The rating given by Google is a proof of our product’s success on the marketplace since its launch in May, 2010. Now that we have launched a new version in the Google App Engine, we believe we have improvised on our product and made it more intuitive, faster and scalable.

We thank all our users for their patronage.

Applane CRM is now faster and more scalable and has successfully moved to the Google App Engine. Applane CRM is now integrated with Billing API from the Google Apps Marketplace. Now you no longer have to worry about cumbersome payment process. Just register your license requirement and like you book online tickets for a movie, you can now purchase Applane CRM licenses.

PS: Though we are doing the best from our end, since this is a transition phase from one server to another there may be certain inconveniences caused regarding data transfer and server downtime for a couple of days. I humbly request all users to please bear with us and support us by immediately contacting us as soon as they face any such problems. We assure you that they will be dealt with on top priority basis.

Last but not the least I thank you all for all the patience and support you have shown so far. We really appreciate your patronage.

We have put together a new version that we believe will be better not only in terms of the added features but also in terms of the new and improved Sales Life Cycle. Now you can go through the entire sales process of Applane CRM without having to go through different tabs. Reporting has also been made more intuitive and thus clubbed as a separate category in itself. Please find below the list of new features that we have incorporated in the New Applane CRM:

- New improved intuitive import data feature
- Sales cycle now also supports workflow for individual contacts
- Capture lead from websites
- Support for Google Billing API
- User Defined Columns

You will have access to most of the above mentioned features immediately after the launch. There are some features, however, that are in progress and might just take a few more days to access. They will be so because we have a tie up with Google Apps so things need to be worked out in that regard. I request all users to please give us a little consideration on this.

Please read below what Google had to say about the webinar:

Customer relationship management (CRM) is the most frequent search query in the Google Apps Marketplace, showing a trend of businesses moving their customer management to the cloud. The flexibility of cloud-based CRMs means there is no longer one traditional type of CRM, siloed in an on-premise server. Marketplace CRM apps can now help you manage your contacts across any channel, including emails, phone calls, projects, and even social networks, while working in sync with many other tools that you use.

Join us in a live webinar next Tuesday, Nov 9th, where I will host three Marketplace CRM vendors to discuss how your business can use cloud-based CRM apps:
Rodrigo Vaca, Director of Marketing at Zoho
Sachin Garg, Director of Strategy & Business Development at Applane
Bart Lorang, CEO of CloudCenter, the maker of Rainmaker
The Google Apps Marketplace offers a wide range of richly integrated CRM apps, take this unique opportunity to hear directly from the developers of these three apps.

During the webinar, in presence of close to 200 people, all three presenters highlighted the value proposition their CRM offers to its users with the help of some use cases and case studies. Towards the end, in the Q/A session user queries were addressed. Some of them were on data security, privacy policy, data migration etc.

Quoting from the review, “The Google Apps Marketplace currently offers a number of CRM applications, including social CRM and project-based CRM apps. One CRM application that is currently receiving positive reviews from Google Apps users is Daffodil Software’s Applane CRM.

Applane CRM lets business and enterprise users track a complete sales lifecycle; you can track contacts, sales, RFPs, determine which of your sales team members are keeping on-task, who is producing sales, analyze marketing trends, and even send bulk emails from within the application to customers and contacts.”

Now you can create an opportunity on the fly from your Google mail account. A contextual gadget will appear at the bottom of the mail with the option to “Create an Opportunity”. When user clicks on the button the panel will expand with fields required for creating the opportunity like ‘opportunity title’, ‘owner email id’, ‘organization name’, ‘website address’, ‘contact name’ etc. The fields which can make use of information from the current email will be populated with default values to save unnecessary effort.

On clicking the ‘save’ button, an Organization, Contact and Opportunity will automatically be created in Applane CRM. Additionally, the email will be attached to the communication thread. This functionality is useful for the sales team and will save a lot of time otherwise required to achieve the same result.

From within Applane CRM you also have the unique ability to know the number of appointments you have fixed on a particular day so that you can avoid overburdening your day with too many action items. For this you do not have to navigate at all, just glance at the ‘Total Actions’ in the ‘Record Actions’ page while specifying a follow up date. You will know how many actions you have already engaged yourself in for the date you have chosen.

Applane CRM makes managing your follow ups so easy.

We believe this integration will be of great value addition to all users of Applane CRM giving them a smooth start up experience. Now you are just a click away from importing all your contacts from your Google mail account. Not only can you now import the contacts, organizations will also be created based on your contacts’ email addresses. But that is not all !! The newly created organizations & contacts will be mapped to each other with just the click of a single button.

Do give it a try and let us know your feedback.
