Flower & Fendler Custom Homebuilders, is a company that aims to provide the best homebuilding experience in the St. Louis County area. Flower & Fendler has been building new homes in St. Louis since 2008. Sean Flower and Don Fendler have over 30 years of experience in the St. Louis new home industry. The company has several employees and branches, including St. Louis County, Ballwin, Eureka, Fenton, Pacific, Columbia, and Illinois.
Flower & Fendler had the contact information of their employees, customers, and trade partners scattered in their separate individual address books. Different employees in the company had different pieces of information about customers.
Moreover, not all employees had access to the same customer contacts. As their organization grows, it became harder and harder to keep track of all contacts. Each department was maintaining its own address book manually in spreadsheets. Unfortunately, those spreadsheets were not always accessible. The challenge was to break these cycles.
Furthermore, they wanted to give all employees access to the contacts of other departments. This will smoothen the collaboration between teams. Using a CRM for each employee was out of the question, as the company didn't have the time to engage in a costly training program. Furthermore, most of their employees are blue-collar workers who are not that good at using a computer.
The Solution After the introduction to the app, Sean implemented Shared Contacts for Gmail in the company in a couple of hours. He immediately created empty shared contacts lists and invited his department heads to add their contacts to these lists. They also no longer need to bother with the complexities of acquiring a CRM. They were able to share contacts in a simple but effective way.
Helpful Features 
If some of the contacts that you shared are already in your collaborator's address books, it will automatically merge the 2 contacts in one single contact, to avoid duplicates.
