Common questions

Can I use both BNTouch and OptifiNow?

Often yes. Many operations run BNTouch as their primary CRM and add OptifiNow for the specific use case it specializes in. We have native or Zapier-based integration paths for most adjacent tools. During the demo we can walk through what your hybrid stack would look like.

How do I evaluate which fits my operation?

Three filters: (1) Can you talk to 3 existing customers in your size range without going through the vendor’s screen? (2) Will the vendor demo on YOUR past-client data in 30 minutes? (3) Is pricing published, or does it require a sales call? Whichever vendor clears all three is the safer bet.

What about migrating from OptifiNow to BNTouch?

CSV import is self-service. White Glove migration includes contacts, pipelines, custom fields, campaigns, and historical data. Most teams move in 7-14 days without losing institutional memory.

Can I run both during evaluation?

Yes. BNTouch offers month-to-month pricing with no annual lock, so you can run parallel for 30-60 days to compare on real data before cutting over.
