Apptivo Earns PCMag Editors' Choice, Tops List of Best CRM Tools of 2015

FREMONT, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2015) - Apptivo, a highly integrative software service, providing affordable customer relationship management (CRM) systems to meet the needs of today's businesses, has been recently touted by the highly reputable team at PCMag as a top contender in its field. With a virtual suite of over 50 apps, Apptivo offers uniquely comprehensive assistance in practically every area of business -- from CRM and project management to invoicing, time tracking, shipping and financials.

As PCMag points out, "Apptivo stands apart as one of the most flexible and affordable CRM tools on the market." This recent Editors' Choice for CRM software is highly customizable, with the ability to meet the needs of any organization, no matter the size. Apptivo's friendly approach -- highlighted by 24 hour support and a hands-on development team -- offers clients the room to modify the service to their satisfaction. Through Apptivo's 50 applications that span many categories, businesses can effectively monitor their entire operation via features that address project management, product output, financial flow, supply chain, scheduling, hiring and more.

While PCMag mentions Apptivo may not integrate with all business software on the market, it points out that Apptivo's vast capabilities as a full suite of solutions leaves little need for outside assistance. Moreover, all apps in Apptivo's software are accessible through REST API and are fully interoperable with all leading business technologies including Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, QuickBooks and others.

Founded in 2011 by CEO Bastin Gerald, Apptivo's mission is to help its clients collaborate with customers and partners and also compete against large competitors who may have stronger technological infrastructure than them. Catching on quick, businesses such as Beckman Coulter, Inc. (research and diagnostics) and Falken Tire have already integrated Apptivo into their day-to-day operations. In addition, Apptivo has seamlessly partnered with effective management systems, such as business payment facilitator, Zipmark, and global analytics leader, StratApps. Since launching, Apptivo has also garnered a slew of accolades, including a Small Business Influencer Award in 2014 and a 2014 Smart Choice Award. In just a few short years, Apptivo's swift and steady growth has cultivated hundreds of thousands of businesses in over 194 countries.

Not only has PCMag selected Apptivo for a coveted Editors' Choice nod, it has also recently placed the CRM software company at the top of The Best CRM Tools of 2015 list, with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 -- sharing the number one spot with main competitor, SalesForce. However, as PCMag illustrates, a huge difference in monthly base price separates the two -- with Apptivo starting at $10 per user and Saleforce starting at $25 per user.

Apptivo CRO, Vishal Kaushal, could not be more pleased with the latest endorsements from PCMag: "For years, PCMag has been accurately informing consumers and businesses about the best and latest in software technology. To be given their stamp of approval as leader in CRM software speaks volumes. We could not be more thrilled."
