Our take

Salesforce has long been the leading light in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software; but the market is getting cluttered. The incumbent has invested, astutely, into capitalizing on its deep penetration by packing out additional features; but major rivals like Oracle Sales right down to a flurry of smaller startups like Optimove are looking to siphon off some of its market share. Poggio Labs is one of them.

The company is in its early stages still, and keeping details on its CRM software very much under wraps. It has, however, dropped one hint: the suggestion that its software will help “power intelligent relationships”. Intelligent software, software that employs AI and ML to automate areas like analysis and big data management, is widely touted to be the future of CRMs. It means salespeople can access more accurate insights, and chase more promising leads.

Whether this will serve as the core of Poggio Labs remains to be seen - and with Salesforce already working with intelligent systems, Poggio Labs will have a tough fight either way in wrestling away some of its market share.
