Simple Customer Relation Management Tool for SharePoint

The Problem with Traditional CRM Systems

Most CRM software systems on the market today are complicated and difficult to manage. While the promise of a Customer Relationship Management system is to simplify and improve how you track customer data, communications, and sales opportunities, the reality is often the opposite. Initial setup requires extensive implementation. IT specialists or outside consultants are frequently needed just to get the system operational. Once that hurdle is cleared, employees need to be trained to adapt to the software, which often has a steep learning curve.

In many organizations, the rollout of a traditional CRM system creates more headaches than improvements. Staff struggle with unfamiliar workflows, managers spend more time troubleshooting than managing, and executives question the return on investment. It is not uncommon for companies to spend months configuring and deploying CRM software only to see adoption fail because the system is too complex. When that happens, the organization is left with an expensive tool that does not deliver results.

There is a much simpler alternative. Instead of committing to a large, rigid system that demands constant maintenance and training, you can adopt a streamlined CRM solution. This approach focuses on what actually matters: capturing customer information, tracking interactions, and supporting sales activities in a way that is simple, fast, and effective.

Introducing a Streamlined CRM Solution in SharePoint

In our next webinar, we will demonstrate a simplified CRM system built directly in SharePoint. This solution lets you get set up in minutes and begin using it right away. No complex configuration. No overwhelming interface. Just a straightforward system that helps you manage customers, track sales opportunities, and improve communication.

Because this system is built using Infowise Ultimate Forms in SharePoint, it requires no coding or technical expertise. It is flexible enough to adapt to your processes but simple enough to use without extensive training. If your team already works in SharePoint, adoption will be immediate. Employees do not need to learn a brand-new platform because the solution integrates seamlessly into the environment they already know.

Key Features of the Simplified CRM System

This SharePoint-based CRM solution is designed around features that solve real business problems without unnecessary complexity. Here are the core capabilities that make it so effective:

• Easily manage new prospect information - Capture leads quickly and keep everything in one place. No more lost notes or scattered spreadsheets.

• Use the same system to manage customer information - Convert prospects to customers with a single step, while retaining the full history of interactions.

• Automatically track communication history - Every email, call, and meeting can be logged automatically so your team always has context.

• Automate email communication - Send targeted, automated emails to prospects and customers based on triggers or templates.

• Track sales opportunities and follow ups - Stay on top of deals, assign follow-up tasks, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

• Create and manage customer-related tasks - Link tasks directly to customer records so that everything is centralized.

• Built-in reports - Use included reports to monitor progress, track opportunities, and measure results.

These features provide everything most businesses need in a CRM without the complexity of a traditional system.

Why a Simplified CRM System Works Better for Many Organizations

One of the main reasons this solution is so effective is that it focuses on adoption. A system only works if your team actually uses it. Traditional CRM software often fails because it overwhelms employees with features they do not need. By contrast, this streamlined approach emphasizes simplicity.

Employees can begin entering data, tracking opportunities, and communicating with customers almost immediately. Managers gain visibility into pipelines and customer relationships without requiring weeks of training. Executives see value quickly because the system starts delivering results right away.

Another benefit is scalability. While this CRM system is simple, it is not limited. You can expand the system gradually as your needs grow. Because it is built in SharePoint using Infowise Ultimate Forms, customization is easy. New fields, views, and automation can be added without disrupting your existing data or workflows. This flexibility means the system grows with you instead of forcing you into rigid processes.

Practical Use Cases

Consider a small sales team that relies on spreadsheets and emails to manage their pipeline. Data gets lost, opportunities are forgotten, and there is no central record of customer history. By adopting this SharePoint-based CRM solution, the team gains a single, organized system where every lead, customer, and opportunity is tracked. Communication history is automatically logged, tasks are assigned, and reports are available at a glance. Within days, the sales process becomes more consistent and effective.

Now consider a mid-sized services company that wants a CRM but cannot afford months of setup and training. Instead of investing in a large, complex CRM, they implement this streamlined solution. The system is live within hours, employees understand it immediately, and managers have visibility into opportunities right away. The company saves time, money, and avoids the common pitfalls of overcomplicated systems.
