Daylite

Linked contact history

People and companies each have an Activity View: one timeline of every linked email, meeting, task, note, opportunity and project for that relationship.

Opportunities Board

A Kanban-style board moves sales opportunities through customizable stages, with estimates built from saved products and services. Leap has 1 pipeline, Growth 3 and Scale 10.

Projects

Client work is tracked as projects with their own board, pipelines, linked tasks and appointments. Active projects are capped at 10 on Leap and 100 on Growth.

Mail in Daylite

Accounts from iCloud, Gmail, Office 365 or any IMAP service are read inside Daylite, where messages link automatically to contacts, opportunities and projects.

Shared calendar and tasks

Appointments, group meetings with agendas, resource scheduling and tasks are shared across the team, with video links from Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.

Offline sync on Apple devices

Data syncs across Mac, iPhone and iPad, and the apps keep working without an internet connection, sending changes once the device is back online.

Pipedrive

Visual sales pipelines

Deals move through customizable kanban-style pipelines, with custom fields, activity reminders and products or services linked to each deal.

Email sync and scheduling

Two-way email sync, group emailing, templates and meeting scheduling keep conversations attached to the contact and deal.

Workflow automation

Automations and sequences take over repetitive steps such as follow-ups and data entry, and webhooks pass events to other systems.

AI assistant and Nova

An AI assistant recommends which deals to focus on, an email tool drafts and summarizes messages, and Nova records and transcribes calls and updates the CRM afterwards.

Reports and forecasting

Customizable reports and dashboards track sales performance, with revenue forecasts on the higher plans.

Add-ons and marketplace

LeadBooster, Campaigns, Smart Docs, Projects and Web Visitors extend the CRM at extra cost. The marketplace lists more than 500 integrations.
