Pipeliner 5 Update – Refined User Experience

We’ve got some exciting news for our Pipeliner CRM users.

Let’s take a closer look:

Refined User Experience

All Pipeliner forms and fields have been completely refined to bring you a better user experience.

The user experience encompasses all aspects of how you interact with Pipeliner CRM. The goal of this release was NOT to redesign Pipeliner, but to refine it. We want to make your experience with Pipeliner not only more effective and user-friendly but also to bring consistency into the usability of Pipeliner:

“Consistency is one of the most powerful usability principles: when things always behave the same, users don’t have to worry about what will happen. Instead, they know what will happen based on earlier experience. Every time you release an apple over Sir Isaac Newton, it will drop on his head. That’s good.” – Jakob Nielsen

With this latest update, we have been able to improve the readability and clarity of all data entered into Pipeliner. Moreover, we implemented new fields functions such as: auto-complete feature, new calendar chooser, intelligent auto-complete drop-downs and many more.

Here’s how we refined the Pipeliner user experience:
