Evaluate team, individual, company or time-specific performance to know whether there is an increase or decrease in KPI performance or target parameters.

Introducing Zone Analysis - a new Dashboard component

Zoho CRM has also introduced a new dashboard component called "Zone Analysis" to provide more detailed analytical insights of business data. Zone analysis distributes data into different zones which are created by taking the parameters in the X and Y axes into consideration. It makes understanding of data easier and make informed decisions.

Use Zone Analysis to understand the business data that requires more attention and those that are doing well with the help of comparative analysis between two parameters.

Zoho CRM offers many analytic tools that help users decode business data into simpler graphical forms that are easy to understand and can be shared with peers across the organisation. One of these tools is Zones, where data points are plotted on a graphical area to represent the most optimal to least optimal conditions in the form of zones.

In Zone Analysis, the darkest zone represents the best or the most optimal data point and the lightest zone indicates the least optimal data point.

Transform your CRM user experience using Canvas

New metrics and charts in Webform Analytics

Web forms simplify the process of capturing visitors or users information from your website into your CRM system. They are designed to automate the importing of data from websites into Zoho CRM. Non-technical users find it easy to design and publish their own web forms.

Web forms are supported for Leads, Contacts, Cases and any other Custom CRM Modules that you have in your account.
