1CRM Corp. Releases Version 6.6 of Flagship info@hand Customer Relationship and Business Management System (CRBM)

ONTARIO, CANADA – (April 11, 2010)

1CRM Corp. has announced the release of the next generation of their flagship product, info@hand, a Customer Relationship and Business Management (CRBM) System for small and medium-sized businesses. The application is one of the first to blend first class Customer Relationship Management (CRM) features with extended business management capabilities for Accounting and ERP, e-Commerce, Project & Resource tracking, Customer Service, and Human Resources.

info@hand differs from conventional CRM products in that it offers key features that enable small and medium businesses to out-manoeuvre larger companies by capitalizing on their ability to react more quickly to client requests and changing markets. For example, it allows customer-facing personnel to create quotes or invoices quickly for clients, and then synchronize them later into the familiar QuickBooks accounting system for tracking by administrative staff – combining a quick response with a responsible audit trail.

Clients often gravitate to info@hand if these issues are important to them:

• They want a CRM that also includes high quality order management capabilities – product catalog, quotes, sales orders, invoices, received payment allocation, AR balances, POs, Bills, Outgoing payment allocation, AP balances, shipping/receiving, multi-warehouse inventory.
• They want a free self-service portal and eStore, such as info@hand offers.
• They need a comprehensive QuickBooks sync option.
• They prefer our low once-only license fee for On Premise deployment.
• They enjoy the speed and responsiveness of info@hand compared to other web-based CRMs.
• They need better calendar and group calendaring capabilities than most CRMs offer.

Some of the latest capabilities offered by release 6.6 of info@hand include:

• Expense Reports module: File general business or sales expenses, and link them to customer Accounts, Opportunities, Cases or Projects. Includes optional approval cycle for expenses. Supports foreign currency expenses, advances, optional approval cycle, and ability to split one receipt into multiple items (e.g. Hotel bill that includes meals and telephone). Scanned receipts may be uploaded and linked to line items. Reports available to track expenses by different categories, accounts, employees, …
• Monthly Services module: for tracking and invoicing of recurring monthly services, designed for businesses like Internet Service Providers, Rental Agencies, Software-as-a-Service providers, etc…
