By streamlining your marketing activity and sales cycle, Opera 3 gives you the power to manage progression from prospect to customer. It helps make sure you never miss an opportunity or lose sight of a customer, and gives the sales team vital access to all prospect and customer information, even when on the road.
Once a prospect becomes a customer, you can continue to log activity such as mailings, conversations, tasks and promotion. Opera 3 CRM integrates with Outlook, Excel and Word so that you can manage your communications.
Seamless integration with Supply Chain Management and Financials eliminates re-keying and ensures account information is always close at hand.
