GP handles most of the basic functions such as human resource management, payroll, and distribution. has also made great improvements in the update process

Improving our sales with Sage CRM
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
This is a very complete software that helped us to improve sales, because we were able to carry out marketing campaigns more effectively, thanks to a good segmentation of customers, and we were able to launch it not only by email, but also through our social networks, capturing more customers.
Pros
- It has the integration to different social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, helping us to find potential customers in different digital media.
- It allows us to store a large database of all our potential customers and current customers and shows a history of the relationship with the customer, to improve the commercial treatment towards them.
- It has a mobile application that I can access at any time and I can attend my clients no matter if I am out of the office.
Cons
- It is a pretty good and useful software, as long as it works together with integrations with other accounting and email software, but it would be ideal if they already come with those functions.
- The fact that each module or function has an additional cost, greatly limits its use.
- It is quite heavy to load each requested information and to open the tools and functions.
Return on Investment
- It is a software that, due to its simple interface and ease of use, allowed the work team to adapt perfectly to it, increasing the performance of the sales, marketing and accounting departments. It helped us to provide our clients with a better service, so our clients are happier.

Pros

Return on Investment
- Overall our experience with Sage has exceeded our expectation however the pricing is over our budget in regards to what our niche is.
