eWay-CRM is a unique CRM that integrates into Microsoft Outlook. It helps you track all emails, meetings, tasks, and contacts and share them across your team. People from the manufacturing industry love eWay-CRM because they don't need to learn anything new. eWay-CRM just takes what they already work with and turn it into a complete CRM platform.
What is CRM for Manufacturing?
CRM for manufacturing (customer relationship management) is a tool that helps manufacturing organizations extend customer satisfaction and stay in control of all communications and activities related to their customers, individual jobs, and business opportunities.
It helps individual team members quickly discover where previous colleagues left off the customer and what needs to be done next. Since most companies work tightly with Microsoft Outlook, it makes sense to use a closely integrated CRM.

Why do Manufacturing Businesses love CRM inside Outlook?
Most people communicate with their customers using Microsoft Outlook. They do most of their work through emails. They use Outlook for managing contacts, planning meetings, and sometimes for keeping their TODO lists.
We at eWay-CRM want to take what you already work with and turn it into a fully-fledged CRM. Don’t use something outside Outlook if you can have a CRM system that lives inside your Outlook!
ALL ABOUT A CUSTOMER RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
