If you have got a smartphone, and you probably do, you LOVE apps. There are apps for fun, apps for information, apps for finding out where to eat and yes, apps for work. Salesforce, the data management system that we can make the powerful engine of your nonprofit, is no exception to that rule.
Salesforce1 is the mobile app available for all Salesforce users, and it meets ALL your needs. This app is not too good to be true either! Salesforce1 gives you all of the functionality of the Salesforce system that you use on your desktop or laptop computer, but on your phone. If you are at a fundraiser, a community event, or on your daily commute, you will always have the power of Salesforce in your own two hands.
Essentially, you can do all of your work anywhere, anytime, with Salesforce1.
We have not even made it to the best part yet! The Salesforce customizations DonorLynk can make to your unique system automatically and instantly render properly on the app, so you never have to “develop” anything separately to go mobile. Any on the go changes that are made to contact, donation, or event records are available on any device in real time.
There are also a ton of mobile apps, both from Salesforce itself and from a wide variety of third parties, that you can integrate with Salesforce1. It can be a little intimidating to find which apps would work best for you, but DonorLynk can advise you on which would be perfect for your specific nonprofit.
Working at a nonprofit, there is a good probability that you are out of the office a lot. Now, you will not need to worry about falling behind on completing all your important tasks with Salesforce1.
