Integrating Zoho Sign with Zoho CRM
Available in all data centers
Zoho Sign offers its integration with Zoho CRM, our customer relationship management software. This integration helps to send, sign, and manage sales agreements, business contracts, and other documents directly from Zoho CRM, saving time and closing deals faster.
Consider a scenario where Zylker is an organization that sells laptops and accessories and uses Zoho CRM to manage its leads and customers. Whenever a client places a bulk laptop order for their company, the Zylker sales team can instantly send a sales agreement or purchase contract, which has been saved as a reusable template Zoho Sign. They can easily map fields from their CRM record with the fields present in the template, thus saving them the time to manually add values before sending the paperwork for signature. Once the document has been sent for signature, its status can be easily tracked from the CRM dashboard, thus saving the hassle of tracking the paperwork and ensuring faster approvals. This not only reduces deal closure time, but also provides a better customer experience.
