GrathicLink® for Salesforce.com

Overview

GrathicLink® for Salesforce.com

 

GL-SFDC- OverviewMost legacy, premise-based phone systems (e.g., Avaya, NEC, Nortel, Mitel, Panasonic, … and many others) are not integrated with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.  Call Detail Record (CDR) information from phone systems can be a valuable information source for accurate record keeping.

GrathicLink® for Salesforce.com is a process to automatically transfer CDR information from phone systems to Salesforce.com data objects.

 

 

Details

How it works

Depending on the customer’s phone system, Grathic will either install a small hardware device next to the phone system or they will install a software application on a Windows PC.  The hardware device or the software application will automatically collect the CDR information from the phone system as the CDR records are produced.  Grathic collects the raw CDR information and processes the data into a format the company’s CRM system will understand.

GrathicLink® for Salesforce.com goes a step further by associating the call record with the appropriate user and linking the call record to contacts and/or companies.

For Managers

grathlink-managers-viewManagers want to know how their employees are using – or perhaps, not using – the phone system to contact customers and prospects.  If they cannot measure phone usage, they can not manage it.

Even though GrathicLink® provides a few ‘sample’ reports, it is the responsibility of the managers and users to create their customer reports on the Call Detail Record (CDR) data.

GrathicLink® can poll for new CDR data as often as the manager/administrator desires for current status and reports.

General Users

Some users initially view this application as “Big Brother” but in the end, they appreciate how it can help them do their business better.  GrathicLink® can help them save a lot of time and keep more accurate records.

Most Salesforce.com users are requested – or sometimes required – to make a call-log entry for phone calls.  Many times, users get very busy between calls and intend to log call their activities during slower time periods.  Unfortunately, if a call log is not completed immediately after the call, many calls do not get logged or the information may be inaccurate.

GrathicLink® presents a list of all calls made or received by the user in a list format with many calls already associated with Contacts and Companies.  The user may edit the call record for more information (e.g., add notes and comments, etc.).
