The CRM Module is used to create and maintain the Customer and Contact records for the entities or resources you do business with.  It is also used to gather and organize various types of marketing and other information about your contacts and customers as you continue to do business with them.  In addition, the CRM system allows you to view current status and historical information about entities and their transactions.  The purpose of this application is to enable you to view all relevant information about your customers and contacts from one place, and to allow you to process transactions for them with a minimum of time and effort.
