Second CRM Supports Work From Home With An Exclusive Offer

The last few months have been a very traumatic time for all. Covid-19 has truly taken the world by surprise and has totally changed the way we live and run our day to day lives. On a global level, many organisations have been tremendously hit by the effects of the lockdown and movement control order imposed by the various governments.

In Malaysia too, the situation has been deeply felt by all and sundry. For some industries, this movement control had been good but for the majority of conventional organisations, the effects have been crippling. Most people have adopted the work from home lifestyle but their organizational connectivity and inter department coordination has not been able to be fully restored.

We at Second CRM truly understand the predicament that most organisations are going through. Using the Second CRM platform, one is able to fully run their day to day business from home without any interruptions. All departments are able to cohesively work together despite being in the comfort of their homes.

Message From Our CEO

Dear Friends and Customers,

The present Covid-19 pandemic has tremendously crippled businesses on a global scale, stalled operations, created cash flow crunches and hindered new revenue realizations. The worst hit among these are the SME’s who would usually have very slim cash reserves and are totally dependent on the day to day operations.

This global pandemic which all of us had initially expected to be brief has however proven us wrong. The trend seems to be still rising despite many countries putting in great effort in attempting to flatten the curve. Many nations have suffered and many more are still living the ordeal. When will all this come to an end, it is still very hazy to even come to that conclusion.

In order to bring this pandemic under control and to break the cycle of infection, many nations have enforced Movement Control Order and some, where the situation is much worse, have enforced a total lockdown altogether. Here in Malaysia, the government has enforced the previous and we hope that all Malaysian give their utmost cooperation by staying at home and help curb the spread of Covid-19.

Second CRM Pledges Support For A Nationwide Movement Control Order

Last night, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had announced that the entire nation shall be on a movement control order commencing March 18 to 31, 2020 in order to combat the sudden increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia. We at SoftSolvers Solutions wholeheartedly agree with the government’s decision and pledge our support to this order.

This is a crucial move as it would drastically reduce the spread of the Coronavirus and prevent new cases from emerging. Nevertheless, our customers are rest assured that business is as usual for us and we shall continue to provide our customer support services, just like any other day. This is made possible using our technology platform, Second CRM, and internet services as we are now able to work remotely in the comfort and safety of our homes.

Using Second CRM, we are able to run the entire organisation remotely and not only limited to our customer support services. Marketing Department runs as usual as they can still execute their Marketing Campaigns regardless where they are.

For our Sales Team, it is business as usual as well as they can still access all their accounts and contacts using Second CRM. Sales calls can be done as per normal and all customer interactions can be tracked in Second CRM. Any new enquiries can be immediately attended to as these are all automatically logged in the Leads module and assigned to the salesperson for further action. This ensures that all incoming enquiries are just not left unattended to during this movement control order.

 

Improve Efficiency While Working Remotely With Second CRM

The last few months have been truly trying times for all of us with the recent Covid-19 outbreak. The gravity of this outbreak had been so intense so much so World Health Organisation has classified this as a Pandemic. The spread of this Coronavirus is so rapid that the whole world has been greatly affected at such a fast and unimaginable rate.

Globally, people are taking precautionary measures and avoiding crowded places. All entry and exit points are being monitored by thermal sensors and most organisations are recording temperatures of customers and employees who come into their premises. In line with this, organisations are taking steps for the safety and wellbeing of their employees by enforcing remote working from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

This is certainly a healthy approach as it curbs the possibility of coming into contact with the deadly Coronavirus. We at SoftSolvers Solution did a one-day trial of the same and kept the entire organisation connected throughout the work day using our very own Second CRM. A post 360-degree evaluation of this exercise revealed some stunning results.
