Blackfinch - Galapagos CRM

Overview

Blackfinch’s Galapagos CRM system is a cloud based customer relationship manager tool, optimised for desktop and mobile devices with an option to transfer the solution into a future SaaS product.

Galapagos is not just a simple CRM, but a very bespoke system with tons of additional advisor friendly solutions and modules, such as Geographic Distance Search, Participation Manager, a mobile optimised financial illustration generator and integrated email and document management features.
