VanillaSoft helps the company optimize its efforts and time. Resources are limited, and for a sales department to have everything there just to be able to make hundreds of calls a day is what the company needs. It's better suited for high volume cold calling (call centers), but for other types of businesses, it works just fine. Easy to use, the information you need is accessible for everyone.
VanillaSoft is used by the Sales department only. One of the problems I have solved with VanillaSoft is that cold callers are able to get through the leads a lot quicker than other systems. This allows more leads to be called on. Another problem that was solved is the idea of having to go back and forth to send emails or make calls. With VanillaSoft everything can be done from the system without having to switch tabs. It even allows us to view a script to help during the calling process. This system also allows you to view a dashboard of all your callers to help see the progress of each team member.
Pros
Organizes leads for callers.
Dashboards allow us to view our progress within the team.
Cons
The system is 'buggy'. It freezes sometimes.
You have to hit save several times for information to update on occasions.

VanillaSoft is well suited for the call center environment. I believe that it would be best to use if you have multiple people making calls. It would probably not work well with organizations in which there is only one caller. Also, this is more ideal for the sales/cold-call/ call center. I was unable to source from this system but entering new leads was not difficult.
