NetLedger Delivers Advanced
CRM Features and Enhancements across Oracle® Small
Business Suite, NetCRM™ and NetSuite™
SAN DIEGO, CA, ORACLE APPSWORLD 2003, January 21,
2003 - NetLedger, Inc., makers of Oracle® Small
Business Suite, today announced the addition of advanced
CRM features across the company's award-winning products
including Oracle Small Business Suite, NetCRM and NetSuite,
making them much more powerful application services
for small and mid-size businesses to run their front
and back-office operations. Additionally, usability
and workflow enhancements provide users with unprecedented
ease of use. The Oracle Small Business Suite name is
used under license from Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:
ORCL). For more information about the new release, including

These new advanced CRM features extend NetLedger's
integrated application services to small and mid-sized
businesses needing sophisticated sales management, order
placement, customer service, marketing automation, Web
publishing and accounting features. Companies looking
for greater visibility and accuracy in their sales forecast
together with the ability to measure sales team performance
and the effectiveness of their sales process will greatly
benefit from the new functionality.
"Our CRM features match and surpass those available
from other vendors, at a much lower price," said Zach
Nelson, president of NetLedger. "And our painless integration
of CRM with back-office accounting, inventory and shipping
functions define NetLedger's products as the next-generation
of Web services."
The advanced CRM features increase business efficiency
and productivity while allowing for complete relationship
management, including:
- Flexible Opportunity Management Increases Sales
Pipeline Visibility
Opportunities help organize key information about
deals as they move through the sales pipeline in NetCRM
and NetSuite so sales teams can track when they expect
deals to close, who the key decision maker is and
the competitors involved. This new flexibility builds
on the unique forecasting, quote and sales order management
capabilities at the foundation of all NetLedger products
so businesses can actually take the order and track
customer purchase history, previously unprecedented
in other online solutions.
- Competitor Tracking Provides Vital Win/Loss Analysis
NetCRM and NetSuite now allow an organization to track
the competitors they typically see during the sales
process along with their strengths and weaknesses
as well as strategies on how to win the deal while
competing with them for the same customer. Companies
can associate these competitor profiles with each
opportunity along with who ultimately wins the customer
and the reason why the deal was won or lost to really
analyze how well the sales process is working and
where to make adjustments in order to stay ahead of
the competitive curve.
- Complete Quota Management Keeps Sales Teams on
Track
Quota management allows sales managers to set goals
for sales reps so they know exactly what numbers they
need to hit. Quota management in NetLedger products
have the flexibility to match an organization's business
rules - whether those rules call for quota assignment
based on the products and services offered, multiple
sales channels such as internal versus resellers,
or the type of sale such as new customers versus up-sell.
In addition, graphical snapshots and reports allow
for comparison of forecast against quota, quota against
actual sales and forecast against actual sales, eliminating
any surprises at the end of the sales period throughout
the organization.
- New "Forecast Master" Streamlines Sales Forecasting
An all new intuitive forecast tool called Forecast
Master allows sales reps and managers alike to view
their complete forecast for the month, quarter or
entire year in a single view no matter whether they
are using Oracle Small Business Suite, NetCRM or NetSuite.
Once sales reps have made their adjustments of what
opportunities, quotes and sales orders are included
in their forecast and count towards their quota, their
managers can review the numbers and make necessary
changes before accepting the final forecast. Making
quick adjustments was never easier, giving businesses
a vital edge in today's dynamic, fast-paced world.
- Template Driven E-mail To Contacts Personalizes
Communication
From within each customer record, users of NetLedger
products can now create and send e-mail messages on
the spot using or editing a template with a standard
message and then personalizing it with data about
the customer such as their name, address, or previous
products purchased using special tags. Once sent,
a copy of the message is saved for historical record
including any replies received so there is never any
guessing about who said what or when.
Pricing and Availability
Available immediately, these new features and enhancements
are free of charge for current subscribers based on
the service licensed. New subscribers can access NetLedger's
application services for as little as $50/user/month.
