Overall Satisfaction with Zoho CRM

The first objective we had was to centralize all communication between our associates and our customers, this was easily achieved with Zoho Desk. Its features, which include the ability to create multiple departments, allowed us to route inquiries quickly to the appropriate department and maintain visibility for other members of the organization. The 2nd objective was to provide a platform for our corporate staff to be able to assign work orders to our field technicians across Canada and the USA and Zoho Cases was the perfect solution. From there we explored more features and rolled them out as required like Zoho Social, Analytics, and SalesIQ.
  • Case Management
  • Ticket Management
  • Analytics
  • Account Management
  • Integration between Zoho Desk and CRM is not very flexible, fields that appear in one do not appear in the other, which makes it difficult to reconcile the data; I would love for Desk to just be another tab within CRM.
  • Products Module on Zoho Desk is insufficient for a company with thousands of products like ours. I struggle to manage duplicates and other import bugs.
  • I'd like to be able to clone settings between departments in Zoho Desk
  • Maintain a low sales shrinkage, below 5%
  • Prevent margin erosion due to poor product quality
  • Prevent brand equity destruction by identifying customer pain points faster
It's nearly perfect but the products are not consistent in relation to each other. i.e Products module on CRM is not the same as the Products module on Desk.

Yes

We're what is considered a vertically integrated company, which means we don't rely heavily on outside support; independence is built into our company culture. Having something we could manage ourselves without much help was key to the success of the implementation. Zoho CRM's ease of use allowed several departments within our company to leverage Zoho CRM in different ways. Retail Operations relies on it for Order Fulfillment, our Customer Care team relies on it for communication both live chat and email. Our Field Technicians use it to book appointments and provide feedback for our Quality department. The eCommerce team can follow up on bugs and issues brought up by the website users. The executive team utilizes Analytics to understand customer incidents that lead to a bad experience. Where it is less appropriate is with telephony (no integration with MS Teams) and the marketing products have a way to go before being able to fulfill our business requirements.

Even if there is no solution, the response time is impressive and so is the follow-up.
