A good business owner knows very well that customers are the the life of every enterprise. Thus, it is only logical for every venture to have solid and reliable customer management practices in place and implemented effectively and efficiently. With the modern working environment we now have, old school customer relationship strategies are now getting a lot of modern touches, especially when it comes to software and cloud-based applications.

Customer relationship management systems, commonly referred to as CRMs, have redefined the way businesses handle their clientele and prospective customers. From gathering and organizing customer information, understanding their behavior, analyzing trends and shifts in the market, to devising strategies to attract, convert, and retain clients, CRMs help business owners do this all and more.

If you are running a large corporation, you certainly need a CRM platform that can handle the stress of managing customer relations at the top level. While there is a wide selection of CRM systems out there, only a few are developed with the functionality, the flexibility, and the efficiency to match the huge demands at the corporate level.

1. Nimble



With a very affordable price tag of $15 per month per user, one would think that Nimble is something developed as an entry level software dedicated for small businesses. And it is relatively young as well, considering it was launched back in 2009. But the platform has gained traction, especially for enterprises that are on the lookout for a cost-effective web-based customer relationship tool.

Nimble is very basic right from the box and carries the standard functionalities that one expects from a modern CRM software, such as management and communication tools.  But what makes Nimble very popular among business owners, entrepreneurs, and managers is its deep integration with popular social media channels like Google +, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. With Nimble, users can tune in to social media activity to analyze customer trends, determine shifts and patterns, and watch out as well as follow business opportunities.

The social media integration also allows Nimble users to see how their products or services are faring in social networking sites and from there, devise and implement strategies to improve their overall business performance. In short, Nimble links up all your customers; social media account to your system so you will be able to get a clearer and bigger picture of their relationship to your business.

An Apple iOS app is already available and a slew of other apps are being developed for more advanced tasks.

NetSuite CRM is a fully loaded, vastly integrated cloud-based CRM software that can take on businesses of all sizes. However, NetSuite is not a cost effective option as it can be budget busting, depending on how many industry-specific tools and features you want included with your bundle. Apart from the CRM functionalities, NetSuite CRM offers users added capabilities like purchase order management, inventory control, e-commerce activity and human resources.

Highly flexible and customizable, the only flaw many people see in NetSuite CRM is its limited capability as a mobile app. While most business software are offered in Android, NetSuite is currently offered in Apple iOS.
