Aptean CRM vs. Followup CRM

This is a solid basic platform. It's not Salesforce but it IS integrated with IntuitiveERP and is included in the price. For the cost, you certainly can't get this type of functionality in other small CRM packages. If you have IntuitiveERP already and are looking to move towards a CRM package it's certainly a way to help you get your footing before deciding you need a larger scale package, but I don't know that you'd want to invest in Intuitive JUST for their CRM cycle.

One of the best things about FollowUp Power is that we can mark things for follow-up several months down the line, which we frequently have a need for since many of our clients are seasonal. For example, we'll get started working with them while they're here in Florida for the winter, then they'll head back north in the spring and not want to hear from us again until they return in the fall. With FollowUp Power, we can then mark them for follow up in the future rather than to have to somehow remember to contact them in the future.

• The system is very intuitive and a new user will be up to speed within one hour after they start using the system. There is only one place to enter all data. This allows for ease of use and minimizes data entry mistakes.

• It really needs to have the capability of listing numerous phone #s with a note beside each one ("his cell#", "her work#", "do not call before 9a.m.", etc.).
• It really needs to have the capability of listing numerous e-mail addresses ("hers", "his", "her email address at work", etc.).
• It would be nice to have a separate general information box where we could put comments in that would show every time we bring up the account (such as "her nickname is Bobbi", "their dogs name is Fido, "their son is currently stationed in France", "husband is going through chemotherapy", etc.), which would help us to remember personal details that are important to our clients.

My expectations with Salesforce.com were quite high but it was a useless tool as it didn’t concede the nature of our work and had not had enough features to make our work manageable and we have witnessed no change in our customer relationship management but on the other side if I look at Aptean then it is far beyond words in its working capabilities.
