Remote working and how S3 CRM can help
With the advent of the Internet and the continual advancements in communications it is no wonder that remote working is becoming more and more popular for many reasons. Remote working means that a business or organisation have workers who are not actually based on site, instead they work from a non central location (often their own homes) and log into the website or web based application that their business operates and runs. From there they will carry out their duties in their role as they would if they were on site but without having to travel to another place of work.
Obviously remote working carries benefits and drawbacks however for the majority of businesses who choose to let their employees work remotely the benefits vastly outweigh the drawbacks. If you have a business that uses remote workers or you are looking to allow your employees to work remotely you need a software application that can assist and able this to be done. S3 CRM is ideal if you are in this position for many reasons such as:-
1. S3 CRM is web based – this first and foremost is the most crucial aspect of remote working – you and your employees need to be able to access the same software application as each other and this needs to be web based. Web based applications have the benefit of not being installed onto one (or more) particular computer as with many other software applications. This means that as long as you or one of your employees has a username and password they can access the application from wherever they are in the world and work as though they were in the same building as the business.
2. S3 CRM updates are carried out in real time – this is another benefit if you are remotely working as you need to know that the information that you have in front of you is correct and up to date. Information that is old and incorrect is an absolute no-no in business as to be misinformed is to be left behind. S3 CRM puts an end to incorrect and old information and lets you and your workforce use information that is accurate and up to date.
3. S3 CRM has amazing document storage features – one aspect of many businesses that can cause problems, especially when working remotely is where to store important documents relating to customers and projects. S3 CRM allows you and your employees to attach and store documents, files, meeting notes and more so that nothing goes missing ever again. If you or an employee needs information on a certain order or customer simply log into S3 CRM and retrieve it – what could be easier?
S3 CRM also incorporates a business wide employee calendar so you can see at a glance who is doing what and which projects are approaching their deadlines. This gives you, as the business owner, a greater control over what is going on in the business even if all of your employees work remotely.
