Let Vtiger CRM’s best new features from 2016 change how you work in 2017

It’s almost time to tuck away our memories of last year to commence the exciting journey across the roadmap of 2017. But before we do that, in one final ode to 2016 we’ve put together this list of the biggest features that made their way to our users over the last 365 days, and the resources we’ve created to help you get to know them better.

Sales

Sales Inbox

One place for you and your sales team to efficiently manage sales email. See new conversations front-and center. When replying back, see relevant contact and deal information alongside the email. If you need more information from a colleague, tag them in a private @mention on the email, or set a reminder to follow back up. And when you’re finally done, mark the email as “done” to move it out of your box view so you can get on with customer excellence.
