Working with Jira and Confluence allows your data to be shared amongst your team and keeps everyone in the loop. Teams are aware of the deadlines, documentation, progress and all other relevant tasks.

  • But where do the customers fit in?
  • How can you store your customers data so that everyone can access it easily?
  • How can your sales process be clear and easily accessible to all?

How can teams work together through sharing content?

Imagine you have a marketing team that manages all the marketing campaigns for a new product release. They handle the newsletters, mailings, and other activities for current customers and for new customers. Then, you have the sales team that finds new leads, converts them into customers, negotiates the contract and finally closes the deal. The product development team will have to ensure the product is ready on time and the developer should know exactly what the customer wants. Administration will need to know that a new product is going to be made and delivered to the customer so they will need to handle the administration process. And finally the finance team will also need to be informed to make the quotation. But, how can you ensure that all these teams receive all the information needed at the right time?

Web development use case for Atlas CRM

Let's take for example, a web design company, called "Spec". Once Spec has a new customer they would add all the customer's details they believe would be relevant. Then, they would add the company that the customer represents.

With Sales in Jira, Spec will now have an overview of:

  • A list of all customers and companies they represent;
  • All the issues related to the customer;
  • How much each customer has purchased;
  • Which sales are in progress;
  • Documents that have been shared with each customer and;
  • A report overview of the company's sales.
