CRM Software for Leads, Sales Teams and Field Sales Visits

Turn every contact into an opportunity, and every opportunity into a lasting business relationship. The lead and customer relationship management (CRM) module in iCore ERP gives sales, marketing and management one connected place to run the whole customer journey, from first contact to the quotation, closing the deal and keeping the relationship. It brings leads, opportunities, activities, meetings, tasks, field visits, photos, locations and reports together, so management knows what was done, by whom, what comes next and what it achieved.

Frequently asked questions

Lead management & CRM: frequently asked questions

What does the iCore CRM cover?

The whole customer journey: leads with their sources and campaigns, sales teams and reps, calls, meetings and tasks, field visits with location and photos, opportunities on a Kanban board, and quotations, through to turning the lead into a loyal customer.

Can I follow sales reps in the field?

Yes. The rep opens the task on their device and records the visit location, photos, notes, outcome, any amount collected and the customer’s signature when needed, and visit reports show results by rep and customer.

Can I create a quotation from an opportunity?

Yes. The quotation is created from the customer data already recorded, linked to the opportunity, and can later become a sales order or invoice.

Can I see which campaigns work best?

Yes. Every lead’s source and campaign are recorded, and reports show the opportunities and sales each campaign and source produced.

Does the history follow the customer when the rep changes?

Yes. The file keeps the full history of activities, meetings, visits and opportunities, so the new rep continues the follow-up without starting from zero.
