At PFC Group, we’ve always believed in helping small businesses grow smarter with simple yet powerful tools. Bigin, Zoho’s compact CRM, has been a game-changer for companies looking for an affordable yet highly effective way to manage their customer relationships.

The first half of 2025 has been nothing short of exciting for Bigin. From new in-built features to significant enhancements in mobile functionality, the platform is evolving to meet the needs of modern businesses. And we’ve got some thrilling updates to share with you—including an exclusive glimpse of an upcoming AI-powered innovation that’s set to redefine how businesses use Bigin.

A Seamless Link Between Sales and Accounting

Managing finances can be a challenge when your sales and accounting teams aren’t in sync. With Bigin’s new integration with QuickBooks Online, businesses can now bridge this gap effortlessly.

This integration allows you to create and track invoices, manage estimates, and improve inventory processes—all within your CRM. Your teams no longer need to juggle multiple systems to keep track of financial data. Everything stays connected and accurate, leading to faster approvals and better decision-making.

Smarter Social Media Lead Capture

Social media ads are a vital lead-generation channel for growing businesses. With Bigin’s LeadChain integration, capturing leads from Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok was already simple.

Now, Bigin takes it a step further. You can also gather leads directly from Google Ads and Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns. This means no potential lead falls through the cracks, no matter where your audience is engaging with your brand.

Email-In Gets More Control

Bigin’s Email-In feature has always been a favorite, as it automatically converts incoming team emails into CRM records. But what about avoiding irrelevant or duplicate data?

With the latest enhancement, you can now review and approve every record created through Email-In before it enters your pipelines. This ensures that only meaningful and accurate information is stored in your CRM, keeping your workflows clean and clutter-free.

Product Management Made Easier

Dealing with deals that involve multiple products? Bigin now offers better product handling with salesperson assignments per product. You can even use the new discount field to automatically calculate final prices based on discounts—whether by percentage or fixed value.

This improvement is perfect for businesses that manage complex pricing and require precise calculations on the go.

Advanced Workflow Automation

Automation in Bigin just got sharper! The Workflows module now lets you define field-specific triggers, assign records to available team members, schedule automatic tag updates, and easily select recipients for automated emails.

These enhancements save time and allow your team to focus on what truly matters—building relationships and closing deals.

Effortless Call Tracking on Android

Missed logging a call? Not anymore! Bigin’s Android app now prompts you to log incoming calls immediately, capturing every detail like call type, outcome, and key notes.

This feature ensures that no customer interaction is forgotten, keeping your CRM records complete and reliable.

Mobile Email Sorting on the Fly

Bigin’s mobile app makes managing emails linked to deals incredibly simple. A quick swipe action allows you to connect or disconnect emails with specific deals—helping you keep every conversation contextually relevant.

Looking Ahead: AI Joins the Bigin Ecosystem

As an official Zoho Partner, we’re excited to share that Zoho introduced Zia AI to Bigin – a powerful step forward in smart CRM management. With the arrival of Zia Agents, users will experience intelligent, secure, and fully autonomous AI assistants designed to simplify daily tasks, boost productivity, and bring automation right where it's needed.

Here’s what’s coming soon:

• CrossSell Genie – Analyzes purchase patterns and recommends complementary products or services to boost sales.

• Churn Analyzer – Offers actionable insights into why deals are lost and how to prevent future churn.

• Reply Assistant – Helps craft quick, precise responses to customer queries on WhatsApp or email.

The Journey Continues
