What is customer management software?

Customer management is keeping everything you know about the people and companies who buy from you in one organised place. Customer management software holds each customer as a record with their details, the people you speak to, the work you do for them and the documents you send, so anyone on your team can pick up the account and know where things stand.

CIPHER CRM keeps every customer as one full record. You store the legal name that prints on your documents, a logo, a tax label and number, a required currency, one or more customer groups, an active or inactive status, assignees, tags and a description. Tabs on the record gather Contacts, Checklist, Attachments, Documents, Tasks, Reminders, Projects, Proposals, Estimates, Invoices, Credit Notes and the Activity log, so the full relationship is one click away. Filters for Assigned to me, Created by me and Pinned, plus assignee, tag and group, narrow a long list, and full text search finds the rest. Once any sale document exists for a customer, its currency locks, so older invoices never change under you. Each customer also has an internal chat for your team, private notes only you can see and a separate support thread for the customer, kept apart from your internal talk.

Customer management in CIPHER CRM
The problem

What happens without customer management

The agreement is in email, the invoices are in another tool and the project notes are in a chat, so nobody has the full picture of one customer.

An invoice goes out with the wrong company name because someone typed the short trading name instead of the legal one.

Someone changes a customer's currency after bills have gone out, and the old documents no longer add up.

Customers who stopped buying years ago clutter the list, but deleting them would throw away their history.

Team talk about a customer happens in personal chats, so the next person on the account never sees it.

What slips without Customer management
Capabilities

What you can do with customer management

  • The details that print, stored once

    Legal name, logo, tax label and number sit on the customer, so every proposal and invoice uses the same correct details.

    multiple tax rates

  • The whole account in tabs

    Contacts, tasks, reminders, projects, proposals, estimates, invoices, credit notes, files and the activity log are all tabs on the customer.

    project management crm

  • Find any customer fast

    Filter by Assigned to me, Created by me or Pinned, then by assignee, tag or group, or search the full text.

    customer segmentation crm

  • A currency lock that protects the past

    Every customer has a required currency, and once a sale document exists it cannot change, so old bills stay correct.

    multi-currency crm

  • Active or inactive status

    Switch a customer to inactive when they stop buying, and their history stays on the record for when you need it.

  • Team talk, private notes and support, kept apart

    Each customer has an internal team chat, private notes only you see and a walled-off support thread for the customer's own people.

Why CIPHER

Why customer management is better in CIPHER

Most CRMs keep the customer in one place and the billing somewhere else. In CIPHER CRM the invoices, projects and conversations are tabs on the customer itself.

  • Sales and billing on one record

    Proposals, estimates, invoices and credit notes sit next to projects and tasks, so what you sold and what you billed are side by side.

  • Past documents stay safe

    The currency lock means nobody can switch a customer's currency after billing starts and break the totals on older documents.

  • Three conversations that never mix

    Internal chat, private notes and the customer support thread are separate, so nothing meant for the team reaches the client.

  • Every feature in every plan

    The full customer record, all of its tabs and every filter come with every workspace. Most teams are live in 1 to 3 days, with free data migration.

How it works

How customer management works in CIPHER CRM

  1. Add the customer

    Enter the legal name, logo, tax details and currency, or convert a won lead and let its details carry across.

  2. Sort and assign

    Put the customer in one or more groups, add tags and assign the teammates who look after the account.

  3. Add the people

    Add each contact you deal with, with their own phone, email and job title.

  4. Run the account from its tabs

    Open projects, tasks, proposals and invoices from the customer's tabs, so everything linked to the account is in one place.

  5. Find it again

    Use the filters or full text search to jump back to any customer whenever you need them.

In action

Customer management in action, by industry

Construction

Before a payment meeting, a builder opens a developer's customer record and sees three projects, with each job's invoices easy to tell apart.

Legal

A law firm stores the client's full legal name and tax number on the customer record, so every invoice for the matter carries the right details.

Ecommerce & Retail

An online wholesaler marks a stockist that closed as inactive, keeping its old invoices and credit notes on the record for the year-end books.

Financial Services

An accounting practice discusses a client's file in the internal team chat and answers the client's own questions in the separate support thread.

Media

A production house filters customers by the account manager assigned to them, then opens each one's Proposals tab before the monthly pipeline review.

What is customer management software?

Customer management software keeps everything about the people and companies who buy from you in one place. In CIPHER CRM each customer has one record with their details, contacts, projects, tasks, proposals, estimates, invoices, credit notes, files and an activity log, so the whole account is easy to follow.

What does a customer record in CIPHER CRM hold?

It holds the legal name, logo, tax label and number, currency, customer groups, active or inactive status, assignees, tags and a description. Tabs add contacts, a checklist, attachments, documents, tasks, reminders, projects, proposals, estimates, invoices, credit notes and a full activity log for that customer.

What is the legal name on a customer used for?

The legal name is the one that prints on your documents. Keeping it separate means your team can know a customer by a short or trading name while every proposal, estimate and invoice still carries the full, correct company name that the customer's accounts team expects to see.

Can I change a customer's currency later?

Each customer needs a currency, and you can change it until the first sale document is created. After that the currency locks, because changing it would break the totals on documents already sent. This keeps proposals, invoices and credit notes for that customer consistent over time.

What happens when a customer stops buying?

Switch the customer to inactive. Their record, contacts, documents and activity log stay in place, so you keep the full history for accounts or for the day they come back, while your active customers stay easier to work through day to day.

Can my team talk about a customer without the customer seeing?

Yes. Each customer has an internal chat for your team and private notes that only you can see. The customer's own people use a separate, walled-off support thread. The three never mix, so internal discussion stays internal and the client sees only what is meant for them.

Can I email or message a customer from the record?

Email and WhatsApp tabs on the customer record are in development and not live yet. For now, each contact on the customer has one-click call, WhatsApp and email buttons that open your own phone, chat or email, and portal contacts can reach you through the support thread.
