Product overview
BatchBook is an online contact organizer or customer relationship management software for small business. It was launched in Fall, 2007 by the software company BatchBlue. Features of the software include:
- Contact management: BatchBook allows you to keep track of your business, personal, and social networking contacts and share them with the rest of your team.
- Social media monitoring: In addition to traditional contact information, you can enter information like Twitter usernames, blog feeds and LinkedIn profile URLs on a contact record. When you view the contact record, you will not only have links to social networking profiles, but the last three tweets, last three blog posts, and a LinkedIn summary will appear alongside the person’s contact information and communication history, giving you a more holistic view of their social networking activity.
- Communications tracking: Logs emails, phone call notes, or any other communications with your contacts. Follow the communications stream of your entire team by subscribing to the feed.
- Email forwarding: You can send emails directly to BatchBook and it will automatically store the email as a Communication, attach it to the relevant contacts (and create a new contact, if needed), and retain any attachments.
- Web forms: Customize a web form to capture the information you need from your website and it will added directly into your BatchBook account.
