Businesses use a CRM software to stay on top of their sales and make informed decisions by analyzing the sales pipeline at different stages. In fact, one of the matters most concerning for such businesses is how to make the most of their CRM to improve their performance. CRM is a great tool for organization of client data if you want to be in touch with different aspects of a potential sale or a lead, but it does not offer mobile accessibility by default, which would enable you to analyze a potential sale and follow leads more conveniently. That is where the idea of cloud storage comes in.
Cloud Storage and Backup
Cloud storage is the way of storing documents online such that they are accessible via any device that can connect to the internet, be it a desktop or mobile. An essential practice is to set up a backup of all data over cloud to keep it safe outside of the CRM as well. Mobile access is a secondary benefit, but it comes in handy for sales teams who want to have easy access to a contact or account’s information.
Box Cloud Storage
Box is a popular choice for businesses looking at cloud backup solutions, not only because of its added security features which give the owner close control of which files are accessible to whom, but also because it offers integration with different workflow applications to make it easier to implement.
Introducing RT SugarBox: SugarCRM and Box Integration
One of the applications that Box can be integrated with is CRM, and the most popular CRM, Sugar, can now be set up to backup documents to Box with a simple plugin. With RT SugarBox, you can have the organizational benefits of the CRM with the accessibility and security features of Box, to help your business get the best of both worlds.
Each uploaded document is automatically backed up to the cloud, and if you link it to a module such as a lead of contact, SugarBox will create a special folder in cloud to store it in. This way, even on the go, you can easily find what you’re looking for.
