Consumer relationship system
Consumer relationship systems (CRS) are specialized customer relationship management (CRM) software applications that are used to handle a company's dealings with its customers.
Current CRS integrate the software with telephone and call recording systems as well as with corporate systems for input and reporting. Customers can provide input from the company's website directly into the CRS. These systems are popular because they can deliver the ‘voice of the consumer’ that contributes to product quality improvement and that ultimately increase corporate profits.
Consumer relationship systems that provide automated support as well as advanced systems may have artificial intelligence (AI) interfaces that can extract and analyze data collected, or handle basic questions and complaints.

Customer-centric relationship management (CCRM)
CCRM is a style of customer relationship management that focuses on customer preferences, instead of customer leverage. This is a nascent sub-discipline of traditional customer relationship management, to take advantage of changes in communications technology.
A CRM system becoming more “customer-centric” means being able to manage critical relationships more effectively and being positioned to offer new and expanded services.
Customer centric organizations help customers make better decisions and drive profitability. CCRM adds value by engaging customers in individual, interactive relationships.
Customer-centricity differs from client-centricity in that the latter refers almost exclusively to business-to-business models rather than customer-facing firms.

CRM Tools
Customer relationship management tools have existed for years. Businesses use them to manage customer interactions across channels and departments, including marketing, sales, customer service, and technical support.
One area where traditional CRM systems fall short is their inability to incorporate social network data about customers. This is important because consumers frequently ask product-related questions, and share with friends and followers their product purchase intent, as well as their personal experience using products.
This is where social CRM tools play a key role. They enable merchants to stay connected to customers using social channels, which can lead to increased sales and more satisfied customers.
This article introduces five popular social CRM systems for small business.
1. Batchbook
Batchbook integrates with social media management platform HootSuite.
Like most CRM systems, Batchbook lets businesses manage their contacts and address books, and track conversations, sales, leads, deals, and more.
Where it differs from traditional systems is through social media integration. Batchbook users can access LinkedIn profiles and read Twitter feeds from inside the platform. They can also connect with Facebook to get background information on contacts.
Batchbook integrates with HootSuite to enable the following capabilities.
Access Batchbook contact details, communications, to-dos, and notes from inside HootSuite;
See customer relationship histories by looking at Batchbook contact details in HootSuite;
Save social posts and contact details to Batchbook from HootSuite;
Take note of the most engaged social contacts and mark them as “Champions” in Batchbook.
