Tall Emu CRM

Our overall experience with Tall Emu has been truly exceptional. It has enabled us to significantly enhance our lead conversion rate, enabling us to achieve our KPIs with greater efficiency. The automation features in our marketing efforts have proven to be particularly efficient, leading to improved customer relationships. Additionally, we've found immense value in its customizable contact database, automated communication log, customer timeline, and a host of other features. These functionalities have fostered a sense of unity within our sales team. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Tall Emu to any business looking to streamline their processes and elevate their productivity to the next level.

We started using the CRM to fill some of the huge gaps that Xero had in customer-facing documents; multiple addresses per customer, parent/child customer accounts to name a couple. It did this with ease, and we now use Tall Emu for any customer-facing documents except for statements. But we found Tall Emu CRM to fill so many other gaps in our day-to-day business running, we have set Tall Emu tabs up on most computers as the default window that opens when you start up the browsers.We're using the CRM as an ERP, for generating invoices, quotes, purchase orders, processing payments in, managing stock, organising our manufacturing throughput with BOM's, tracking costs, and more.

TS was easy for me to implement and is great value for money.

What we liked. The CRM functionality of this program includes most of the basics, this program began its life as a reasonable CRM, development towards intended ERP functionality has however rendered it unstable. Sales Reporting is quite flexible and any data recorded can usually be transformed into intuitive and helpful reports. Beware, without a savvy IT person in house to develop these they can be quite expensive to outsource to TE Support.

What we disliked. Integrating CRM Software into a business's sales and admin processes is always a challenge. Heavily advertised as the CRM solution that can connect to everything - it can connect but the workflow limitations and intermittent freezing of the program leave a lot to be desired. Don't do what we did and trust - we went by their word that Tall Emu integration and connection with MYOB was something they did well.... sadly this was not so and to date they have not yet delivered a stable solution to this. The support team is quite cordial although if you are not on a costly support plan you will likely receive an invoice following your support phone call. The attitude can be a little defensive and you'll be asked to replicate the problem on-screen with their support personnel remotely watching before they take you seriously. This is time consuming and frustrating for staff ..the glitches aren't usually their fault! In perspective... client experiences and feedback will make good software excellent. On the flipside software vendors who release under-developed software often unfairly utilise the client(at their expense) to develop their products.

It has been a time consuming and costly exercise for our company including the cost of stress leave for some of our staff. Consider one proven ERP system to remove the inefficiencies in the transfer of data between CRM-Accounting systems.

Tips for those considering Tall Emu CRM. Check at least 3 references of prior installs that integrate Tall Emu CRM Systems with other accounting software. If you do decide on Tall Emu, submit a water tight brief after gaining an intimate knowledge of what you need it to do and what success will look like. Negotiate an implementation payment plan retaining 30-40% of roll-out costs until the scope has been met and the software is functioning efficiently.

We have been looking for a CRM for a long time and needed to find a software that caters not only for our sales team but also one that would incorporate our existing processes and accounting system ie MYOB. We had looked at other softwares but the MYOB integration was not available so they only did half the job. The MYOB integration and comprehensive modules selection made us feel that Tall Emu was the perfect, and obvious choice for our business for now and as our company grows. With Tall Emu being owned by MYOB there is also the comfort of knowing that the product will continue to grow and improve. Unlike other off-the-shelve softwares, the support has been excellent with quick responses when required.
