SYSPRO's Contact Management System enables you to store and query information about the people you interact with in the business environment. It assists you in tracking communications, appointments, activities, etc., between the touchpoints of an organization.
Contacts are the customers, suppliers, and accounts that are connected to the organizations with which you do business.
Activities in the Contact Management System are events that are recorded against your contacts, such as phone calls, emails, meetings and tasks.
