The Right Tools for Making Your Work Easier and Faster!

Even though Excel or Google Sheets make it possible, no self-respecting analyst would consider developing a large spreadsheet model on a smartphone. Similarly, for some people, the question isn't "Can my smartphone do it," but "How well and how well or fast can I do it?" For these people, Skrol includes professional-grade tools usually found on high-end CRM systems, costing tens to hundreds of times more. Here is a sampling of some of them:

Personalized email templates

You can create any number of personalized templates to send Gmail messages right from Skrol. Especially handy for marketing and support. Modify message text inside the compose window before sending for an extra personal touch. Reply to almost all repetitive emails in seconds. Templates are stored in topic-related folders, such as Invitations, Greetings, Promotions, Support, and similar others.

Research senders from inside Gmail

Skrol adds a menu to the Gmail message toolbar that lets you research people behind new emails on the web. From there, you can add their contact information into Skrol without retyping. All of that without leaving your Gmail inbox!

Add contacts from inside Gmail

Business-related emails commonly display a sender “signature” with detailed contact information at the end of the message. You can move all of this information directly to Skrol with just a few clicks. No retyping, no errors, and in no time.

Mail-merge to one person or any group

You can use templates to send personalized emails to any group of people in seconds via your Gmail account. Skrol eliminates complexity, duplication of contacts, and the cost of email automation services. It’s pretty magical!

Ten ways for adding new contacts with zero typing

Most contact organizers have two or three ways of adding new contacts. Skrol has ten that do not require typing. You also can add perfectly zoomed and cropped photos from a disk, search results, social pages, or clipboard.

Import contact files from any organizer, spreadsheet, or database

You can move your contacts from any other organizer to Skrol fast and pain-free. The AI-enabled import module lets you add, append, or update contacts from Excel, TAB, CSV, and Apple vCard files. You can also import custom fields, groups, categories, images and automate imports for ongoing updates from other programs.

Store up to 500 fields of information for each contact, including custom fields

Unlike traditional contact apps with a fixed number of fields, Skrol lets you store any reasonable number of emails, websites, phone numbers, addresses, social links, relatives, anniversaries, global and individual custom fields, and links to files and web pages.

Connect to your favorite places on Yelp

You can add all of your favorite restaurants to Skrol right from their Yelp pages with just a few clicks. Once added, you can make reservations, get directions, schedule dinner time in Google calendar, and share links to Yelp right from the app.

Schedule Google calendar events inside a virtual chart

You’ll enjoy adding calendar events and appointments in seconds (vs. minutes) with all available options already preset inside unlimited event templates. To complete the event entry, select optimal time and date from a color-coded timeline of your calendar, and that’s all it takes.

Edit contact lists like you would edit a spreadsheet

Imagine needing to change or add a new phone number or any other field to contact. Skrol lets you do this in seconds. No need to open a form, find a phone field, change it, save the form, and the works. Inline editing is especially handy when cleaning up large lists of names because you can work with them like you would with Excel or Google Sheets.

Enable custom list view templates for each group

Why should the “Clients” group show the same columns of information as the “Yelp” groups? Does it make any sense to have a “Company name” column in the “Family’s” list group? No, it doesn’t. List view templates let you do just that — see only the information that you need.

Skrol helps you find, link to, or reach social network profiles and chats in a single click

You can open, review, and research the social profiles of your contacts with a single click. Native support for the top 20 major social networks is built-in. You can add any number of additional social, business, or corporate networks and directories via setup.

Skrol helps you access just about any function or service in a tap or two…

Use the Contact sidebar and Action bar for one-click access to all essential functions of Skrol for making calls, sending texts and emails, connecting to social sites, getting directions, scheduling events, and sharing information.

Use a search engine of your choice for researching people and companies

You can research anything and everything about your contacts right from Skrol. Look up names, addresses, companies, telephones, social networks, and people’s photos with Einstein-grade smarts. Once found, highlight and paste their information and photos directly into Skrol with just a few clicks, no retyping necessary.

Six near-instant ways to find anyone from your past and present

In addition to a lightning-fast Google search, you can also locate people by merely typing a few letters of their names, filter the entire list on any word like “Show all people who use Gmail,” or execute a compound query, such as “find all congress people from California who are Democrats,” all in seconds.

At home on Macs, Windows, Android, and Chromebooks devices

You can use Skrol on as many devices as you need, all at the same time, and without incurring additional costs or installation headaches. Any information you enter or update on your smartphone, PC, laptop, or tablet becomes accessible in seconds to all email, messaging, calling, and voice assistant apps on all of your computer and mobile devices.

Refresh your face memory before any gathering with Galleries

On the day of the event, open the Gallery view to refresh your visual memory with photos of people that you’ve invited. It’s the easiest way to prevent embarrassing moments while attending large family gatherings, client meetings, networking events, or conferences.

Skrol will take you anywhere Google Maps, Waze, Uber, or Lyft will go!

Fetching directions or getting a ride from your home, work, or current location to anyone and back takes only a few taps, including options for walking, driving, or taking public transportation across the town or across the world. Especially handy when traveling to non-English countries because you wouldn’t need to type foreign addresses.

Never miss a birthday, anniversary, or commitment

You’ll never miss an important event. Add reminders about important events in people’s lives to their folders. Check out a list of all pending reminders at any time. Post relevant events to your calendar with just one click to avoid clutter. Follow-up with calls or personalized emails directly from Skrol.

Access contacts organized by Skrol inside connected cars and trucks

You’ll enjoy instant access to phone numbers and addresses while driving. Android Auto is connected to Skrol’s folders by default via a shared Google Contacts database. If your iPhone is connected to a Google account, then you can access Skrol’s contacts from inside Apple CarPlay.

Print labels, envelopes, badges, and postal forms directly from Skrol

Use Skrol to print personalized mailing labels, name tags, badges, and postal forms for one person, a group, or the entire list. It’s a great convenience for anyone sending packages or responsible for organizing conferences, seminars, meetups, weddings, and similar other events.

Skrol is protected from malware and cyber-theft by Google-grade security

The “Sign-in with Google” protocol guards your access to Skrol, so no separate login name and password are needed. To further protect your privacy and security, the Skrol app is powered by Google Cloud Platform service.

Despite having so many functions, using Skrol is a child’s play

If you already know how to use a smartphone, you’ll master Skrol in no time. The app is equally responsive to the input from a keyboard, mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen and will not disappoint your intuition. And detailed tutorial videos on this site will guide you along.

Skrol is frugal with your money

You’ll save a considerable amount of money over the next many years. To realize how much, think about all of the paid apps and services you are using now to accomplish a lot less and with a lot more effort. Then factor your own time.

Skrol is future-proof by design

You wouldn’t find any other contacts organizer as future-proof as the Skrol app because it leverages Google’s contacts database, People API (application programming interface), and Google’s Cloud Platform infrastructure for most of its functionality. We are positive that Google will continue improving these tools by adding more capacity, more functions, and more speed.
