The Most Advanced, Customizable Lead Management Solution for Business

STARS® is an integrated transaction tracking and management system.
One remarkable feature of the system is its ability to generate PDF
Invoices, PO's, and Estimates at the click of a button. |
5 STARS® Overview
5 STARS® is the patent-pending Lead Management system exclusive to CRM-gx.
It incorporates the latest thinking in transaction technology. And like
every other CRM-gx subsystem, speed and usability continue to dominate
design principles, as witnessed in the video below.
Accommodates Existing Business Processes
Most CRM solutions force organizations to change business processes to
accommodate the CRM system, or customize the solution to accommodate the
organization.
HydraNet believes the CRM system should accommodate the organization,
not the other way around. Like the other CRM-gx modules, 5 STARS® can
quickly be shaped and flexed to meet the needs of the organization. In
fact, 5 STARS® is the only web-based transaction system that gives organizations
the ability to define business and workflow processes without programming
or product re-engineering.
5 STARS® to the Rescue
The inherent flexibility of 5 STARS® saves time in the implementation
process. This flexibility may make the difference between success and
failure of your CRM implementation. One key reason CRM implementations
fail is that the CRM system forces the organization to make too many changes
to core business processes. When push comes to shove, it's usually the
CRM system that gets scrapped, not the core business processes. The flexibility
of 5 STARS® means the organization isn't forced to choose between a core
process and CRM. This fact significantly increases the likelihood of a
successful implementation.

5 STARS® data is used in all downstream reporting tools, including Financials,

they are directly accessible from the main CRM-gx window (as shown below):

an instant 6-month sales forecast directly from the main menu. |
5 STARS® stage-by-stage tracking integrates into directly accessible reports
driven by buttons on the main screen. Suddenly, every person in the value
chain has immediate access to the transaction information they need. The
reports shown below were generated with a single mouse click from the main
screen of CRM-gx:
