About Crescendo

Crescendo is a content storage and management solution designed to aid businesses with sales enablement via content sharing and mobile presentation. The cloud based tools connects with Sharepoint, Google Drive, Box, Salesforce, and OneDrive to access and present content to clients or partners, both online and offline. Crescendo can be utilized by field sales teams for reliable and on-the-go access to up-to-date content and presentations to aid with closing sales.

With the aim of making it easier for sales employees to find and share content with clients, content from third party applications including Box and OneDrive can be automatically consolidated in the Crescendo presentation app. The crescendo platform can be fully customized with company branding, logos, colors, text, and more, to provide clients with a branded experience when viewing content. Users simply need to tag folders within connected apps with the Crescendo tag, and content within these folders are then made available in real time within the Crescendo app. The cloud-based solution can be accessed on a desktop or tablet device, meaning content can be shared in the office or during external field sales meetings.

The Crescendo app can be used for a range of purposes depending on enterprise needs. These include usage as a collateral briefcase for mobile sales teams, a digital solution for marketing agencies, a legal document repository for regulated industries, an in-meeting tool, a training and onboarding tool, or a distribution portal for branded content. In the backend, users can see which files have been updated and when, carry out keyword searches across all documents, make annotations on files, share documents with clients or colleagues, access analytics on content engagement, and update integrated CRM systems with new leads or opportunities.

    We needed a single source for representatives to access all content that's relevant to them. Crescendo gave us that option.

    Pros

    Crescendo is adaptable, customizeable, and was the perfect solution for distributing our sales and marketing collateral. With 27 divisions nationwide, our internal/external sales teams needed a single source to access their content. Crescendo gave us that source!

    Our sales teams and representatives now have access to the most up-to-date materials and receive push notifications anytime something new is added.

    This is a fantastic product that is easy to manage, easy to update, and perfect for any company looking to enhance their sales arsenal.

    Cons

    Requiring all new users to sign up for Box was a bit of a learning curve for our reps...but they quickly adapted and we're all good.

    From initial set-up to implementation and continuous management of Crescendo, the team have been incredibly helpful with every aspect. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] are great at listening to suggestions and acting upon them. Their flexibility to changes we suggest have been impeccable. Our sales/clinical team love how easy it is to not only view documentation, but also email directly to their customers, search documentation for information and use it as a training tool.

    Pros

    As an administrator and user of Crescendo, I cannot imagine daily working life without it! It has solved all our problems from a document management perspective and is a great solution for our sales/clinical teams having remote access to campaigns, product information, training material and key messages. As our staff are often based in hospitals, signal/internet access is often an issue. Having an app like Crescendo that can be accessed without the internet has been game-changing.

    As a marketing department, it has also been invaluable to have access to all the analytics so we can see the most used documentation and how campaigns are being utilised.

    Cons

    The only complications we sometimes have is getting staff to sync content correctly - but believe this is more of an internal training issue.

    Our salespeople are sending more emails, more literature, and using our videos as selling tools. It also enhances our reputation as a technically savvy organization, and offers a unique sales tool to our independent agents. I love Crescendo.

    Pros

    It does exactly what it claims to, and does it beautifully. Our sales team carries iPads with Crescendo so that they can show our customers only what they're interested in, and email it to them at that moment. We use Google drive hosting, so our salespeople have access to videos, catalogs, excel sheets, presentation PDFs, virtually anything they'd need, and it's easy to manage and run version control. We've also integrated Crescendo with Salesforce so that when our salespeople send a PDF from Crescendo to a customer it automatically syncs or creates an account and contact in Salesforce. It's a beautiful front end that's easy for the least technical person to use. And the customer support is outstanding. The Crescendo team always responds the same day, and they did all the design work, which is critical because I don't have an html programmer or a graphic designer on staff. We've started rolling this out to our independent sales agents as well, and it continues to be a big hit. I love it and can't say enough good things about it.

    Cons

    Because we implemented in Google Drive, there's not an easy way to include PowerPoint presentations, and you obviously lose the animations, transitions, and embedded videos when they're uploaded as PDFs. However, the convenience and functionality of Drive made it the right implementation for us.
