We will still announce new updates via the Tactile CRM dashboard and newsletter when they are available, but we will now be providing more regular updates on our new updates page on the Tactile CRM website.

Whilst we were at it, we’ve also updated the roadmap to be more accurate about our current plans, and a new release page shows what the major releases we have been working on it.

All these pages will be kept regularly updated as part of our new plans to keep you in the loop of what has been going on.

We’ve really pleased to have just released our referral program after lots of feature requests by our users – we wanted you to be able to share in our success, so all do you need to do to start earning 20% of all paid for plans is login and visit the admin section.

You can sign up for the referral program and start earning straight away. Full details are on the Tactile CRM website, and you can track referrals in real time from your account:

We’re really pleased to announce that you can now email directly from within Tactile CRM – all you need to do is login and click on an email address:

You’ll be asked to verify your email address the first time, but after that it’s plain sailing.

Full details are in the help where it tells you how to add templates, site wide email addresses and more.

As always, let us know your comments, thoughts and feedback. The new email system was lead by customer suggestions so we’d love to hear any other ideas you may have.

We’ve updated Tactile CRM so you can now easily see an organisation’s contact details (phone, fax, address etc.) when viewing a person.

It’s often the case that you’ll be dealing with several people at the same organisation and they all share the same phone number and address. Instead of entering it multiple times you can now see them when viewing the person:

We’ve also extended this to opportunities and activities so important contact details are always on your screen.

We’re really pleased to announce an overhaul to our graphing system and a new reporting engine.

Tactile CRM now has a realtime reporting engine to enable you to report on information in the system without having to export and manage data yourself. The new release includes a 30/60/90 day pipeline graph (see below), and we want you to let us know what else you want to see.

We’ve also updated the reports tab to give you a list of reports and graphs from every page, and we’ve added some new graphs, and updated others:

We all know the problem, you go to networking events, you meet people on a day to day basis and the business cards you collect stack up.

Getting those details into Tactile CRM can be hugely valuable but the time to type them in can be costly too.

Not anymore though! All you need to do is pop them into the post, Shoeboxed will digitise them, and then you can import them directly into Tactile CRM.

We’ve even got a special offer for you: sign up for Shoeboxed and they’ll give you $10 off their annual plans!
