At Flexium Technologies, we strive to offer the best service to our customers and just like any business,  we  also try to convert leads to sales.

Lately, we found that most of our lead management and customer relationship management was done using excel sheets ( a typical ad-hoc approach that was quite slow and unproductive) , we decided to search for an effective customer relationship management system (CRM) that will cater for our needs as a small technology servicing business.

Our search yielded loads of CRM tools however, we quickly narrowed it down to a few that were well suited for our business. We looked at various options available such as Zimbra, Salesforce and TinyCRM however, sugarCRM seemed to be the cheapest and feature completion solution for our need.

Over the next few weeks, we will be using it in our day to day business and we will be sure to let you know what we think about it.

Denvycom, a partner company we have worked with on many projects in the past has  just released Gidi Games.

Gidigames (beta) is a suite of simple (board) games that we’ve always played – and we’ve always loved! Version 1.1 contains the following interesting titles – with the African touch !

Some of the games in the suite include:

Lexis – an original concept local language learning game aimed at helping players learn new languagues. Current functionality includes a play mode that enables players learn youruba, ibo, hausa (or any other) words by slashing at the correct English translation of the highlighted words.

Puzzlemania – Remember the number slider puzzle we all played as kids? Puzzlemania brings back the exact same experience! Battle against time and with the least number of moves – in two non-trivial levels!
Tic-Tac-Toe – A.ka. X’s and O’s, Noughts and Crosses, Wick Wack Woe, Pencil and Paper game … We have played the game using different pseudonyms and loved it thoroughly! Now, you get to play exciting rounds of Tic-Tac-Toe on your device and see how fast you can win (and with the least number of moves!). Get your game on!

More hot titles and levels coming soon! Stay tuned, have fun and check the game out on Google Play
