What Is CRM and How It Can Double Your E-Commerce Profits?

Discover what CRM means, how it improves sales and customer loyalty, and how Garean Shop doubled retention using a built-in CRM solution.

Introduction

Success in e-commerce today isn't just about running ads — it's about understanding your customers. That's where CRM (Customer Relationship Management) comes in. It connects all your customer data — orders, interactions, and insights — into one powerful platform that turns relationships into growth.

What Is CRM?

A CRM system centralizes customer data so you can track every order, message, and interaction. Example: Garean Shop, a Moroccan COD-based store, used spreadsheets and WhatsApp before adopting CRM — after integration, all data became unified and organized.
