CHESHIRE, England, August 6 /PRNewswire/ --

Barbour ABI are proud to announce the launch of further services to boost our online offering. Evolution which was introduced earlier this year has now evolved to incorporate a new marketing feature called List Track and advanced services for larger split-territory sales teams with the Management Pack.

By tracking projects from concept to completion, we ensure our clients always get value added roofing data for their subscription, and by reporting on 100% of planning applications, even for smaller domestic projects, we offer the best coverage of planned work available.

Users already benefit from being able to share notes across their organisation about each project they have worked, as well as set watches on particular projects or companies of interest to keep them alerted to latest developments. But now they can also keep track of who they have mailed or called using our revolutionary List Track feature and using our Management Pack, they can track and manage their usage of the service to ensure they are getting the most out of their subscription.

David Andrew, Director, says: "From user feedback already received we know that these new modules will play a central role in the sales and marketing activities of our clients. We're really pleased that the investment into our key services in recent months is translating into such a powerful and time-saving set of genuinely value-adding features for customers."

Our investment into new and existing products, underlines our commitment to both new and existing clients to go above and beyond their expectations.

Mark Terry from Howarth Timber has been a client of ours for 15 years, he says: "To date, Barbour ABI have helped us generate a substantial amount of new business, somewhere in the region of 500k pounds Sterling."

"Your Evolution product in particular has made a resounding difference to our marketing strategy. It's flexibility to help us access targeted data to reach our niche market is a major asset for us. Evolution is the best system in the marketplace today by a country mile!"

About the new modules launched within Evolution

List Track is a clever tool which means an end to de-duplicating against previous marketing lists -- saving time and money. The most powerful part of this function is that clients can track companies/projects easily to follow up, or simply exclude any who have been contacted within recent months from future mail merges.

Our Management Pack module is an add-on to the standard Evolution features package, providing management tools to help make life easier. The Management Pack includes:

-- Activity Manager which allows the client to see who has logged in and when. Viewable by day, or by searching within two date ranges, clients can also view and download details of all the projects/companies they have been looking at.

-- Territory Manager allows clients to set up other users' viewable projects and companies by location, which is invaluable if for example they have a sales team on the road who only work in certain territories.
