Cloud-Based Solution Enables 360-Degree View of Buyer Journeys

ALPHARETTA, GA, September 28, 2021 – Today, Aptean, a global provider of mission-critical enterprise software solutions, announced the launch of a new integrated offering joining its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software and Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition.

  • Access to rich marketing campaign performance and sales lead data that can help production anticipate demand to forecast schedules and maintain optimized inventory levels.

  • Improved customer experience and relationships, streamlined internal processes and enhanced productivity.
