One of Zoho CRM's major features is that it is designed to cater for every business large and small across various industries no matter where you are in your business journey. Canvas is a unique feature within Zoho CRM that allows you to personalise your user interface so that you can navigate it with ease and access the features that are the most relevant to you.

You can redesign the layout for the backgrounds, buttons, lists and fields that are within your Zoho CRM user interface according to your own personal tastes and requirements. Working with a user friendly interface drives usage and creates a happier work environment for your team.
