Pobuca

Pobuca is a cloud app that turns your multiple, overlapping and non-connected business contact lists into one unified company address book

Pobuca - team in contacts. There are 3 productivity pains when you try to communicate in work: - 1st: you have to find the contact information, - 2nd: to pick a communication channel (phone call, email) and - 3rd: manage to reach the business contact To see where your company stands, you can take the 5 questions challenge: - Can you access all your business contacts at once, co-workers or external? - Can you access all your business contacts on any device? - Is there a process or a tool for a new hire to access all your organisation’s contacts? - Do you feel that there is a higher need to keep on wasting time to update the contact info individually? - How much time is it lost trying to update your contacts database manually? Finally yet importantly, 62% of business people feel that they are losing more time than they should looking for contact information. How organizations are addressing that problem: A vast majority of organizations (especially SMBs) keep their contact lists in files (like Excel or Access) or use old desktop address book applications. This is difficult to share and maintain, lacks security, and impossible (or very hard in case of files) to access the shared address book from mobile (while 65% of all business people call their contacts using smartphones). Another option for mobile workers is to use the smartphone phonebook app to manage their business contacts. Consequently, valuable contact information is not shared to their co-workers and time for multiple entries is lost (each employee has to maintain his/her address book) and business contacts are mixed up with personal with no security and control. Advanced organizations make use of CRM systems, where they track accounts and related contacts. This solution is an overkill for just keeping a business address book, since CRM systems are complicated and the overall user experience is not refined for the purpose of managing contacts. Moreover, due to high licensing cost, CRM is not a company-wide application, while every employee needs to have access to the company shared address book. Last but not least, many CRM systems do not provide smartphone apps for mobile access (the target mostly tablets). Another group of customers uses services like Microsoft Exchange Public folders or SharePoint Contact lists, but both solutions don’t offer mobile access on shared contacts and a business address book structure of “companies with related contacts”. Finally, many customers don’t have any solution for keeping business contacts at all, and look in their mailbox for email signatures or ask their colleagues (loosing lots of time...) whenever they want to reach a contact.
