available for most Mainstream Mobile Devices
Mobile CRM+ is available for Windows Mobile Standard & Professional edition, Symbian Series 60 based Nokia devices and Blackberry Curve. More devices will be supported in near future. In all devices, the user interface is similar and it uses the native device navigation so there is no learning curve for the users.
takes full advantage of device hardware
Even though it is difficult to enter data using mobile devices; they have the necessary hardware to allow users to easily enter unstructured data which can be referenced as is or converted to structured data on a desktop system. Mobile CRM+ takes advantage the hardware to make it easy for the user to enter CRM information:
- Attaching multiple images to CRM Entities
- Camera can be used to attach images to leads, contacts, events, and tasks and stored as image annotations on the Salesforce.com CRM Server. Image annotations for events and tasks are stored in the respective contact or lead records. Mobile CRM+ allows user to attach multiple images to any CRM entity.
- Attaching multiple Voice notes / Dictations for CRM Entities
- Microphone can be used to attach voice note or dictations to leads, contacts, events, and tasks and stored as audio annotations on the CRM Server. Audio attachments for events and tasks are stored in the respective lead and contact records. Mobile CRM+ allows user to attach multiple audio files to any CRM entity.
fully integrates with Native Phone applications
Customers usually use conventional means to communicate. Getting these communications into the CRM Server from a mobile device is a difficult task. Mobile CRM+ provides one-click transfer/copy of the information received from customers to the CRM server.
- Incoming & Outgoing phone call recording
- Mobile CRM+ can automatically record all incoming and outgoing phone calls for Salesforce.com leads and contacts and upload them to the server as events related to the lead or contact.
- Promoting Emails & SMS to CRM Server
- Mobile CRM+ Integration with device email, SMS application that allows user to automatically copy information from these applications and upload them to the CRM server as events related to the CRM lead or contact.
incredible Meeting recording technique
When a meeting is conducted with CRM account, contact or lead, it may not be necessary to record the entire proceedings of the meeting. Mobile CRM+ uses a DVR style audio memory buffer during a meeting. When user realizes that a key point is already made that should have been noted, user selects “Capture” and Mobile CRM+ will save whatever is already said in the past to an audio file.
- “Timed Capture” saves the past conversation and continues recording current conversation for a minute before it stops automatically.
- “Manual capture” saves the past conversation and continues recording current conversation till user stops the recording.
- Full recording of the entire meeting is also available.
- All Audio files recorded during the meeting are attached as audio annotations to the meeting event and uploaded to the CRM Server.
works Online and Offline
Mobile CRM+ caches data on the mobile device so that user has access to CRM information even when there is no network connection or wireless data connection. User can refresh the data on demand when required. Since all critical information updates are already delivered to Mobile CRM+ through the monitoring threads, automatic periodic download of CRM information is not required. User provides the frequency of the upload thread for uploading the captured information to the server.
better user experience through multi-tasking
Mobile CRM+ communicates with the Salesforce.com CRM server in the background in separate threads for downloading and uploading information. This keeps the user interface always responsive. All monitoring of mobile device applications that Mobile CRM+ integrates with are done in the background. A status bar at the bottom of the user interface screens always shows the background activities.
data Security and Privacy
Since mobile devices can be easily lost or stolen, data security in Mobile CRM+ is our primary concern.
- Communication with Salesforce.com Server is over secured connection.
- All data that persists on the device for offline browsing are encrypted.
- Program always requires a login during startup and idle and any failed login results in complete erasing of persisted data and re-downloading upon a successful CRM server login.
