I have some great news heading your way!  First COATSsql is working with SovrenGroup to provide our users the opportunity to use Resume Parsing.  We are working now to offer this technology as an add on to your COATSsql system and hope to deliver this option mid year!  We are also working with firms to incorporate automated reporting to assist those users with the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) program.  If you have interest in learning more please feel free to contact me directly.

Customer Relationship Management and COATS

The COATS sales feature has Customer Relationship Management (CRM) built right in.  Encouraging your sales and placement teams to utilize these features has benefits beyond new sales generation. With existing Outlook and Word Integration, you can remain top of mind with your prospect and active clients! 
 
Every prospective client should be entered and tracked in COATS.  Within the Client Sales screen you can enter Emails, Phone calls, Visits, Appointments, Public Relation calls, and Face to Face Contacts.  Since every contact deserves a follow up, the date can be entered into a "hotlist" within COATS or can pop up as a reminder call within Outlook!  Further, attaching Word documents or PDF documents (that you've sent to your clients) for review within the Sales section provides all users with an immediate picture as to where your agency is with that account.
