Picture this: Your sales team closes a deal in your CRM, but the project details need to be manually re-entered into your project management system. Your project managers update timelines in one tool, while account managers check another for client communications. Meanwhile, your clients are asking for updates that exist somewhere across these disconnected systems. Sound familiar?
Industry research reveals that agencies lose up to 30% of their productive time switching between systems and manually transferring information. Even worse, 65% of client dissatisfaction cases stem from communication gaps created by these fragmented systems. But there’s a solution: integrated client management systems that create a seamless flow from sale to delivery.
