Overview:
W3B is a software company that focuses on multitasking at once. It creates a software solution that provides multiple aspects to be addressed with low latency and hassle-free. Key features that it has incorporated are CRM, Project Management and online invoicing. Rather than Excel sheets or single service software, it manages all three activities in a single web-based software that also manages multiple things that a business needs. From planning a project to keeping the data and generating bills, W3B has brought a solution with less complexity and user-friendly software that makes customer handling easy and convenient. The company's only agenda is to make customer management smooth by syncing and combining different services in one place. W3B came up with single software for CRM and then Project Management but later seeking the demand, they merged the two software and seeking the later, they also merged online invoicing services. That's why it is known as W3B, the three indicates the three software services.
About the company:
W3B, formerly known as Web3Box software Softwares been in the market since 2002 and developing web solutions. Their journey began with customs websites and. The company has been practising on latest technologies since 2002 and has developed a closed team which is experienced and keeps experimenting and learning to achieve an advanced level of expertise in building websites. In 2007, W3B began experimenting with a new idea to develop such a thing that could resolve a business problem. This idea led to the successful creation of W3B CRM software and the demand for the invention started increasing graphically. W3B did not just stop right there but initiated a new venture of project planning. The two basic needs of a business customer relationship and project planning have been solved by the W3B. W3B must be known for their continuous brainstorming work. Instead of providing an individual solution, they merged the products CRM and Project planning solving two business needs at lower cost and low complexity easing customer management. The company had even started working on this in 2007 with their 5 years of market experience and tech expertise, the project got to live in 2015. Therefore, the result is not a day's work or a person's work. It took a lot of brains, ideas and years of hard work from many people.
The success that the company achieved was via failure. Initially, the end product was not the one they desired and continuous coding for three years required a lot of faith and patience. They created software in two parts, one for project management and one for invoicing. Initially, it was flunked when the real data was merged into the software. The company didn't have a lot of spirit but worked harder to achieve what it needed and dreamed of. They tested the software initially for their own company and it worked successfully.
The hard work leads to the yielding results. The company had expanded their clients from the US and Europe. What worked for them was that they had the market grasp due to customization as per the client's need instead of creating software and selling it as it is. However, in 2011, the project was still in the beta stage. They kept improving and personalising the software for two years to such a higher degree that was very much useful to the users.
In 2015, after the successful completion of the W3B solution, the company only supported the idea of all the solutions in one place and renamed it to W3B Management solutions.
