Background of the Study:
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems are essential for managing interactions and improving service quality in the modern business environment. In Port Harcourt, service providers are increasingly relying on CRM systems to streamline operations, personalize customer interactions, and address service issues proactively (Ibrahim, 2023). CRM systems enable companies to collect and analyze customer data, leading to more efficient problem resolution and tailored service offerings. Improved responsiveness and customized communication enhance overall customer satisfaction, which is critical for retaining customers in a competitive market. This study evaluates the impact of CRM systems on customer satisfaction within a service provider in Port Harcourt, focusing on the effectiveness of CRM tools in managing customer queries, enhancing service delivery, and fostering long-term customer loyalty. The research also investigates how digital integration within CRM systems influences overall service quality and customer experience (Adebola, 2024).
Statement of the Problem

Service providers often face challenges in quantifying the benefits of CRM initiatives and linking them to improved customer experiences. Without clear measurement tools, it is difficult to ascertain the ROI of CRM systems, leading to uncertainty in further investments. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of CRM systems in enhancing customer satisfaction (Chinwe, 2023).
