Accessing Deleted Customers in OctopusPro
Customer data forms the foundation of a successful business operation. Sometimes, however, customers need to be removed from the active client list for various reasons. It could be due to non-activity, a request from the customer themselves, or in the process of updating and managing your customer database.
While it’s often necessary to keep your customer list up-to-date and clean, completely losing access to a customer’s information can pose challenges. There might be a need to refer back to the data, whether for historical analysis, audit purposes, or if the customer decides to re-engage with your business.
With OctopusPro, when you delete a customer, their information isn’t permanently erased but is moved to the ‘Deleted Customers’ section under the ‘Customers’ feature. This feature maintains a balance between keeping your active customer list tidy and still having the flexibility to access old customer data when required.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to access deleted customers in OctopusPro, and discuss the benefits and applications of this feature in your day-to-day operations.
