VisitOps founder and CEO, Diane Lubinskas  

"Historically, the lack of seamless integration between Salesforce and customer visit management technology has resulted in manually managed amalgams of unconnected processes and tools, where visibility into how on-site and off-site visits impact sales is almost nil. By utilizing Persistent Systems' deep expertise on Salesforce, we were able to closely collaborate with them to build our solution on the Salesforce platform from the start. The result is VisitOps brings these many disparate activities together in one app, automating and optimizing the visit planning process for greater efficiency, impact and ROI."

Key Features 

• Unified technology between Salesforce and the VisitOps app with workflows, alerts, approvals and calendar integrations for simplifying visit management activities.
• Leverage Salesforce data to link and track accounts, opportunities and contacts streamlining visit requests, improving data integrity and better preparing presenters for customer engagements.
• Includes calendar and room management, agenda building, surveys, robust reports and supplier integration.

Salesforce VP, Salesforce1 Platform & AppExchange, Ryan Ellis
