Ask HN: what is the best cloud application to manage my sales pipeline?

We're currently using PipelineDeals but it doesn't give us a very clear overview of our current sales pipeline and which actions we need to take for which prospect/lead.

We're looking for an easy but powerful tool to visualize our pipeline.

Requirements we have: - Integration with Google Apps - Mobile application / mobile version - Pipeline statistics and reporting

Pipedrive is pretty cool, especially for getting an immediate status overview

I hope I am not hijacking the thread, but I would be equally interested in any open source project out there to track sales leads/pipelines.

That would be interesting. Are there already initiatives out there?

Thank you. I'm currently playing around with PipeDrive. Looks like a good solution, especially the icons indicating which actions we need to take today and later on.

Not that I know off. I had a look around those days for a decent SASS, but most of the stuff is very pricey, hence the OSS need. It shouldn't be too difficult to scrap a minimal app for this.

We are trying to create a mobile-first (tablet and iPhone) solution to managing sales pipelines for small/medium companies. This is because we personally found salesforce too bloated for our needs. I would love to chat more with you about your needs, and see if we could tailor our upcoming products to what you need.. (and do some customer development!)

Email me at gabriel@gettingrail.com if you want to chat more! :)
