monday CRM Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

How our team use monday CRM is to help organize & keep structure of our invoicing processes. We have many boards to our team use, but the main one we use is out "COTI" board which gives a run down of all required documentation & certain tabs needed to push a deal through the next phase to get invoiced. In the case there is a discrepancy that is needed to be addressed, we are able to tag the needed individuals and inform them of the request. My role also requires to calculate reps commissions for each machine sale I invoiced, and we use a monday CRM board called "warranty & profit". We use this board to keep track of our cost for each individual deal that we get & input into our ERP system while also using this board to calculate our gross profit for each sale. I feel like problem we had before the use of monday CRM, was the lack of interfacing between our systems & as well as the customizability. monday CRM so far as looks to be responding well to our systems and offers great options on how we are able to customize each board, with ability to run automations smoothly.

Pros

  • Has excellent options to modify your view to your liking.
  • Automation capabilities run smoothly.
  • Has a user friendly interface.
  • Options to have multiple view settings for each person with ability to save there view preference.

Cons

  • There has been some lag at times with the automation, cutting that time down would help for less timely transitions.
  • When were creating new models for each machine, I noticed we are limited to a certain amount from our drop down feature, if we could expand that number, that would certainly help.
  • Having the ability to share items across multiple platforms would be a great feature to add on as well.

Return on Investment

  • I feel since we integrated to monday CRM, that the speed of our invoicing rate has increased, due to the easier navigation monday CRM provides.
  • Communication with other peers & departments has become easier to reach out since we all share this platform and able to tag the needed person.
  • We are also able to view and give reports easier to our VP's/ higher up, providing visibility and graphs of our trending sales numbers categorized by each store with different sales type.
