When it comes to a CRM and project management software, there are a plethora of choices on the market. They range in size from small SAAS programs to huge enterprise platforms. Some of them are even niched towards certain industries and workflow type.
When it comes to solar, Janus is the only CRM and Project Management platform designed for the solar industry. If you are ready to see what Janus can do for you, contact us to schedule a demo. If you are unsure or on the fence about leaving your current CRM for Janus, here are three signs that your current CRM is not working for you.
First, you are using multiple programs to accomplish your goals. One of the biggest indicators that your CRM isn’t working for you, or your company has outgrown it, is the need to use multiple platforms to supplement each other. This is a frequent occurrence in the solar industry given the unique needs of the solar installations.
This is also an indication of the level of service that your CRM offers. If you have specific needs and they are not able to accommodate those needs or develop the platform towards solving these problems, then clearly they do not have your best interests in mind. With Janus, we bring all aspects into one program. We want the system to fit your company like a glove.
Second, there are parts of the platform that you skip or never have a need for. This will frequently happen with a lot of the larger, more costly out-of-the box CRMs and project management platforms. With these, they have attempted to capture so many different markets that their platform has become bloated with fields that are not relevant to you, your company, or the solar industry.
Each time you have to null out or skip a field, you are wasting precious time. Over the course of many installations, this can not only turn into a significant time sink, but also a headache, especially when it comes to training new employees.
With Janus, we offer a custom platform. If there is a step that doesn’t work or fields that your company does not use, we alter your version just for you.
Lastly, your employees aren’t using it. One of the biggest failures of a CRM happens when your employees flat out don’t use it. There is nothing worse than paying for something that you aren’t making use of!
There are several factors that make employees stop using a platform. One of the biggest is the inefficiency and not tailored to the workflow of the company. You and your employees see a shortcut and they take it to save time. The second biggest reason for failure to use a platform is that the software is non intuitive and difficult to use.
Janus is tailored so that each role fulfills the needs of that position. If your employees don’t use a field or a simple feature, it is simple to remove. All of the system is based on the concept that the platform should be as easy to use and cater to the solar industry.
If any of these sound familiar, then your company could benefit greatly from Janus. Call us for a demo.
