Why a Modern CS Stack Needs a Gmail-Native CRM

As CS and AM teams scale, they rely on multiple tools: product analytics, CRM systems, and email. Yet, the more platforms added, the harder it becomes to stay coordinated. A Gmail-native CRM—designed as a Customer Success CRM in Gmail—connects the dots.

“Work gets smarter when tools integrate into your daily flow—not the other way around.” — Google Workspace Blog
