Customer Flow: Visual Pipeline & Workflow Management
Customer Flow is a dynamic workflow management tool designed to organize and track customers through specialized pipelines or "flows". It allows organizations to define specific rules for which customers belong in a pipeline based on their folder, tags, or status, and then visualize their progress across a customizable Kanban-style board. By moving customer cards between designated stages (columns), teams can maintain an operational view of their workload, manage daily assignments, and ensure every customer follows a consistent journey from initial contact to completion.
