Tylr Mobile Launches An Email Inbox For Salespeople That Connects To Salesforce.com

Tylr Mobile today announced WorkinBox, a new mobile email inbox for salespeople connected to?Salesforce.com. WorkinBox matches incoming email with CRM data to help sales people prioritize and focus on messages from customers and prospects, access relevant information and files from CRM, and update CRM systems. The technology has two parts: A native iOS application and contextual engine with connectors to IMAP and the salesforce API. A cloud-based mobile work platform that IT can use to configure the app and add additional data sources, without having to customize. Salespeople can sort their inbox by opportunity size, and access the information and files they need to resolve customer questions. They can turn messages into actionable tasks, and update salesforce.com as they work.

Switching context between the two is cumbersome, especially on a mobile device. ?If a single app could bring those two worlds together, providing instant access to the information and actions needed to win a deal, companies will be lining up to use it. Co-Founder Ryan Nichols said Tylr competes with?two types of startups. Mobile sales tools like Crushpath and Doubledutch that he says would be concerning if they tackled the elephant in the room for mobile productivity: the email inbox. ?He said there are a group of startups tackling mobile email, like
