Insight Data has announced a major new development for Salestracker, the worlds first web-based prospect software for the home improvement industry with over 60,000 records.

The Document Vault is an App that allows users to attach documents, such as visit reports, meeting notes, quotations or price lists to a prospect on customer on Salestracker.  

 “The Document Vault is a major development for Salestracker and our customers. Rather than simply updating a basic notes field, users can attach in-depth information securely, keeping all documents relating to a prospect or customer together in one place” explains Insight’s Software Development Manager Matthew Stone.

 The Document Vault isn’t just limited to attaching files to a single record though. Users can attach a document to an entire campaign, so that they can look back and view the sales letter, mailer or other document that was sent with the campaign.

 Users can also simply upload documents and files for general use, such as brochures or price lists, and download them as required.

 Matthew Stone continues; “Some prospect data providers have outsourced their software development to third party companies. Not only could this be putting clients at risk from breaching the Data Protection Act, it also means a lack of innovation and development.  With Insight Data we have our own in-house software developers and are continuously investing in Salestracker.  This gives our customers a competitive edge.”

 Salestracker contains detailed information on specialist companies in the building and home improvement industry and is updated live in real-time by Insight Data’s own research team.

Insight Data, the leading supplier of prospect data in the home improvement industry, has launched an iPad version of it’s Salestracker CRM software. The development means sales people can use Salestracker on-the-move with the iPad’s 3G option.

 Helen Costeloe-Hughes, commercial director of Insight Data commented; “Now sales people can easily identify other new prospects in a given postcode as they arrive for a meeting, without the need to boot-up their laptop computers, set up their 3G dongles or worry about the battery running out.”

 The iPad has a typical 10 hour battery life and remains in sleep mode, so users simply need one touch to re-activate it and access Salestracker on-the-go. “The iPad is ideal for taking notes or minutes of a meeting, and the information can instantly be dropped into the notes field on Salestracker, while other CRM functions can easily be updated there-and-then” adds Helen.

 The iPad can also be used for presentations, to view websites or to access email and is a perfect tool for busy sales people. “Salestracker is the worlds first online prospect database for the home improvement industry and an innovation breakthrough for sales and marketing professionals. Teaming up with the iPad is an ideal marriage.”

The launch of the iPad version comes at a time when the market for Tablet computers is set to explode to 80 million units by 2015. Anthony Cox, senior analyst at Juniper Research commented “competition to Apple is likely to arrive in earnest in 2011, though by then Apple is likely to be ready to launch a new version of the iPad, reinforcing its market position” ( Full story http://bit.ly/aJHa7p)
