Striano, a software product development firm, identified a critical challenge facing small businesses today: the overwhelming complexity and cost of managing customer relationships across multiple disconnected platforms. Research shows that small businesses spend an average of 4-6 hours per week switching between different tools and lose up to $12,000 annually on redundant software subscriptions.
In response, we are launching Customers101, an all-in-one CRM platform that helps entrepreneurs and small businesses increase ROI through an easy-to-use online platform to seamlessly manage leads, website health, email funnels, booking/calendars, and other services in one place.
Striano aims to help small businesses increase efficiency and ROI by transforming operations with technological innovation and process automation. Led by founder and CEO Flavio D. Strianese, our software development team collaborates with business owners to understand their in-house workflow and custom-design software system solutions that increase profitability through operational efficiency and optimized processing.
