Revolutionizing MACA Marketing Corporatif: A Zoho Success Story

Caroline Fortin, a tech pioneer and visionary, has always embraced innovation. She recognized the potential of databases and cloud technology long before they became mainstream. As the driving force behind MACA Marketing, a promotional-object marketing company specializing in personalized branding, Caroline's journey exemplifies the transformative power of technology.

From an early age, Caroline took the reins of her family's business, charting a course for growth and evolution. Recognizing the need for adaptable tools, MACA Marketing transitioned from Microsoft to Google, benefitting from Google G Suite training and architecture support from Cloud Lion in 2017.

However, as MACA Marketing expanded its reach and complexity, its IT infrastructure faced challenges keeping up. The company's aging software, referred to as C2, became a labyrinth of code without documentation. Frustration mounted as components failed, affecting various departments and operations. Caroline turned to Cloud Lion once again, seeking a lifeline to salvage their digital ecosystem.

The Solution

Enter Zoho Creator, the "app that creates apps," and a cornerstone of Zoho's suite of business solutions. Cloud Lion, a certified Zoho Creator Partner, embarked on a mission to rebuild MACA Marketing's systems. The goal was to seamlessly transition from the outdated C2 to the robust Zoho Creator C5+CRM combination.

Amidst the chaos, Cloud Lion's team worked tirelessly, patching, repairing, and building anew. The transition was a success, achieved over a weekend with zero downtime and disruption. With a newly empowered system, MACA Marketing's team embraced efficiency and scalability, breaking free from the constraints of outdated technology.
