SEATTLE, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Onvia (NASDAQ:
ONVI), the leading provider of sales intelligence and acceleration
technologies for businesses selling to the public sector, today
announced the release of new comment features available within
Onvia 8.
Onvia 8 is a sales intelligence and acceleration platform that
enables businesses of all sizes to easily distribute leads to their
team or existing CRM, saving time in the lead qualification and
management process. With this release, teams can optimize their
workflows by quickly and easily exchanging comments, sharing
information and collaborating on pursuits related to a specific
project or lead, all managed centrally within Onvia 8.
"We are always researching ways to optimize the workflows of our
clients, and we identified a need for more collaboration
capabilities across teams, departments, functions and channels to
streamline decisions around pursuing a lead," said Chris Woerner, SVP of Product at Onvia. "These
features give users the ability to provide status updates, make
decisions or give more information and context around a given
project, bid or RFP. Users can also edit or delete their comments
at any time and their team can receive automatic notifications via
e-mail alerts."
New "Comments" Features Enable Collaboration with Teams
Across Departments, Functions and Channels
The core of Onvia's users include field teams and decision
makers on the go. They often begin their day reviewing leads they
receive through Onvia's daily email notifications, and progress to
qualify leads in Onvia's cloud-based search portal. They are often
busy, short on time and looking for ways to streamline their
government contract pursuits.
These new features enhance the way users interact with the
public sector sales intelligence available in Onvia 8's intuitive
user interface. Clients like U.S. Bank and VSS International
already use Onvia 8 to easily identify critical project details and
documents to make efficient lead qualification decisions. The new
collaboration features allow them to save even more time in their
workflows by giving users an easy way to share information, context
and decision criteria to team members across departments (such as
sales and marketing) and channels (such as dealers, distributors,
resellers and partners).
"Reviewing Onvia leads tends to be the first thing I do each
day. I often screen Onvia leads during my daily commute, at the
airport, while at industry events or at the office with my morning
coffee. Onvia 8's mobile friendly design works great with my on the
go lifestyle - I love that I'm able to easily view detailed
information about Onvia leads, with full context and details, on my
mobile device, tablet or laptop." - Jennifer Lawson, SVP & Regional
Manager at U.S. Bank
"I just started using the new Onvia experience and wow, it is
great! The new workflow makes it so much easier to identify and
qualify leads. I just breezed through 64 new leads and am looking
forward to reviewing my new leads each and every day." -
Kaety Aguirre, Estimating Assistant,
VSS International
