Financial institutions across South East Asia and India that trust SugarAI
Why your CRM isn't keeping up with your customers
Your customers expect a seamless experience. Your systems weren't built to deliver one.
Financial services institutions across South East Asia and India are managing more customers across more products, channels, and regulations than ever. The problem is rarely the people — it's the disconnected data they're working from.
Your relationship managers are working from an incomplete picture
Customer data lives in core banking, loan origination, policy systems, and a CRM that doesn't connect them. RMs log into multiple systems to answer a single customer question — and still miss the full story.
Compliance is a manual process when it should be an automated one
KYC, AML, and audit trail requirements managed across disconnected tools slow teams down and leave gaps in the record. In a region where regulations are tightening, manual compliance is a risk your institution can't afford.
Your CRM isn't the problem. The way it connects — or doesn't — is.
When the CRM isn't connected to the systems your teams actually work in, adoption drops and data quality deteriorates. Your forecasts, your service records, and your compliance reports are only as good as what gets logged.

HOW SUGARAI COMPARES
Chosen by financial services teams for its simplicity, flexibility, and total cost of ownership
Salesforce Financial Services Cloud starts at $325 per user per month. Agentforce adds $750 per user per month. SugarAI offers transparent pricing, flexible deployment, and a lower total cost of ownership — with the same enterprise-grade compliance and integration depth.

15+ systems. One customer view.
SugarAI integrates with more than 15 of ESAF Bank's internal systems — core banking, loan origination, digital onboarding, contact centre, and marketing — giving every team a real-time, unified view of every customer relationship.
Compliant by design, not by workaround
As part of ESAF's regulated processes, SugarAI supports the creation of Customer Information Files (CIFs) directly within the platform — giving each customer a unique ID that links all their accounts and ensuring data integrity across the bank.

How does SugarAI handle complex manufacturing sales cycles?
SugarAI gives full visibility into every account and stakeholder, keeping long, multi-stage deals on track even when timelines change. AI-suggested next steps mean no deal falls through the cracks during a 6-month cycle.
Which ERP integrations are available?
Native connectors for SAP B1, SAP S/4HANA, Epicor, Infor, NetSuite, Sage, and Microsoft Business Central — plus 180+ others via our marketplace. Our integration team handles the mapping; no dev resource required on your side.
How does SugarAI use ERP data to support sales?
SugarAI connects ERP data with CRM activity, giving reps one view of pricing, products, orders, and inventory to act faster and spot new opportunities — including reorder signals and upsell triggers they would otherwise miss.
We already have Salesforce. Why switch?
Most manufacturers who switch from Salesforce cite two reasons: rep adoption failure and the cost of Agentforce Manufacturing (Enterprise Edition starts at $275/user/month). SugarAI is built for operational industries — the ERP integration is native, the interface is simpler, and reps actually use it because it shows them their accounts.
How long does implementation take?
Average is 3 weeks. For a 50-seat deployment connecting to SAP Business One, we've done it in 11 days.
