Boston, Mass, August 03, 2011 – TimeLinx Software today announced that Sage North America has selected the TimeLinx professional services and project management solution for CRM-based PSM to expand its Endorsed Development Partner Program to their Sage CRM solution. TimeLinx will be exclusively distributed through the extensive Sage reseller channel across North, South and Central America and the Philippines.
Sage will market Sage Project Management for Sage CRM by TimeLinx, which embeds project management and time- and expense entry functions directly within Sage CRM LAN, Cloud and web offerings. Sage Business Partners will now have the opportunity to sell, implement and support Sage Project Management as the new “Project Management Edition for Sage CRM” solution.
TimeLinx extends the Sage CRM system – Sage’s flagship CRM offering – throughout the service delivery lifecycle for firms providing professional services and tracking and controlling service costs. (TimeLinx also offers three additional Editions for Sage CRM and similar Editions for Sage CRM). By integrating CRM with professional services, TimeLinx eliminates data silos and provides information essential to Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, Customer Service and Support, Finance and senior management. TimeLinx enables real-time data-sharing across the organization on the tasks, timelines, resources, and profitability of every project, client, and consultant.
TimeLinx strengthens Sage’s CRM offerings within service and manufacturing businesses, appealing to a major percentage of the Sage customer base.
“Sage CRM and TimeLinx, working together, give our customers the necessary visibility into the entire service delivery and customer lifecycles – a unique offering for our CRM customers and the CRM market in general,” says Jeff Gregorec, Vice President of Sales and Strategic Alliances for Sage CRM Solutions. “Any business providing services to their customers in consulting, technology services, manufacturing, and other industries will find this solution very compelling.”
Manage Tasks, Dollars, and Profits
“TimeLinx enables companies to not only manage the tasks and calendars of projects but also manage and precisely control dollars and maximize profits through our proprietary rules-based Revenue Optimization Engine™,” notes TimeLinx President Mark Engelberg.
TimeLinx with Sage CRM replaces redundant and costly applications, spreadsheets and databases with a single client database, eliminating time-consuming and error-prone rekeying of information. “By building on top of a CRM solution, all customer information is stored in the same system and various departments can maximize, in real-time, the profitability of any customer, project, task, consultant, the category of work and more,” Engelberg says.
