As an all-in-one solution, OfficeClip stands as a strong and compelling alternative to BigContacts, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses seeking a more integrated and comprehensive platform.

OfficeClip CRM has suited our business very well. Integration with emails and web forms enables us to improve the speed of responses to questions of potential customers. The implementation was well planned by the OfficeClip team, the training delivered was professional and when completed we were confident of using the system. For support the OfficeClip team was very helpful and always made sure that the issues were dealt with quickly.
