SugarCRM Launches Renewals Console, a Game-Changer for Subscription-Based Businesses

Company Continues to Lead the Industry with Groundbreaking Innovations in Winter ‘20 Release

SugarCRM Inc., the company that enables organizations to create customers for life, announced its Winter ‘20 release, showcasing a new renewals console, along with additional features designed to improve the lead funnel, increase renewal rates for recurring revenue models, and optimize first-response resolution rates inside customer support centers.

“The Renewals Console can have an immediate impact on the bottom line, automating renewals management and incorporating subscription customers into ongoing marketing efforts,” said Craig Charlton, CEO of SugarCRM.

The Renewals Console, a feature within Sugar Sell, is a significant differentiator for Sugar. Where other CRMs require extensive customization or third-party integration for duration-based renewable services, Sugar is providing this feature as core functionality.

“The Renewals Console can have an immediate impact on the bottom line, automating renewals management and incorporating subscription customers into ongoing marketing efforts,” said Craig Charlton, CEO of SugarCRM. “This is perfectly aligned with our no-touch information philosophy and Sugar’s commitment not only to understanding but also to where the CX industry is heading, but anticipating the needs of our customers as a result.”

Sugar Serve provides valuable time-aware case tracking allowing customer service leaders to optimize team productivity by uncovering which types of cases require the most attention.
