Highlights of Zoho ContactManager include:

All Business Contacts in One Place – All users within the business can add and organize their business contacts in one central location.

Unified View of All Interactions – All interactions taking place with business contacts are captured in a single location. Detailed information like tasks, comments, notes and history associated with contacts (including all email conversations with contacts) are all captured in one place.

Follow Up and Get Things Done – Users can distribute tasks by assigning the tasks to team members, track to-do items and complete them based on priority. With task templates, best practices can be shared with the team members who can follow up on the right activities and get things done.

Share Instant Updates – When a team member has updates to share with the team, they can communicate with peers instantly with the Feeds module, where other users in the team can respond, collaborate, exchange ideas and make a collective decision.

ContactManager in Your Pocket – ContactManager is available as a native application for iPhone and Android that lets users do everything from adding business contacts to viewing contact information, efficiently managing tasks and keeping track of recent activity with Feeds, all on the go.

Commenting on the launch, Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist, Zoho said, “Small businesses need a simple solution to share contacts within their teams. Due to the lack of better tools or tools currently available being too broad for their needs, they end up using spreadsheets to share contacts between team members. Our commitment to small business users encouraged us to fill this gap with a simple, yet powerful contact manager that lets users centrally save and share contact information as well as capture all interactions with their contacts in a central place.”

Zoho’s Card Scanner app for iPhone integrates with Zoho ContactManager, allowing users to scan business cards to extract contact information through their mobile phones and save the extracted contact information in Zoho ContactManager.
