Kampyle Lets Companies Integrate Online User Feedback with Salesforce CRM to Create Leads and Cases Based on User Opinions and Viewpoints
Ramat-Gan, Israel, March 31, 2010 - Kampyle, a provider of Feedback Analytics to Web sites and companies, today announced that its solutions are now available on salesforce.com's AppExchange. Companies using the integrated solution can bring their customers' feedback directly into their Salesforce CRM deployments to create rich-information sales leads and support cases.
Using Kampyle, companies can deploy customizable feedback forms for their Web site within only five minutes and engage online customers in a personal and authentic manner. Since Kampyle is a native Force.com application, customers can quickly turn their users' feedback into actionable leads in the Sales Cloud 2 and into support cases in the Service Cloud 2. With the streamlined process, customers can reduce sales cycles, improve response times and enhance their offerings.
Using a smart rules engine, Kampyle identifies customer feedback in two areas for Salesforce CRM leads and cases. This feedback provides more information on Web site visitors, such as their opinions on services and products and their location on the site. In addition to learning what customers want, the integration with Salesforce CRM provides enhanced user-specific data, such as the visitor's location, browser and operating system data, so companies can tailor their responses to each and every online visitor or customer.
Kampyle's Feedback Analytics are the foundation of a customer-centric lead-generation engine, enabling companies to close more deals faster. When combined with Salesforce CRM, direct customer feedback from Kampyle provides businesses with an opportunity to connect with a prospect directly and establishes a starting point not available before - a chance to have a real conversation with a user, which leads to more sales and improved customer support.
Kampyle customer 2Tor develops technology platforms that enhance traditional offline curricula to create transformative instruction using the best educational and Web 2.0 technologies. 2Tor wanted to give its users - students and professors - an easy way to provide feedback not only regarding the functionality of its learning management system (LMS), but also on the value of particular coursework and instructors. 2Tor implemented Kampyle and integrated the feedback directly into its Salesforce CRM deployment to create a holistic view of its customer base.
James Kenigsberg, CIO of 2Tor, said, "In one month alone, 2Tor received more than 1,000 pieces of feedback and now averages more than 100 responses weekly. Integrating feedback into Salesforce CRM gives us a clearer view of the customer, so we can quickly evaluate and act on the feedback. Kampyle's reporting lets us easily and quickly evaluate all the comments we receive to make immediate changes and improvements to our platform."
