New Batchbook Social CRM iPhone App Helps Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs Go to Work on the Go

Providence, RI, October 15, 2010— BatchBlue Software, provider of the Batchbook social CRM (customer relationship manager) for small businesses and entrepreneurs, announces the release of the Batchbook iPhone application which provides mobile access to features such as Batchbook's Contacts, To-Dos, and Deals among other functionality.

This free application, available immediately on the App Store, allows small businesses, entrepreneurs and those in growing organizations to keep track of their professional, personal and social networking contacts and share them with the rest of their team anywhere they use their mobile phone. As with the web-based Batchbook social CRM software application, the iPhone application gives Batchbook account holders who own an iPhone device access to an affordable, easy-to-use mobile customer relationship management solution whether in the office or out. Users can track their conversations, including emails, notes from live meetings and social media interactions, all from their Batchbook app. All changes are immediately synced with their Batchbook account, giving well-connected businesspeople, from real-estate agents to marketers to salespeople, real-time access to crucial business information.

"Building professional relationships takes work. The new Batchbook iPhone app assures each person in an organization has the best, most up-to-date information possible to better manage their relationships and keep their conversations going," said Pamela O'Hara, President of BatchBlue Software. "People everywhere are getting more done in their professional and personal lives from their mobile phones, and it is reflected in our customer base; an iPhone application has been the number one request for the past year. The launch of the Batchbook app is another move in line with our company's mission of providing growing businesses with tools to make them more efficient."

"My iPhone has become vital to my daily communications," said BatchBlue customer Darrin Rich, Owner of Shinybot (http://shinybot.net), "Having the power of Batchbook on my iPhone to manage my contacts when away from my office computer will be a huge time saver for me."
