Visual Charts and Sales Reports for CRM & Marketing Apps Updated to 2.0 – August 8th, 2012

The latest update to Apptivo covered three primary features: new marketing apps, improved user dashboard when logging in, and adding enhanced reporting to our CRM applications.

The most compelling of these changes are the brand new visual charts within CRM, which give great insight into your sales pipeline, employee performance, and customer/contact behavior…all at a glance. Immediately upon accessing one of the CRM apps, you’ll be presented with this chart in the upper left corner, which you can then change between available charts we offer. Each app currently includes a couple charts by default, and we’ll be adding more soon.

In addition to the visual chart reports, we’ve also added enhanced sales reporting to the CRM apps as well. This includes the ability for you to generate reports that provide a breakdown of things such as what percentage of opportunities are converted, or what the total sales of a specific employee were for a month. These reports go beyond just providing a special list of objects in Apptivo, but rather focus on providing intelligence around the data stored in your sales applications.

In addition to the CRM improvements we made, we have also done an overhaul on our apps which are used to assist with email marketing. This included both Targets & Campaigns, which were both moved to 2.0. Other than a fresh interface and improved performance, the other primary benefit is the ability to build a target list of an assortment of different objects. You can generate a target object for a list, or you can simply link an existing contact, customer, or sales lead from your CRM. These target lists now have a built-in feature which allows you to export to a CSV file, then import directly into your favorite email marketing provider. We currently offer export capabilities directly into the proper format that can be uploaded directly into Constant Contact, Mailchimp, or Send Grid.

Next week you can expect a ton of new invoice updates, along with a great new G Suite sync for email signatures, as well as Google integration with documents as well. We’ll also be working to further improve the performance of Apptivo as well.
