Getting around
001

Pipeline, Customers, Vendors, Tasks and Notes, Deal Archive, Reference Desk and Team in the top nav

Call them whatever your desk calls them. Dashboard or pipeline, customers or clients, vendors or dealers, whatever your desk calls them. Yours to mold.

002

Brain, for managers: case review, saved memories, precedent library, watchlist

003

Syncs itself in the background, or force a sync on demand when it is paired with other software such as Salesforce

004

SF Sync re-pulls straight from Salesforce

005

Get a call, jot a lead, fast. Pre-App takes a name and a number before there is a real application

006

Account menu: activity log, huddle, what is new, sound alerts, sign out

007

A red dot when a release note lands. You always know what is new or stale just by looking at the colors

Search
008

Search everything, really. Old deals, new deals, people, vendors, tasks and notes, word for word true search, grouped by section on a single page

009

Esc freely. Always go back without pressing back, and the full board returns. Truly refreshing

010

While searching, the huddle feed and archive filter to your term too

Pipeline board
011

Read the board left to right: pending info, submitted, approved, prop signed, docs ordered, docs out, in funding. Name your stages whatever you want, add some, take some out

012

Drag a card between columns to move the stage

013

Click a card to open the full deal drawer, and Esc out of it

014

Card color is heat: red overdue, gray waiting, purple delegated, teal assisted out, orange second look

Feature 014

Read the floor without opening a thing

Every card carries its own temperature. Red is overdue, gray is waiting on somebody else, purple is with your processor, teal went out on assist, orange came back for a second look. A manager can stand behind a rep and know what is wrong from six feet away.

015

Drag a file onto a card and it attaches, without opening the deal

Feature 015

Files land where you drop them

Drag a file into a deal straight from the pipeline board. Out of your email, out of a text, off your desktop. It asks you to name it right then and there and it is filed. No opening the deal, no upload screen, no renaming it later. No editing, just flow.

016

Fill in a pre-app lead in place: name, phone and email on the card face

017

Count pills as live filters: active, urgent, approved, submitted, docs out, dormant, sent out

018

All Mine shows your deals only, and un-fades a teammate's when you are covering

Feature 018

Works alone. Works as a team.

All Mine narrows the board to your own deals when the floor is busy, and un-fades your partner's when you are covering for them. Delegate a deal and it moves off your board entirely, then comes back the moment it is your turn again. One person or fifteen, the board is the same board.

019

The pipeline pill carries total dollars on the board

020

Press N to log a call against any deal without opening it

Feature 020

A call logged in four seconds

The reason CRMs go stale is that logging a call costs more than making one. Press N, pick the card, type the sentence. No drawer, no form, no stage change you did not ask for.

021

Work the due bar: open it, mark done, dismiss

022

Parked follow-ups sit at the bottom of their column with a date chip, green due today, red past due

Feature 022

Park it without losing it

A deal you cannot touch until the fourth does not belong at the top of your column, and it does not belong in a separate task list either. Park it with a date and it drops to the bottom of the stage it is already in, wearing a chip that says when it comes back.

The chip turns green on the day and red once it is past due, so a column reads at a glance: live work on top, parked work underneath, nothing hidden in a folder you have to remember to open. If something lands on a parked deal, a note, a document, a reply, the card lights back up on its own and climbs out of the parking lot early. Your board stays short without anything going quiet.

023

A parked card lights back up when something new lands on it

024

The recent updates strip shows what changed since you last looked

Right-click a card
025

The quick menu, without opening the deal

026

Mark waiting today and it sinks, then clears itself tomorrow

Feature 026

A snooze that cannot become forever

Mark a card waiting and it drops to the bottom of the column for the rest of the day. Tomorrow morning it is back where you can see it. Nobody has to remember to un-snooze anything, which is why nothing quietly dies here.

027

Add equipment and price, and typing 100k works. No Edit button to hunt for, just click the thing on screen and change it

028

Quick note, mark urgent, open deal

029

Assist or delegate to a teammate with one click, or let the next team up take it

Deal drawer, command strip

032

Mark dead, with the reason recorded

033

A follow-up date re-labels the button: due today, overdue three days

034

SF opens the deal in Salesforce

035

Take this lead on a teammate's card shows them a handling watermark

036

TIB, XPN, EFX, TU, price and CP pills take a typed number, and empty pills show a red plus

037

Bureau scores pre-fill from the credit report on file

Deal drawer, people
038

The customer name jumps to their full profile

039

Call, text or email from the customer card, once your phone or email is connected

040

Label phone numbers, cell, office, spouse, and add more right there on the screen. One click, everything, forever

041

A date of birth feeds the birthday program, so you never miss one again. A quick text to show you care

042

A second contact for a spouse, assistant or guarantor, with a primary

043

Customer edits flow through to the linked record

044

The vendor card holds the W-9, wire instructions, dealer license, deal history, or whatever else you want. It stays with that vendor forever, so you never ask for the same thing twice

045

Swap the vendor, save a one-off, or add a private party seller

046

Track the referral fee owed on this deal

Deal drawer, stage and health
047

A one click stage map down the left of the deal drawer, pre-app through funded, or drag the card on the board. Two ways to stay organized

048

Days in stage, days in pipeline, last activity, tallies and file count, aging orange then red

Deal drawer, submissions
049

Add a desk with name, status and rate note

050

Flip a status inline: pending, approved, declined, more info

051

Expand a row for the full decision note

052

A banner nags when the stage says approved and no approval is logged

Notes, stips and reminders
053

Notes save on Enter, and a draft survives closing the drawer

054

Write call Marcus tomorrow and the reminder sets itself, typos forgiven

Feature 054

Write the note. The reminder sets itself.

Type the sentence you would have typed anyway. Call Marcus tomorrow. Follow up next week. Check title in five days. The note saves, and the reminder is already set, with no date picker, no second field and no separate task to create.

It reads plain words the way people actually type them, and it forgives the typo. Tomororw still means tomorrow. That is the whole trick to a CRM that stays current: if logging the work is faster than remembering it, people log the work.

055

Turn what you typed into stips, comma separated, pinned atop the journal

056

Check off stips as they clear

057

Reminders in plain words: tomorrow, in five days, next week

Deal ledger
058

The ledger builds itself from your notes and the chatter

Feature 058

Where the deal actually stands

Instead of making you reread three weeks of journal, the ledger writes the current state of the deal in plain sentences, assembled from your own notes and the chatter around them. It is the answer to what is going on with this one, before the customer asks.

059

Rebuild the tally on demand

060

Thumbs down, and your correction becomes a standing rule

Feature 060

Correct it once, and it stays corrected

Every tally has a thumbs down. Say what it got wrong and your correction becomes a standing rule applied to every future deal, on every board. You can open the list of rules and read exactly what the system has been taught.

061

Read back every rule you have taught it

Deal drawer, files
062

Upload, or drop files anywhere in the pane

063

Preview in a side panel you can drag wider

064

Right-click a file, rename it, press Enter, and the name sticks everywhere

Feature 064

Rename it once and it stays renamed

Right-click the file, type the name you actually want, press Enter. That is the whole interaction. No properties panel, no re-upload, no scan_0043_final_v2 sitting in the packet forever.

The new name follows the file everywhere it goes, so when you drag it into an email it arrives as the name you gave it, spelled the way your processor expects. It is a small thing that you will not want to work without once you have used it.

065

Drag rows to reorder

066

Bulk actions: download, photo album, pin to customer, move to another deal, hide, delete

067

070

Pin a file to the customer and it attaches to every future deal

Feature 070

Paperwork that stops repeating itself

Pin the voided check, the license, the articles of incorporation to the customer instead of the deal. From then on they attach themselves to every deal that customer ever does again. Documents that land on the wrong deal can be moved without re-uploading.

071

Reassign a document that landed on the wrong deal

072

The Salesforce review and chatter feed inside the deal

Feature 076

The proposal, in your own paper

077

The doc request arrives with customer, vendor, equipment and terms already filled

Feature 077

The doc request, already written

The form your processor needs, arriving with customer, vendor, equipment and terms already filled from the deal. Quick layout or the classic paper layout, extra signers, second vendors, prefunding, all of it. Export as PDF or XLS, print it, or copy it.

083

Handing deals off

A handoff is when a deal moves to another rep. Assist sends an early one out so somebody with time can work it. Delegate parks the paperwork with your processor. A second look gives a closing that fell apart to a fresh rep who gets one more shot at saving it. Everybody keeps a share, and the software tracks who has what.

084

Assist passes an early deal whole to another board at 75/25, with a note

Feature 084

Handing off without losing the thread

Assist sends an early stage deal whole to another board with the split already set at 75/25 and your handoff note attached. Recall pulls it back any time before docs are ordered. Hand back returns one you cannot work, with notes, so nothing bounces silently.

085

Recall pulls an assisted deal back, allowed until docs are ordered

Feature 112

113

Paste screenshots or drop files, and pin the good stuff

114

Read receipts: initials under the last message each person has seen

Feature 114

Press J for the assistant, with one taps for what to work on next and stale follow-ups

118

Ask about any deal, desk, customer or next step

119

Answer the small deal question popups when a processor pings you

Focus mode
120

Feature 132

Your sent mail, filed for you

Every hour it indexes your sent mail and drops each message onto the deal it belongs to. Texts too, matched by the phone number on the record. The thread is where the deal is, not in a search you have to remember to run.

133

Rebuilds the processing playbook hourly from real outcomes across the team

134

Builds a written profile of every desk from rate sheets, emails and your own approve and decline record

Feature 134

The reference desk writes itself

Rate sheets, email threads and your team's own approve and decline record, rebuilt every hour into a written profile of every desk you send to. It gets sharper as the team works, because it is reading what actually happened.

135

Backs the whole system up weekly

The birthday pipeline
136

Reads licenses on file with on-machine OCR, so no data leaves the building

Feature 136

Birthdays off the ID you already have

The license or credit report is already sitting on the deal. It reads them on the machine, straightens sideways phone photos, upscales bad scans, and fills the birthday in. No data leaves the building, it will not accept an implausible date, and if two documents disagree it records nothing.

137

Reads credit reports and pulls the date of birth off page one

138

Straightens sideways photos and upscales blurry scans

139

Returning customers
142

Recognizes a returning customer by phone or email against about 1,600 archived contacts

Feature 142

It remembers your customers

A new deal is matched by phone or email against roughly 1,600 archived contacts. When it is sure, their history, notes, language preference and card count come back with them, and a note explains why the record filled itself in. When it is not sure, it says nothing.

143

Restores their card count, birthday, language preference and every archived note

144

Walks away silently when the match is ambiguous

145

147

Snapshots your board before every write, the last hundred restore points

148

About twenty named no-erase rules protect funded amounts, commissions, docs, notes, stips and reminders

149

Dead deals stay dead, merged duplicates cannot resurrect, chatter is permanent

150

Every protection applied is written to an audit log with names and counts

Handoffs that carry themselves

The part nobody wants to administer. When a deal changes hands, the system moves the whole thing, tells the right people, sets the share, and keeps a record, so a handoff is one click instead of a conversation about who owns what.

151

A closing that fell apart goes to the next rep in the rotation, so nobody has to pick who gets a shot at it

Feature 151

A second shot at a dead deal

A closing falls apart. Instead of the deal dying on one rep's board, it goes out for a second look, and a teammate gets a fresh run at saving it. Both of them share what it earns, so the first rep is not punished for handing it over and the second one is paid for the save.

The rotation decides who is next, so nobody negotiates for the good rebounds. The deal ships as a complete copy, vendor snapshot and all, the terms of the share are posted where the receiving team can see them, and one screen shows when each rep last touched a deal you passed along, so you know whether to let it ride or pull it back.

152

Ships a full copy of the deal, including a frozen vendor snapshot

153

Shares the Salesforce opportunity in the background, with no ownership transfer

154

Posts rebound landed into the receiving feed with the split spelled out

158

Bundles selected documents into one zip that extracts to a folder

159

Merges document folders when you merge two deals

160

Converts Word docs to PDF in place

Mission Control TV
161

Team charts you can open in any browser to watch the floor perform, live off the real boards

Feature 161

The screen that runs the room

Open the team charts in any browser, on the office TV, a laptop or a phone, and watch the floor perform in real time. Funded dollars, commissions, approvals and every rep against their own best month, pulled live off the real boards.

It is the cheapest motivation a desk can buy. Nobody has to ask where the month stands, nobody wants to be last on the board, and a good week is visible to the whole room while it is still happening.

162

Ranks the crew by commission, tie broken by funded dollars

163

Races every rep against their own personal best billing month

164

Streams a recently funded feed: company, desk, amount, commission

165

167

Maps flight paths to your top funded states

168

Under the hood
169

Scans messages for every deal's phone number and pulls the texts onto the deal

170

Scans Salesforce chatter in the background across ninety days

171

Learns your clarification rules: ignore this sender, map that subject to a deal

172

Blocklists deleted deals so the sync can never walk them back on

173

A live health banner for the sync, with a plain English hint

That was 24 of 182

The rest are easier to see than to read about.

The demo is the real product with a fictional company loaded in. Move a deal, open a document, ask the assistant, break whatever you like.
