Sales Tracking Software in the Cloud from Salesforce.com

Sales tracking software started out years ago as a desktop productivity tool for busy sales reps. It then evolved into larger applications housed in companies’ on-premises IT servers, with user access through a local office network or LAN. Years later, more than a few sales tracking software applications remain stuck in this now old-fashioned mode. Meanwhile, the business world has advanced to the ease and affordability of salesforce.com’s sales tracking software solution in the cloud, also known as “software as a service.”

Today, cloud-based Salesforce CRM Sales is the most widely used application for sales lead tracking and management. With our subscription-based sales tracking software as a service, you gain unmatched capabilities without having to buy on-premises sales tracking software and hardware to run it on. Gone are the tedious implementation headaches and budget-busting maintenance costs of traditional sales tracking software. Instead, your reps gain a single platform they can easily access anytime, anywhere—with no more than a Web browser.
