is needed for a ‘traditional’ to work, sales programs as Salesforce fast and reliable mobile and well designed app says Hampus Jakobsson Swedish tech entrepreneur, founder of Dexplora.
Swedish startup made Tuesday 2 investors (Nordic Creandum and DN Capital) and 12 ‘angel’ investors known collectively $ 1.2 million (0.9 million euros) investment in new tech company.
Jakobsson gained fame in 2010 when his software design company The Astonishing Tribe (TAT) was purchased by BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion. For those over he designed with his team appearance for the first version of the mobile operating system Android.
“Successful design is not about good looks, but the question of whether a product is suitable for a particular use, and that it does not unduly surprised,” says Jakobsson against NUzakelijk.
why will not GetSalesDone, find all the new app Dexplora, convenient, so light the Swede relative (sales) niche to which he now operates.
GetSalesDone is a kind of advanced to-do list for sales people with Salesforce as to consult smart backend. Mobile is the key: “Sales People are always – at least mentally – on the road,” says Jakobsson

Dynamics
After his move to multinational BlackBerry Jakobsson missed the dynamic sense of “daily work on a breaking wave.” in their own words He left last year, to set up.
with TAT co-founder Paul Blomdahl, in August Dexplora
“What surprised us was that if BlackBerry play a big company sales programs around the same problems as with TAT, where only 180 people worked,” says Jakobsson.
“CRM programs are not updated, they cost too much time and people lose the overview. Basically, the data is unreliable. Any company with more than 50 sales people know this probeem.”
This is mainly, he says, because sales programs are sold to IT departments and CEOs. “The sales people themselves are not heard, with the result that it is difficult to use programs.”
Salesforce
Jakobsson began designing that a sales manager can update, as a shell on top of the ‘traditional’ cloud application Salesforce fast mobile program late last year – which is now used worldwide
Salesforce Welcomes the design of its program, says Jakobsson. The American company is moving more towards a platform according to him, the more difficult it is to ‘vertical’ (eg smartphones) to develop a smaller user group.

Besides, “Salesforce is so flexible, you can to speak with building Pacman” jokes the Swede.
Paid
Until last week scraped Jakobsson and his four-member team to the release version of the app. Which is provisionally free. Also for the paid version, which is more focused on desktop usage, do not give Jakobsson price yet.
“Users want money first asks if you know who your customers are, but we have not yet why we let them test the product itself, and then see what value our program. provides a company. ” According Jakobsson is that, based on an initial test phase, at least at least a two-digit “price per user per month.
Network
Speaking of money, the seed investment of $ 1.2 million is fairly modest, but ‘modern’ intent, says the Swede. “If you have particular startup knowledge and competencies required. Therefore we have a dream team of 12 people gathered.”
The rather complex paperwork to this group of people to invest was ‘interesting’, but the names are really looking, Jakobsson would say.
It’s tech gurus with ‘corporate’ experience to include Google, Amazon and Zendesk, and co-founder of Suger CRM. In view of the user experience itself there are ‘angels’ coming from Spotify and the Apple Siri program.
