  • Manage your customer contacts:. Imagine having access to your customers' information that is simple and complete. Simply upload your contacts, add new contacts, label contacts add notes that apply to each contact, and then keep track of sales calls, quotes, transactions, jobs, invoices, etc. All of this information is available in seconds, so you are always in the know and up to date with what is going on with any customer or potential customer.
