‘No Touch’ Information Management

No-touch (also known as ‘low-touch’) information management gives Sugar Sell users a competitive advantage against other CRM’s on the market. Put simply, SugarCRM’s No-touch information management guarantees your users are presented with the most up to date, crucial customer information without having to spend time fact-finding and updating entries manually.

Sounds like magic, right? It is – all you need to enter is a customer name and email and Sugar Sell ‘fact finds’ for you in the background, seamlessly.

Typical CRM software has only been as powerful as the user inputting the data. This out-dated philosophy causes confusion, time wasted researching and a lack of precise data.

With this out-dated approach, it is almost inevitable that data will be lost, fragmented or difficult to find, leading to staff spending valuable time researching customer information amongst a pile of different data points.

No-Touch Information Management eliminates these data organisation issues by gathering and entering accurate customer data for you in the background, allowing your staff to focus on marketing, selling and customer service experiences.

SugarCRM’s ‘hint’ tool searches 100+ data stores online to bring you the most up to date information about your contacts.

Feature Overview

  • Spend less time entering and finding data and more time on high-value work
  • Captures content automatically
  • Processes and analyses data to provide the next best action guidance
  • Presents information in-context with users’ daily activities
