He explained the problem solved. When using the wisible program, its convenience and ease of Use allow sales to instantly update information. Help everyone see the same information. And he also sees the work process of each person in the team. This is not a work Control.

Everyone can access this information because it is centralized, it helps us to evaluate our work and make sales forecasts.

‘Wisible Platform ‘is a standard CRM platform by default. However, for business purposes, we must separate data by Sales and Sales Executive, including the status of each customer. So we asked wisible to adapt the feature to the work style to maximize the efficiency of our teamwork. The collection of leads from online marketing on all platforms including customer information that Walk-in into the showroom as well where all the information will be sent to the system we can immediately see the number of Leads every day that come from different channels.
