Salesforce debuts five new Apple Watch apps for the business crowd

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Enterprise-focused cloud software company Salesforce has shown off a new set of Apple Watch (http://www.imore.com/apple-watch) apps aimed at business users. In all, the company debuted five apps that were built with partners, focused on making employees a bit more productive.</p> <!--break--> <p>As reported by Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/2969992/ios-apps/salesforce-showcases-5-new-apple-watch-apps-for-businesses.html?utm_content=buffer39992&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer), two of the apps, BetterWorks and TaskRay, help to keep employees on the same page. BetterWorks serves up performance goals, allowing employees to quickly track a business' overall progress on things like sales goals. TaskRay, is like a to-do list for managers with progress bars and dictation. Another app, called FieldExpert, allows field technicians to check their schedule and make new appointments right from the app.</p> <p>Rounding things out are Velocity Wear and ContactWorld. Vlocity Wear accesses Salesforce's cloud services to serve up customer information and allow users to perform various actions with it. ContactWorld alerts a user to incoming calls along with information about the value of the caller to the company.</p> <p>Overall, it's an interesting peek into how the enterprise world is looking to adopt wearables to improve productivity. Salesforce didn't provide a price or timeline on when the apps will be available, but they do say many others are in the works.</p> <p>Source: Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/2969992/ios-apps/salesforce-showcases-5-new-apple-watch-apps-for-businesses.html?utm_content=buffer39992&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
