Project Overview
Understanding the engagement
The client faced issues with duplicate data, unstructured follow-ups, and disconnected systems across lead capture, communication, and application tracking. NuageCX implemented Zoho CRM integrated with Zoho Forms, Zoho Social, Stripe, Zoom, Calendly, the website, and the ERP portal, transforming their operations into a fully connected digital ecosystem. The solution centralized data, automated student engagement, streamlined payment & scheduling, and enabled complete visibility from inquiry to enrollment.
The Challenge
What our client needed to solve
Lead Management & Tracking Leads captured from multiple channels without a unified system. Duplicate records and unclear lead sources. No structured segregation between B2C and B2B inquiries. Progress Visibility Issues No centralized view of a student’s journey from inquiry to enrollment. Difficult to identify drop-offs or delays. Lead Nurturing Gaps Irregular follow-ups and missed reminders. No automation for scheduled engagement. Disconnected Systems Manual updates between CRM and ERP. No integration with payment, scheduling, or communication tools. Social Media Challenges Social interactions not connected with CRM. Inability to measure campaign performance accurately.
