Nimble Launches Workflows to Empower Small Businesses to Stop Using Spreadsheets for Contact Management

Ready-to-Use Workflow Templates Help Teams Manage Processes Beyond Sales, including HR, Marketing, Support, Finance, and More

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nimble, the relationship-focused CRM for your entire team, announced today that they have launched Workflows to help companies manage repeatable people-related business processes. Workflows enable teams across all departments to ditch spreadsheets and manage processes in graphical boards and list views, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Manage People-Related Business Workflows As a Team

Repeatable processes are key to scaling a business, but managing external contact-related workflows across an entire company has historically been way too hard. Contact tools from Microsoft and Google aren’t designed for team contact management or workflows, and most CRMs are built for sales people to manage prospects so the rest of the company ends up using spreadsheets to manage people processes.

Nimble’s Workflows solve this by creating a place to track and manage everything that is needed to move contacts and companies through the processes necessary to grow a business. Workflows are designed to be used across all departments in a company including sales, marketing, customer service, accounting, business development, and more.

Nimble Workflows Help Teams Manage Contact Processes

“Most companies don’t use any CRM or a team contact manager and still manage customer interactions in spreadsheets and email,” said Jon Ferrara, CEO of Nimble“Nimble’s new Workflows enable teams to manage people-related business processes with a relationship-focused CRM that is designed to be the whole company’s contact manager.”

Ready-to-Use Workflow Templates for Any Business Use Case

Nimble created ready-to-use Workflow templates for any type of repeatable business interactions that teams perform, including customer support, order management, accounts receivable, hiring, PR, influencer marketing, fundraising, and more. Workflow templates are easily customizable to track the stages and fields that fit unique engagement processes.

As an example, stages can be defined for recruiting purposes to show how candidates are moving through the hiring process by allowing all stakeholders to quickly access all important information about applicants.

“What I love most about Nimble is that it’s built for the whole company, not just salespeople. I believe that the whole team should share and manage a common contact database that tracks the interactions and follow ups needed to grow a successful company,” says Jeff SheehanIntegrated Marketing Consultant and Speaker“By adding Workflows, Nimble now enables everybody across the company to manage the people-related processes that they need to truly scale a business.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
