Customer relationship management combines processes and software for organizing relationships with customers and prospects. A customer relationship management system commonly records contacts, accounts, conversations, opportunities, and follow-up activity.
Agents can retrieve context from and write approved results to these systems. Because the records are operational, updates need identity checks, field ownership, validation, and coordination with human representatives.
