Applane CRM is among the top 3 in the CRM category on Google Apps Marketplace

December 29th, 2010

As the year 2010 comes to an end, Google has released a list of top applications among 250 installable apps. As a recap of the closing year and a preview of the best in the year ahead the Marketplace has put Applane CRM in its list of Top 3 in the CRM category. It has been ranked 3rd amongst the top installed apps in the CRM category on Google Apps Marketplace. We thank the numerous users for their continuous faith in our product offering.

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.

Applane CRM now on Google App Engine

December 17th, 2010

We have been silent for quite some time. But this silence was not a sign of stagnancy but of the coming of a new wave in the world of online CRM for small and mid size businesses. After weeks of sleepless nights and intense hard work the Applane Team has come up a new version of Applane CRM which will have its servers in the Google App Engine.

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.

A new version of Applane CRM is just around the corner

December 15th, 2010

From the time we released the first version of Applane CRM in the marketplace we have received exciting responses. Users have also shared intelligent feedback along with feature requirements. We have suitably incorporated the requirements and feedbacks which have been in our product road map and will be releasing them to users in a phased manner in our upcoming releases.

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.

June 8th, 2010

Customer relationship management is a broadly recognized, widely-implemented strategy for managing and nurturing a company ’s interactions with clients and sales prospects. This is how some of the very credential webpages define a CRM tool. But do all existing CRM’s really serve the required purpose? While exploring an answer to this significant research, we concluded that there are lot of such features which are in dire need by the industry but are missing in almost all the existing CRM tools. Applane finally decided to take an initiative in picking up those non addressed issues and created Applane CRM.

Applane CRM is designed to automatically fetch an organization’s google page rank. Whenever a new organization is entered into Applane CRM, it automatically ranks up the organization on the basis of its Google page rank and further the data is sorted on the basis of these ranks while running new campaigns. This practice ensures that organizations with more potential get more consideration from vendor company and in turn helps sales team to allocate their efforts in very prudential manner by targeting prospects on the basis of ranks. Isn’t that really fantastic to let your sales team devote more time in other constructive jobs and Applane CRM does your organization ranking work.
