Bigin for everyone
Our most comprehensive update yet gives small businesses and teams ultimate control to unify customer operations on one platform.
GET STARTED Watch Overview VideoNot just another update...
Our biggest move yet towards changing the way your customer-facing teams work!
Truth
Customer relationships are multi-dimensional. However, most CRM solutions that currently cater to small businesses are one dimensional—built to handle only one type of customer operation: sales.
Problem
Customer-focused operations such as onboarding, delivery, support, feedback collection, and other such tasks are disconnected and siloed. Since these operations can't be tracked in a CRM solution, businesses either have to invest in individual solutions or use spreadsheets to manage them all.
Solution
Small businesses and teams need a CRM solution that connects every type of customer operation but is still easy to use.
Say hello to Team Pipelines!
A new Biginning to teamwork
After spending a substantial amount of time learning how our customers use Bigin, we are pioneering the concept of "Team Pipelines" for the very first time in customer relationships.
With Team Pipelines, we're proud to offer your business a comprehensive CRM solution that can cater to all your customer operations—not just sales. Using a single account, you can manage your sales, marketing, onboarding, customer success, post-sales support, and every other operation in your business that requires customer interaction.
What's changed?
Pipelines for every operation,
optimized to make teamwork work!
"Pipelines" is now a new module in Bigin. Every customer-facing team in your business can have a pipeline of their own. Within a single Bigin account, you can have a sales pipeline to manage deals, a support pipeline to manage customer tickets, a marketing pipeline to manage your campaigns, and so on.
This way, your customer information remains intact within a single Bigin account, and can be accessed by all your team members, whenever necessary.
One main pipeline; multiple sub-pipelines
Within every Team Pipeline, you can have multiple sub-pipelines to manage specific operations. Your sales pipeline can be split into a sub-pipeline for individual customers, and another sub-pipeline for corporate customers, or your support pipeline can have multiple sub-pipelines based on the type of issue or request your customers are raising.

Single Source of truth
All you have to do now is click on a contract to enjoy access to all the customer information secured so far. Your Bigin account can serve all your customer-facing teams as the single source of truth for customer data.
Teams are many, but the customer journey is one.
Be in the loop with Connected Pipelines
How do you keep track of your customers' purchase journeys as they traverse from one stage to the next? By creating connected records through workflow automations.
When a record reaches a certain stage within one team pipeline, you can set a workflow condition for the automatic creation of a new, connected record in an adjacent pipeline—followed by additional workflow conditions as the record progresses to even later stages. This way, your team pipelines are linked, your team members are all in the loop, and their operations are in sync.

more capabilities coming your way!
Introducing Toppings
What does pizza, ice cream, and Bigin all have in common? Adding toppings makes all three of them even better.
Every business is unique with unique needs. Toppings are additional niche features you can add to your Bigin account to make it an even more suitable CRM solution for your business.
While we're working on an exciting range of toppings, here are a couple of examples that are already published and available to you!
Email-In
Do you own multiple email aliases for your teams? With every team constantly receiving a huge volume of emails, how do you stay organized? With Email-in, all your team emails automatically convert to records within the relevant team pipeline in your Bigin account.

With File Cabinet, a single link is all you need to secure documents from your customers and share documents with them. These documents can be permanently associated with the relevant contact and stored within your Bigin account.
Toppings can also extend to your
favorite apps. Here's an example!

Showcasing some of the love for our new updates!
Recently Bigin introduced Team Pipelines and since the launch of this new feature, we are able to excel in other business pipelines such as our active projects, marketing, and after-sales. This intuitive new feature made it possible for our team to have a 360-degree view and be able to use a single platform for all our business management and communication needs.
Dawid RouxCEO, V4 CreativeThe new team pipeline feature is very helpful for us. Earlier we were using Bigin only for sales pipeline and there was no way to manage our multiple process pipeline at once place. Now we have created our project pipeline too in Bigin. This has made the process easy to manage without hassle of managing different apps for business process pipeline.
Nidhi TyagiDirector, iBrand ConsultingWe have been using Bigin's new pipeline feature "Teams Pipeline" and it has completely transformed the way we manage our sales process. The ability to easily track and organise leads, set reminders, and move them through the multiple pipelines with just a few clicks has saved us much time and hassle. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for our team to stay on top of our various pipelines. I highly recommend using Bigin's Team Pipelines feature to anyone looking to streamline their processes.
Josh LuftigManager, Ainsworth PropertyThis feature lets me know how engaged my email list is. Love it this is a must-have tool as it lets my team and I know what messages to tweak and what we've done right!

Raghvendra KumarCOO, Tulsea Media Private LimitedWhat I like the most- permissions for specific pipeline, templates, sub pipelines are great.
Muaadh MuaadhOwner, You for information technologyBigin pipelines is definitely a great addition to our Bigin setup before. It is great that you can combine Sales, Customer Success, Tickets, and After-Sales in a single tool. It did help us a lot and we are actually working with the entire team in Bigin.
Christiaan Jaarsma Sales.Rocks BV,Christiaan JaarsmaVery good. Excellent customer service. Works as expected and if something goes wrong the lice chat feature really helps. Issues get fixed first attempt or at the very least on the same day.
Thomas WilsonOwner TW PrintingTeams pipeline is very much useful for our organization. We can have Teams pipelines which covers multiple operation related work. This is a complete solution required for an organization.
Gopi KannanBusiness Development Associate, Josh Tech Services Pvt LtdI used to be a Daylite customer, but last year I switched to Bigin. I’m very happy with it. Daylite supports strictly Apple environment so it is not suitable for us anymore. Bigin flexibility to use it on Windows and Apple platforms is deal maker. I love the pipeline feature. It put every deal just in front of me and with blink of eye I can see what needs to be done.
Daniel Jesensky CEO,Skyon
Brilliant feature, now Bigin not only has sales pipelines, but all kinds of pipelines catering to all industries. Plus, now one organization can handle multiple teams with multiple goals, from one CRM system.

Christopher NelBusiness development representative, KTOBSo far this new upgrade has been extremely beneficial as it opens up new segments to our process that can be looked at more granular. As we are moving into 2023 we are going to be utilizing us to help us as well with more strategic management of processes that we have moving concurrently. So it should help us be more efficient and effective in managing the business.
Will HallSuper Admin, Heartland (VA2)
I wanted to find a simple but efficient solution for the workflows. Starting a business without the right tools could be a nightmare, fortunately Bigin allowed me to start without worrying too much about all the setup of other CRM commercial solutions. Furthermore, the simplified experience of a CRM focused on small business is everything you need to start.
Luis GuzmanCEO, falcani LLCThe addition of Team Pipelines allowed me to stop using the Standard Pipeline as a process tool and have it dedicated to sales. I've set up to process pipelines and was up and running in minutes. Very helpful to my staff and my oversite!!
Jerry Cady Owner,Stellar CellarsWow! I'm happy to see how Zoho moves forward toward simplifying working lanes! I see how every day most organizations spend time and effort fighting complexity while should be focusing on creating value. Following and living the same mindset for Sales/MKT/CRM/People is the way to go! we can quickly jump from one area to another with no effort.
Juan BarrireroCEO, Pearster Global LLCSeamlessly allows potential leads to request info and create opportunities without CRM data entry on my part.
Matthew MonterrosoSVP, Commercial Asset Advisors - Matt MonterrosoWe are very small company and engaged in solution for Home Automation & Security Products. Initially, Bigin was purchased for Sales. Eventually, we started to use it for repairing process. Now due to separate pipeline and fields, we use it more effectively. Team Pipeline helps us a lot for smooth process of repairing activity. Now, we are also going to start implementation for customer On-boarding (Onsite Call) using Ticket creation and related process.
