Key enhancements to the current version of Sage SalesLogix, version 7.5, include:

Comprehensive Web Client—Connected or Disconnected

• Disconnected Web Client: Disconnect from the Internet when you need to and still continue working in Sage SalesLogix, without sacrificing usability, customizations, or a rich user experience.
• Customer Service/Support Enhancements: Access all of the tools necessary to enhance the customer service experience and increase your day-to-day efficiencies via the Web, including the ability to create and manage defects, returns, contracts, and assets.
• Sales Orders: Create, modify, or delete sales orders via the Web. You can even allow more than one sales order for an opportunity and indicate which sales orders are final.

Efficient Lead Management Capabilities

• Import Leads: The Lead Import Wizard is a powerful tool that streamlines marketing efficiencies and increases lead-to-sale conversion rates as qualified leads are distributed quickly to the appropriate teams. A step-by-step wizard makes it easy to import leads into Sage SalesLogix, perform lead de-duplication, and distribute leads automatically to individuals or teams. You can even perform group actions for leads, assign activities to leads, and create responses.
• Lead De-duplication: Leads can be automatically checked upon import against current leads and contacts to determine whether there are potential duplicates. Duplicates are automatically resolved by the system—eliminating the complex task of manual deduplication and ensuring only clean data enters the system.
• Activity for Leads: Make leads the subject of a meeting, phone call, or a to-do task; record notes; and more before the leads are converted to contacts, ensuring the appropriate action is taken and driving the lead closer to an opportunity or sale.
• Create a Response: Sage SalesLogix v7.5 provides flexibility when importing and managing leads such as creating a response for a lead, contact, or account. Flagging a lead as a response reminds employees who open the record that the contact expressed interest in a product or service—ensuring a potential sale does not fall through the cracks.
• Group Actions: Streamline marketing efficiencies by performing actions to leads en masse upon import such as adding notes, targets to a campaign, responses, and scheduling activities.
• Automatic Lead Routing: Act on hot leads fast! The powerful workflow and process automation capabilities in Sage SalesLogix enable you to customize lead routing rules so they’re automatically directed to individuals based on criteria you define—enhancing marketing efficiencies, eliminating manual processes, and increasing sales opportunities.
