Manager Module
Complete Contact Record Information
Each contact record includes date/time
stamped contact notes; plus the contact name, title, company, address,
fax and phone numbers, e-mail address, last and next call date,
last and next action, industry and territory.
Enhanced Contact Management
Contact records allow you to quickly contact a customer or prospective
customer, enter and review the salient points of each contact with
a customer or prospect, track your communications with the customer
in the order in which they occurred and perform mass mailing and/or
e-mail distribution to customers and prospects.
48 User-Defined Fields
Up to 48 user-defined fields can be added to contact records. You
can define each field name, type (character, date, logic or numeric),
width and number of decimal places, and add the Lookup feature to
the field. This makes Contact Manager highly customizable.
Easy-to-use Contact Management Database
Search and retrieve contact records by company name, contact name,
zip code, telephone number, recall date, salesperson number or by
using any of a wide variety of other search filters.
Seamless Integration with Word
The Contact Manager database is completely integrated with Microsoft
Word for easy mail merge and correspondence.
Compete Order Entry System
When integrated with the Sales Order module, you can create a sales
quote or an order directly from the contact screen and fax it "on
the fly." In addition, you can drill down from the contact screen
into sub-levels of detail to gain instant access to actual sales
orders, or you can use the tab key to quickly examine critical financial
information such as sales-to-date, openorder data, or balances due,
all without having to leave Contact Manager.
