Who Zoho CRM is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Quebec, this service is likely a good fit.

Problems Zoho CRM solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Quebec.
Reports built by hand
Managers spend hours compiling numbers. Dashboards give live pipeline and activity views. For a Quebec company, the local angle is GST/HST and the expectations of the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities.
Data scattered across inboxes
Notes and quotes buried in email make hand-over difficult. A shared record keeps history in one place. We see this regularly with aerospace businesses in Montreal and Quebec City.
No link between sales and finance
Won deals should flow into invoicing. Connecting CRM to Zoho Books removes re-entry and errors. video games firms in Quebec often ask us to check this first.
