blist is a great tool for human resources (HR) and employment agencies. Allan in Hong Kong writes:

“I use blist for an online database for our small employment agencies. We run an employment agency in Hong Kong, placing Filipino workers with HK families. We have to collect and keep data on the domestic helpers, including medical reports, scanned passports, etc. We also need to keep a simple CRM database on people who call or email us looking for a maid. Many of these people will eventually go from leads to customers. We also keep documents for them, proof of address, income, etc. that we use to apply for a work visa. We want to be able to integrate the two, and blist’s ability to place a blist in a blist is great.

Traditional CRMs are expensive and often difficult to set up. The makers seem to think that one size fits all. blist would be ideal for any business that needs to keep a variety of “stuff” together. It’s like having a smart file folder, into which I can stuff pictures, documents, etc., and find them and their connections quickly.”

We find that every business is unique, and while there are many needs in common, each business, not just each vertical or category, requires special consideration. This is blist’s sweetspot: simple yet powerful, and easily customized to the specific needs of your own business. Try blist for yourself: www.blist.com
