For Zoho Bigin customers, the journey through the past year was smoother.
It’s been one year since Zoho, a global technology company, launched Bigin. Bigin is a pipeline centric CRM for small businesses. Within a year, 7,500 small business owners had become Zoho Bigin customers, in the Biginners Club.
Here are some categories where Bigin helps business owners: Contact management, calls, tasks, notes, deals, events and emails. All those business management tools are in one place – Bigin.
“CRM should be simple – it should just work,” said Yatheesh Raj R, Zoho product marketing lead for Bigin. “It only takes about 30 minutes to get started.
“Over the past year, there has been a remarkable rise in small businesses adopting technology to move their business operations online. A CRM system is probably one of the first few things they look for in their digital transformation journey,” he added. “At the same time, they will need solutions that work right from the get-go. This has been one of our key learnings, and it has helped us in coming up with updates that are more practical and focused on our small business customers.”
Bigin didn’t stop and rest on its success. Bigin now includes an industry-first mobile pipeline view (patent pending). There are also updates enhancing
Bigin’s capabilities in usability, extensibility and enhanced mobility. Business owners have options to customize Bigin, tailoring it to their needs and expanding customer relationships. For more information, see what’s new.
