With our expanded relationships feature you can add multiple companies to a contact, link companies together, or add contacts and companies to deals. Relationships can be anything from a contact who referred another contact, to contacts and companies associated with a deal.

We’ve made it easier to identify duplicates by adding duplicate record detection to contacts and companies. When adding a contact or company, if the name or email address matches an existing record, you’ll get a red notification of the records it found that matched. You can continue to create the record if you choose, but at least you’ll know there is a potential duplicate. This detection runs on all records whether it is private or not to help minimize redundancies.

Depending on your business, it might be important to track contacts who’ve referred business, or who’s related to who. We have added a feature to do just this. This feature wouldn’t have been possible without the wonderful suggestions and contributions from all of you!

As you all may know, our development team is always on the move, knocking out new features and changes karma based on your wonderful feedback. We understand how it’s been difficult to keep up. To combat this issue, we’ve added a public changelog on our website and matching dashboard widget within karmaCRM.

Our team has been hard at work, making it easier to update information wherever you are within karmaCRM. Now you can edit information in the profile view, in your lists and anywhere you see the yellow indicator when you hover over information.

After much elbow grease, user feedback and 40 hour days, we’re pleased to announce karmaCRM is in public beta. This doesn’t change much of anything for our existing users, but new users can signup without the need for an invitation code.
