Take the BatchBook Tour

BatchBook is the social CRM built for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

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. You can create a flexible, easy-to-use contact database from scratch, or import your contacts from an existing system. In addition to standard contact information, you can use SuperTags to create custom fields you’ve added yourself to capture the information that’s important to you (such as customer information, personal details, or social networking profiles).

BatchBook's Contacts tab offers a variety of filtering options and powerful batch actions so you can efficiently manage your network.

Social media monitoring

With one click of the “Search Social Network” button, you can easily find and add your contact’s Twitter, Flickr and LinkedIn profile information. When you view the contact record, you will have links to social networking profiles as well as their last three tweets, most recent Flickr photos, and a LinkedIn summary will appear alongside their contact information and communication history, giving you a more holistic view of their social networking activity.

You can also add other feeds such as work and personal blogs by using the Social Media supertag.

Custom fields with SuperTags

A SuperTag is a tag with a lot more power (hence, the super hero status!). By turning an ordinary tag into a SuperTag, you can group contacts together and create custom fields for only those contacts. SuperTag your “press” tag to track custom information about your press contacts like publication, topics, and preferred contact method. SuperTag your “customer” tag to store customer data such as birthday or account information.

With SuperTags, you can choose from different field types, including text, number, yes or no, phone number, email address, website, date, recurring date, multiple choice and even RSS feed. Every SuperTag field is searchable through BatchBook’s powerful advanced search and reportable through BatchBook’s Lists & Reports.

Communications tracking

BatchBook Communications allow you to log emails, phone call notes, or any other communications with your contacts. Follow the communications stream of your entire team by subscribing to the feed. Want to see the last time your company contacted a client? Simply look up your client and that information is displayed on their contact record.

Also, with BatchBox email forwarding, you can send emails directly to BatchBook. BatchBook 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.

Lists & Reports

BatchBook’s Lists & Reports allow you to build a list from all contacts, an advanced search or tags to better manage your contacts. Use a list to easily generate mailing labels, export, or back up your data or create customized, printable reports from your contact data. Use these reports to generate call lists, add to presentations or to take notes when you’re traveling, in the field, or working off-line.

Using BatchBook’s integration with MailChimp, you can send beautiful, custom email newsletters to your contact list.
