Insightly Benefits

The main benefits of Insightly are its rich feature set, general usability, and mobile support. The following are the benefits in details:

See a holistic view of contacts

The one thing that we cite about this software in our Insightly reviews is that it allows you to implement CRM best practices to organize contacts–customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers–with a 360-degree view. Check their background, email history, important dates, and other data relevant to their associated projects or opportunities. Other critical actions you can do include: share files; manage contacts, opportunities, projects in a meaningful link, and mass email via MailChimp integration.

Be on top of your customer at every engagement stage

Insightly also features integrated project management at every stage of engagement with the customer. These include: oversee recent activities and track project performance and progress against your preset timeline; create project milestones, pipelines, and tasks; set automated email alerts; and track email correspondence.

Get a small or big picture of your business

With Dashboard, Tasks/Milestones, Pipeline Activity, and Opportunity Reports you get a real-time macro or micro view of your business activities.

Easy to use

Insightly is designed for the busy businessman with user-friendly and intuitive tools so it’s easy to invite new users, customize features, and secure data.

Go mobile

The Insightly mobile app is compatible with iPad/iPhone, Google Nexus, Amazon Kindle HD, and device with a similar OS.

Go social

Enter an email address and let Insightly detect its associated social networks including Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn, and wherever the user email account has participated.

Integrate easily (developers)

Integrating the CRM with other programs is easy with its conventional HTTP REST API. The vendor provides technical details and supports JSON and XML based requests. The API allows you to access and update data stored in Insightly.
