Key Tour de Force CRM Features:
- Account Management: Account-centric, not Contact-centric
- Tour de Force CRM is designed with the business-to-business (B2B) sales company in mind. An Account within Tour de Force CRM typically represents a relationship with another company with which your company does business. An Account can be a “parent” to virtually any item in the Tour de Force CRM hierarchy. This allows you to link virtually unlimited information to an Account while the Account itself remains unchanged.

- Tour de Force CRM is a 5th generation product built on a robust architecture, making Tour de Force CRM more flexible than ever. Tour de Force CRM was designed specifically for the distribution industry, but has been adapted by a number of other industries including Manufacturing, Construction, Furniture Dealers, and Technology.
- Completely Configurable: Virtually unlimited User-Defined Fields
- Tour de Force CRM’s reliance on user-defined fields makes it tremendously flexible. During your company’s initial implementation of Tour de Force CRM, YOU decide on the terminology the software uses and tailor the software to fit your sales processes. After implementation, you have complete control over the user-defined fields with the ability to add, update, or remove fields at will using the Tour de Force CRM Screen Designer.
- True Enterprise Collaboration: Increase communication throughout your entire organization
- Tour de Force CRM is a truly collaborative environment that can be accessed online, offline, or mobile, ensuring your data is available 24/7. All CRM data is fully inter-related, offering easy access between users from multiple locations and interfaces.
- Easy conversion from other CRM products: Escape your restrictive CRM system
