It helps you keep track of every employee\u2019s activity. You know what they\u2019re doing and how well, at any given time.<\/p>\n<p>The reporting section is very easy to use and if your company works off commission, then the detailed reports can make it extremely easy to calculate.<\/p>\n<p>This feature also offers a thing called \u201cpipeline\u201d reporting, which shows you the total number of leads and opportunities of any upcoming project.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Easy to Implement, Easy to Manage<\/h2>\n<p>What really sells this edge CRM platform is its slick interface. The application will require some time to setup, depending on the type of machine you\u2019re installing it on.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get it up and running, everything gets a lot easier. The whole interface is extremely well designed.<\/p>\n<p>This program was created by people from the sales world, so you know that they spent a lot of time trying to optimize it for all types of salesmen around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_inline_mjk9fipzwq1qz4rgp.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-625 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_inline_mjk9fipzwq1qz4rgp.png\" alt=\"tumblr_inline_mjk9fipzwq1qz4rgp\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_inline_mjk9fipzwq1qz4rgp.png 500w, https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tumblr_inline_mjk9fipzwq1qz4rgp-300x216.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Close.io comes in both a web version and a desktop version for Mac and Windows.
