Copper isn’t just another CRM. Most CRMs are glorified databases with legions of custom fields that attempt to make business processes repetitive. But just as no two people are identical, neither are most sales processes. Copper takes a human and action-centered approach by building tools that work in the background so businesses can focus on keeping up their long-term connections.
Copper surprises people: Clients tell us they actually love their CRM, but this notion was previously a feat of impossibility. We’re turning CRM on its head by offering a beautifully crafted, Google Workspace-native tool that offers productivity, organization and visibility.
It’s an exciting time to be part of Copper. We’re expanding into new product areas with a goal to deliver a suite of customer-growth solutions.
