Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

Technology and strategy that helps businesses manage interactions with prospects and customers, streamlining processes to improve profitability. A CRM system acts as a centralized database, storing contact information, tracking interactions, managing sales leads, and analyzing customer data. 

Centralized database that replaces scattered spreadsheets and paper notes with a single “source of truth”. It collects customer information—like contact details, purchase history, and service requests—and makes it accessible to different teams.
