  • Sales & enquiry management
  • Automated outbound email communications for new enquiries

  • Provide training and guidance of Zoho functionality
  • Deluge scripting and workflow automation

  • Improved enquiry follow ups and increased business opportunity
  • Automated invoice generation, including credit card handling fees
  • Reduction in transactional errors
“Ardento and Sam has been EXTREMELY helpful in setting up Zoho for my business, a live band entertainment company in Texas, USA. I was fortunate to work with Sam Daynes (the owner of Ardento), who is very knowledgeable and actually cares about the people he's helping. He was quick, innovative, and always responsive anytime I had questions despite us being in different countries and time zones. Sam and his team even developed a unique invoicing system in Zoho books for my company. It was completely designed from the ground up, and has been an extraordinary time-saver and brought my business to another level of professionalism. I will 100% be using Sam and Ardento for further sessions. We're not done Sam! I highly recommend Ardento to streamline and automate any business. You will not be sorry using these Zoho gurus! ”
