Timetonote

Timetonote.com is an online CRM (Customer Relationship Management) application for groups and organizations. It allows multiple users to track communications with clients and employees, providing for collaboration in near real-time. The application uses a shared contacts database, so when anyone adds a contact it is available to all other users. The account owner can designate users as administrators, which allows add and delete control of data and users, or designate them as regular users. Each user has a dashboard, where they can see a history with summaries of their recent activity as well as their upcoming assigned tasks. A user can assign a task to any other user, which can be changed by an administrator if necessary. Tasks are divided into categories, such as phone call or email. All communication between users and customers can be tracked. In addition, each user has a contacts tab, where they can view all the contacts in the database, and a tasks tab where they can see a complete overview of their assigned tasks. Users can add notes to tasks, so that other users can see, for example, what has already been discussed with a client before calling them. Users can also conduct a search of all notes for given keywords. Timetonote.com was founded by Lucian Baciu in August 2009.
