Sage SalesLogix Helps Coverall Cleaning Concepts Extend CRM Functionality to 200 Users and 23 Regional Support Centers

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - July 24, 2007) - Sage Software today announced that Coverall Cleaning Concepts, a leading commercial cleaning franchise company, is using the Sage SalesLogix CRM solution to manage its sales processes. SyncSite, a Sage CRM Solutions Business partner, was selected by Coverall to implement Sage SalesLogix at its 23 regional support centers, including wireless laptop synchronization support for 110 field sales representatives. Coverall has 200 Sage SalesLogix users in all.

"We compared different CRM packages and found that Sage SalesLogix delivered the best fit for our industry and sales model," said Ivan Sosa, IT Director for Coverall Cleaning Concepts. "SyncSite has likewise proven to be an ideal fit by aggressively driving rapid rollout from city to city while also providing valuable training to our staff. We expect that this ideal combination of software and implementation expertise will help us achieve a full return on our Sage SalesLogix investment in the first year."

Technology Investment Widens Competitive Gap

Coverall Cleaning Concepts began its nationwide Sage SalesLogix rollout in March of this year after considering alternatives including salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Entellium. Coverall chose Sage SalesLogix for its ease of use, affordability, implementation speed, and ability to integrate with other business systems.

"Coverall is aggressive about investing in technology to aid their cleaning account sales and support processes," explained Nick Kyriazis of SyncSite. "The company has benefited from our implementation of Sage SalesLogix and the flexibility it affords for integrating with other operational systems."

Coverall next plans to have SyncSite integrate Sage SalesLogix with its in-house billing and customer service systems.

"Investments in technology have become a significant differentiator for us, which is not the norm for franchisors in the commercial office cleaning industry," explained Sosa. "Sage SalesLogix has cost-effectively increased our sales team's productivity in only a short time. We are penetrating our market faster and have become more cost competitive and service oriented based on the inherited CRM process efficiencies."
