- Expert Review
Commit™ CRM is developed by Commit Business Solutions Ltd., part of the Commit Group. The Commit Group was founded in 1997 and specializes in CRM and other software solutions for small businesses.
Advertised as an alternative to Goldmine CRM, The Commit™ Solution for Computer Services is a customer relationship management solution designed especially for smaller computer service providers, such as those who sell hardware and off-the-shelf software, perform local repairs, provide maintenance services, IT outsourcing, and focus on IT project delivery.
Commit™ aids computer service providers with calls from customers by handling call reception, call assignment, service call billing and ticket closure.
Contract management is integrated into Commit’s workflow starting from contract creation, through tracking work duration, expenses, parts and outstanding debts, billing based on customer contracts, and ending with monthly reports.
Intelligent field force dispatching enables businesses to avoid over-dispatching specific employees, and to optimize on-site visits based on geographical location and workload availability. With one click in the Commit™ system the dispatcher can see the current workload and who is available for dispatching to open tickets.
Commit™CRM consolidates customer information, including service calls, open/closed tickets, all customer interactions and more, for greater ease of access.
Commit’s integrated software/parts/component catalog helps computer service providers close the loop on the billing process of matching labor done vs. parts sold.
