SalesCompass is an invaluable app for anyone who does outside sales. It automatically logs all of your customer visits and associated mileage.
CREATES RECORDS AUTOMATICALLY
SalesCompass will automatically keep track of all your customer visits. Just tap “Start Trip” when you start your day and tap “End Trip” at the end of the day. The app will automatically create customer visit records for each of your stops greater than 5 minutes along with the distance you have traveled from the start of your trip.
Optionally, your can tap “Add Location” at any time and it will create a customer visit record for the current location.
Each record contains the Date, Time, Location, and Distance to the location from the start of the trip. If you have visited the location before, the app automatically updates the record with the Name, Address, Contact, and Phone Numbers.
ADD RECORDS MANUALLY
You can also manually add a customer visit record when you are not in automatic stop mode. The app adds the Date & Time and Location. If you have been to the location before, it updates the record with the Name, Address, Contact, and Phone Numbers.
UPDATE YOUR RECORDS
You can edit the customer’s Name, Contact, Phone Numbers, URL, and street address. You can “Show the location on a Map” and then update the street address by dropping a pin on the exact location.
You can add any of the following items to a customer visit record:
• Unlimited text notes
• A business card photo (view photo while entering the Address, Contact and Phone Number)
• Unlimited photos
• Unlimited voice memos
• A calculator with electronic paper tape with all your calculations
• Set Follow-up meeting (automatically added to your Apple Calendar)
• Nearby Location Alert (automatically added to Apple Reminders). Specify nearby as any distance between 1/4 mile and 25 miles.

VIEW YOUR RECORDS
View (in reverse date order) all your customer records or you can specify which records you want to view by Name, Address, Contact, Phone Number, URL, Note Title, or any data in the Notes.
REPORTING
Create reports for any date range by simply specifying the number of days you want to include in your report, such as the last week (7 days) or the last year (365 days) and you can also choose which specific customer records in that date range you want in the report by Name, Address, Contact, Phone Number, URL, Note Title, or any data in the Notes.
STANDARD REPORTS
There are three standard reports. A “Map Report” showing the selected records on a map, a “Daily Log Report” showing the Date, Time, Driving Distance, Name and Note Title for all the selected records and, a “Notes Report” showing the Date, Time, Visit Duration, Name, Note Title, and Notes for all selected records that have Notes.
CUSTOM REPORTS
Create up to six custom reports. In each custom report, you select which fields you want to display and in what order. You can even add Keyword Fields in your notes and then only report the keyword fields that you select.
PARKING AND FINDING YOUR VEHICLE
You can view the location of your vehicle on a map. If you want, you can “Get Walking Directions” to your vehicle. If you use a parking meter or need to return by a specific time, you can set an alert that will alert you when to head back to get back on time.
BATTERY DISCLAIMER
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. However, the app automatically enter a battery saving mode when you are visiting a customer and not driving. Then, when you start driving again the app automatically returns to the regular tracking mode.
It is suggested that you charge your device while driving.
