CRM Telephony & Web Chatbot Integration – Project Scope (3CX + Zoho CRM)

This project scope document defines the integration of a 3CX telephony system with Zoho CRM, combined with the deployment of a website chatbot connected to CRM processes.

The objective is to centralize customer interactions, improve sales responsiveness, and ensure full traceability of calls, chats, and commercial opportunities.
