THE CRM REVI EW


Online Customer Relationship Management (CRM) that shows effective CRM is more than just lists of customers’ names! Woosabi offers startups and smaller businesses “Low Cost – High Benefits – Pay As You Go” CRM that removes the complexity of separate business systems.


Woosabi was created by its owners to manage customer records, however, control of essentials such as invoicing, quoting and cash management, was chaotic at best and often a complete mess! The owners needed the help of an Office PA; but PAs cost money, which was in short supply. So necessity forced change. The result is today’s Woosabi.


It removes the barriers to online software use by startups and smaller businesses. Concerns, including cost, long contracts, complexity, flexibility and value for money, are wiped away with this product.


Woosabi‘s 5 Essentials for Business: CRM, Invoicing, Quoting, Cash Flow Management and a Virtual Office PA (VOPA), are all in one application. These essentials are integrated and auto-linked. Auto-completion-filing is a great benefit throughout the product, saving time and effort for the user. For example, cash flow’s income and expenditure sections are auto-updated when an invoice is marked as “paid” or an expense created.


The VOPA one page summary is the business conscience and barometer, for instance: giving auto-reminders to send invoices and quotes, or to chase unpaid invoices; warning of non-buying customers; showing cash in-out status.


24/7 online access is via PCs, laptops, tablets or smartphones; and if a user wants to stop using Woosabi, a simple “click” allows saving and exporting details of contacts, invoices and quotes.


The 5 Essentials, separately, could cost well over £30 per month per user; so all of them in One Application, for only £9.99 pm for 10 users, makes Woosabi great value!
