CRMinbox is an attempt to integrate CRM deeply with the email.

Customer Relationship Management is largely about effective communication, isn't it?

Isn't the point of communication itself a better place to manage customer relationships...rather than trying to aggregate information about accounts, deals, tasks, updates, contacts - in a separate silo - an independent (sometimes loosely integrated) CRM app.

Trying to make the CRM (information) easy to access and update.

Example usage:

- You open an email (from a customer / partner etc.)

- Corresponding account(s) are automatically identified and related information - deals/contacts/tasks/social profiles of people invovled - is shown in a contextual sidebar right next to the email.

- You need to post a status update / change the status of a deal. So you click on the piece of information you wish to edit, change it, press enter - done.

No going through several clicks / postbacks...no need to leave your Inbox, head to another system to log/share/update information.
