Maximizer Software Adds Vineyardsoft’s Workflow Automation Tools

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – February 6, 2004 – Maximizer Software Inc., a leading provider of innovative customer relationship management (CRM) and contact management solutions, has partnered with Vineyardsoft Corporation to provide workflow automation tools in upcoming versions of its CRM and contact management software.

With the addition of Vineyardsoft’s software application, KnowledgeSync, Maximizer’s customers will have the ability to automate the monitoring of critical business processes that are related to their customers and prospects, including:

  • Automatic assignment and tracking of sales leads
  • Automatic routing and escalation of customer service cases to an appropriate agent
  • Automatic distribution of company information and marketing materials to prospects, customers and business partners
  • Automatic generation and distribution of Crystal Reports, so reports can be scheduled at a specific time or when triggered by the occurrence of a monitored event
  • “We are pleased to offer KnowledgeSync to Maximizer’s customers as it can take data from a CRM system and report it to the customer in an email, pager alert, dashboards, or Crystal Reports,” said James R. Murphy III, President, Vineyardsoft. “This workflow automation tool gives Maximizer’s customers the ability to look at the activities in their current operational cycle, such as what’s going on in any given hour, day or week and then run a report so they can spot and deal with issues before they become a problem.”

    “The partnership with Vineyardsoft means we can connect our customers data together so they can better monitor the activities within their business. Most companies monitor their business activity, but it’s often after the fact – too late to head off a problem such as a missed deadline or the loss of a major customer,” said Tom Bennett, Co-President and Chief Technology Officer, Maximizer Software Inc. “If valuable customer information is falling through the cracks, it’s easy to add an event monitor, for example, to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
