Highrise new contact manager from 37signals
Posted by Jacque on March 21st, 2007
I have written previous posts about software from 37signals. Now they have added an online contact manager called Highrise. With Highrise you can review a colleague’s notes before calling, see all the follow-ups scheduled for the week, set a reminder to write a client a thank-you, keep all important emails from a customer together on one page, and more.
TechCrunch writes that 37signals is focusing only on online contact management, serving as a good companion to Outlook. Contacts can be added manually or imported from Basecamp and vCards. Each of the contacts you add to Highrise gets a bio complete with photo and can be assigned task to-do lists and labeled with notes (including images and files). Basic business accounts start at $24/month for 6 users and 5,000 contacts, and work their way up to $149/month for unlimited users and 50,000 contacts.
Zoho has a similar customer relations management application that’s free with all features for 3 users and $12/month for each additional user. Zoho CRM works well for the sales pipeline, tracking leads from potentials to completed sales and forecasts.
