a good historical comparison.

• There's too much data, and sales people have trouble finding what they need.
• It can be hard for IT or sales manager to manage all the data in an informational way.

This is perfect for a small business / Home based business with SaaS. Nutshell constantly adds new features and the price is much better than more robust software like Salesforce.

Implementation is difficult everytime but this was relatively simple due to the small amount of data we moved

Well, my team had trials for these others and they all prefer Nutshell for different reasons. I prefer it as I need a user-friendly software to help me out as I am not a big tech guy. I have heard others in the office say things like they like the way activities are scheduled better, or the way nothing ever gets accidentally erased if they hard crash or power goes out.

Tour de Force was less expensive than Sales Force, and has more abilities that Epicor CRM.
