Integration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A CRM system works best when linked to other apps and software. &#8220;CRM integration&#8221; means connecting a CRM system with other systems so a business&#8217;s customer data can be smoothly mixed with other systems. These other systems might not have anything to do with the CRM system, but sharing data helps both sides work better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different businesses have different ways of doing integration. For some, it&#8217;s easy, like connecting a CRM to parts of a company website. This is often built into CRM software. But bigger and more complicated businesses might need to link a CRM to many other systems, like an ERP system, which helps plan everything a business does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most times, connecting a CRM to other systems uses something called APIs (application programming interfaces). There&#8217;s also a tool called &#8220;integration platform as a service&#8221; (iPaaS), which helps share information between different systems. This is a common way to make CRM integrations work smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_CRM_integration_relevant_to_CRM_stakeholders\"><\/span>How is CRM integration relevant to CRM stakeholders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>For the business owner\u2014who can&#8217;t figure out the satisfaction percentage of their customers and keeps struggling to determine how happy their customers are, what they like, what they don&#8217;t, and how satisfied they are?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>For an employee\u2014who relies on over 900 applications to carry out various tasks.

Order and Inventory Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; This tool monitors orders and inventory systems for info on what people are buying, how much you have, and how well things are moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Supply Chain Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Data from supply chain systems helps you improve how you get things from point A to point B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. CRM Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; CRM systems are like the HQ for customer info to track their details, interactions, and feedback to help you build better relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.
