Onboarding and Post-onboarding

To give you a clear and objective understanding of the two options, the two most important time-based features of ExtraaEdge and Meritto are compared here.

Summary

The only thing that ExtraaEdge and Meritto have in common is that they both target the education sector specifically. However, the level of customisation, ease of use, and customer support system are the three most notable areas where they differ greatly. 

Keeping its end users in mind, ExtraaEdge has designed a single-window CRM, which makes it easy for users to quickly understand its features and reduce the time to onboard the system. In contrast, Meritto has built a multi-window CRM, which complicates its use and doubles the time to onboard the existing admissions team. 

At every level, the education industry needs customisation, and ExtraaEdge is dedicated to providing it. It customises the system according to your needs, tailoring the features when necessary, and helps you upgrade your admission automation. Meritto, on the other hand, has a self-serve CRM model with little room for customisation, making it a rigid system to understand and work on.
