We did :) Our founder, Dmitri Eroshenko, started Relenta as a side project at Clicklab, our sister company. The idea was to take several different types of software that our team used regularly and distill them into one single program. We thought an all-in-one email/CRM/group calendar/mailing list management/task management app might help reduce busywork.
As it turned out, by interlinking all communication activity (including email messages, call notes, reminders, follow ups, tasks, voice mails, meeting transcripts) between our team and each customer, and making the whole set of information available to all employees who interact with any given account, we found ourselves getting twice as much done in half the time. Hear it from our users!
Speaking of getting things done, we're big fans of David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) principle. Here's how we can help implement it in your business: With Relenta, you can get pending tasks, important facts and other bits and pieces of information out of your head by pouring it all into a self-organizing system.
Relenta automatically aggregates all data associated with any relationship into a chronological activity stream, giving you at-a-glance knowledge of where you stand. This way, your mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that you need to do, and can focus on actually doing those things.
Do you hate copy and pasting the same data between multiple software programs? Relenta puts an end to repetitive data entry. In fact, when someone sends you an email inquiry or fills out a form on your website, Relenta can automatically add them to your contact database. You won't have to lift a finger!
Relenta is designed so that once you log into the system, it takes no more than one click to perform any of your routine daily tasks (such as read/write/search for emails, schedule calendar events, assign tasks to co-workers, create/edit to-do lists, etc). This is possible because Relenta isn't an email client with CRM icing on the cake, or a task manager that's integrated with email. It simply IS all of the above.
