CRM magazine has announced the winners of its 23rd annual CRM Industry Awards in its September 2024 issue and during the Sept. 3 broadcast of "CRM Playaz," a weekly livestream podcast hosted by CRM industry analysts Paul Greenberg and Brent Leary.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2024 CRM magazine has announced the winners of its 23rd annual CRM Industry Awards in its September 2024 issue and during the Sept. 3 broadcast of "CRM Playaz," a weekly livestream podcast hosted by CRM industry analysts Paul Greenberg and Brent Leary.

The CRM Industry Awards honor the leading providers of customer service, marketing, and sales technologies and services across 11 categories. Additionally, CRM magazine named five exceptionally innovative companies as Conversation Starters.

"This year, as we name the industry leaders in 11 CRM software categories, it's important to note that none of these types of software can work effectively without data that is current, relevant, or accurate," said Leonard Klie, editor of CRM magazine.

CRM Industry Leader Awards

The editors of CRM determined the recipients of the CRM Industry Awards with input from industry analysts and consultants. CRM magazine asked its extensive panel of analysts/consultants two basic questions: If a client asked for your top five recommendations in a particular category, which vendors would you suggest and why? Based on those answers, recipients of the 2024 CRM Industry Awards are listed below in their respective categories:

CRM magazine's goal with the CRM Industry Awards is to provide companies with a short list of companies they should consider for an initial purchase or technology upgrade in any of the 11 product categories covered. They'll still need to do their due diligence before selecting the vendor and solution that is right for them, but we hope to at least give a few suggestions to get them started.

The CRM Conversation Starters

CRM magazine also named five companies as Conversation Starters for 2024. They were Bloomreach, Cognigy, DoubleVerify, Klaviyo, and SoundHound AI.

"This year, as we name the industry leaders in 11 CRM software categories, it's important to note that none of these types of software can work effectively without data that is current, relevant, or accurate," said Leonard Klie, editor of CRM magazine. "Effective CRM requires companies to start with clean data, invest in the right tools to collect, store, and make sense of it, regularly review and update it, and train employees in how to use it.

"Luckily, CRM is still a vibrant industry that is expected to grow substantially over the next few years," Klie continued. "The CRM software market is highly competitive. That's why we started our awards program in September 2002, and why we continue to highlight the top vendors to this day."
