WORKetc’s integrated CRM and sales management module captures every online activity, from a sales email to a support ticket, from an invoice to a product purchase. Users can easily browse these events and information in a timeline for a comprehensive overview of the entire customer relationship, as well as searching and filtering customer activity history to quickly find specific information. Robust contact management enables smart lists, contact tagging, and even two-way syncing of contact lists from other cloud apps like Google.

Teams can customize their sales processes and create different workflows and stages, and use libraries of email templates to create and manage email marketing campaigns. Other features include the ability to quickly transform a lead into a project or invoice, add custom fields for tracking, and integrate with Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. Enterprise-grade analytics allow users to build custom reports, create alerts, and visualize progress with the sales pipeline.

Case Studies

Connor Steinwascher was the founder and president of an unmanned aircraft company that specialized in utilizing drones. When the company received a job to inspect 90 cell phone towers across Michigan in just 30 days, Steinwascher realized that the company needed more than just careful flying. It needed a comprehensive business solution with a robust project management solution.

WORKetc allowed the company to manage and complete its most ambitious project yet. Although the project had significant challenges, the business management software allowed Steinwascher and the team to create one big project that housed everything. WORKetc allowed them to easily organize the schedules and complete the project in an organized and convenient way.

Gillian Statham is a consultant/director at a Melbourne-based HR consulting business that provides ongoing or project-based HR services. In the past, the company was tracking its projects manually with the help of two people working 2.5 days a month. To optimize their operations, they implemented WORKetc.

Now, tracking and managing all the company’s projects just take 4 hours every month and is performed by only one project manager. This leaves the other PM to focus on growing the company further. Gillian states that with the integrated CRM and business management software, the company has complete project visibility, allowing her to easily track billable hours and see team productivity.
