Less Data Entry CRM
Picky Assist strongly believes that businesses should let their employees focus on their main work instead of spending time on data entry tasks. That’s why Picky Assist uses chatbots, connectors, and a Google Chrome extension to handle the data entry, allowing your employees to concentrate more on their core roles.

Conversational ChatBot Magic
Our unique conversational Chatbot CRM approach ensures that the bot takes care of the heavy lifting for you. It can qualify customers by asking a series of questions, segmenting them based on scores, assigning leads as per your defined criteria, scheduling meetings, sending reminders, and even cross-sell and upselling. All this can be accomplished without any direct intervention from an employee.

Powerful Workflows
Our workflow features empower you to create significant automation. For instance, when a status changes from one value to another, a series of actions can be initiated. These might include sending an email, a WhatsApp message, or even triggering a sequence of tasks in Zapier or other automation platforms.

The First Enterprise Grade Budget Friendly CRM
Unlike most CRM solutions in the market that restrict automation capabilities to their Enterprise or higher plans, we are on a mission to help businesses automate as much as possible. Consequently, we don’t limit any features across our plans. You only pay more as your business grows.

100% Customisable Modular Architecture
Don’t let your business settle for the standard solutions that software companies build and ship. With Picky Assist, you have the power to customize CRM fields and modules according to your business needs. Define interrelationships between modules, and create filters and data views of your choice.

Visualise the Data the Way You Needed
Picky Assist’s Kanban view is among the most advanced in the CRM industry. It provides complete control over data visibility in each board, meaning you have the capability to design a layout for each board status. This enables you to obtain the most relevant information you need at different stages.

Built for 2 Way Communication
We know that communication is key in any business, and our CRM is engineered with this perspective. You will find an abundance of opportunities to automate your manual and repetitive tasks through our communication-first approach. Our system allows you to send and receive WhatsApp messages and emails from any module records, facilitating quicker actions.

2. No-Code Visual Flow Builder for building advanced chatbots

Chatbots are not new to modern businesses, but many find them difficult to adopt or implement due to their complexity, steep learning curve, and high costs. Here, Picky Assist’s Flow Builder turns the impossible into the possible. Picky Assist introduces a completely new set of features to make it more user-friendly and revolutionary for businesses of all sizes worldwide. See how we stand apart. Setup Guide

The Human Touch
Chatbots are great but may not work in every situation. There will be many situations where human assistance is required. We understand this situation intelligently and hand over the chat to a human agent, along with the entire context of the conversation, so that your agents can assist customers quickly. Even your team can invite more team members for easy collaboration using our Teambox product.

Guided Error Validations
When it comes to building complex, lengthy chatbots, there are chances of error or you may miss connecting the steps. Our guided error validations help you fix the errors in no time, ensuring you build high-quality chatbots.

Build Chatbots 30% Faster
We have conducted research on 100+ chatbot providers in the market before building ours and we have heavily invested to make the complex part more user-friendly, so we are confident that you can build chatbots 30% faster than any other similar products in the market.

Prevent User Drop-off with Timely Reminders
There’s a chance that users forget to respond to your chatbot if they receive a call or get busy. Our reminder feature automatically sends a reminder if no input is received after a certain time configured by you so that the user can get back to the conversation.

Powerful Step Wise Analytics
