Salesbuilder

Whether you like it or not, personal life, and even the success of your business depends on a good financial management. Even if transactions and other data are kept on paper, computers greatly enhance keeping records, calculus, and overall management. In this regard, specialized applications like Salesbuilder want to make it both easy, and pleasant.

Polished and intuitive interface

With little time spent in the installation process, you can take a look at the set of features in no time at all. However, the application completely relies on Adobe AIR for both deployment on your computer, as well as for proper functionality.Once the application launches, you’re greeted by an impressive custom-made interface, with high-quality textures for its elements, neat animations for all interactions, as well as an intuitive overall look and feel. The upper toolbar provides quick access to features, tab support makes work more efficient, while a search field helps you easily jump to items of interest.There are several management areas, such as accounts, contacts, opportunities, and a general dashboard for the whole project. Luckily, there’s also a built-in sample project so you can easily get acquainted with management options.

Good, but far from being a pro

First of all, an account needs to be created so that all other details can be related. The creation screen also lets you handle new contacts, opportunities, market history, or access and view news feeds.Requirement fields are pretty intuitive, with various general info fields, address, account tracking, as well as rating and priority options. Contacts are created in a similar manner, with all of them displayed in a neat interactive panel, with the possibility to choose from a list view and animated boxes.However, overall navigation can feel a bit difficult and confusing, despite the intuitiveness of the interface and pretty visuals. Whenever a dependency is encountered, you need to figure it out yourself, with options not triggered until requirements are met, and no hints provided in this regard. Data can also be exported to file under the XML format.

On an ending note

To sum it up, Salesbuilder wants to make it easy for you to keep an eye on your business financial situation. The interface is pretty intuitive at a first look, with polished elements, and quality aesthetics. However, visuals don’t mean the application is flawless, with various confusing parts, somewhat difficult methods to add data, putting a lot of pressure on overall practicality.
