contact manager

Software that keeps track of people and related activities. It is similar to a personal information manager (PIM), but is specialized for sales and service reps who make repetitive contact with prospects and customers. The foundation of a contact manager is a name and address database, from which phone calls, meetings and to-do items are scheduled. The contact manager may also link each record to related e-mail messages and text documents.
