If you’ve ever spent a day driving from one client to another, you know the pain. You visit someone, then realize another client was just five minutes away. It’s the kind of mistake that makes you want to fold your GPS in half. But with Handheld Contact, that never happens again — because your contacts aren’t just names in a list. They’re pins on a map.

See Who’s Nearby, Before You Hit the Road

Whether you’re using Handheld Contact Classic or API, you can view all your contacts based on their geographic location — right from your phone or tablet. The app automatically displays who’s closest to you, so you can plan your day more efficiently. You can even tap a pin to pull up full contact details, review history, or schedule an appointment — all without leaving the map view. That’s what smart mobility looks like.

From “Who’s Next?” to “Who’s Nearest?” 

Field sales and service professionals live on the move. Between client visits, schedule changes, and traffic delays, time is your most valuable resource.

Handheld Contact turns geography into strategy:

  • Find nearby prospects or customers.
  • Optimize routes to minimize backtracking.
  • Fill schedule gaps with spontaneous visits that make sense.

The result?

More connections, fewer miles, and better use of every hour.

Why Act! Mobile Can’t Compete 

Most CRM mobile apps treat geography as an afterthought — or worse, a spreadsheet column. Act! Mobile doesn’t offer true map-based contact searching or radius lookups directly on device. Handheld Contact does. It takes your Act! database and gives it spatial intelligence — so your next lead could literally be around the corner.

For People Who Actually Leave the Office

Handheld Contact was built for real mobility — for professionals who spend their days in cars, airports, and client offices rather than behind a desk. It’s for people who shake hands, not just send emails. With offline access in both HHC Classic and HHC API, and real-time syncing in the API edition, you can plan, pivot, and visit smarter no matter where the day takes you.

Every update, note, or meeting is automatically tied back to your Act! database, keeping your team connected and your pipeline accurate. Because in the field, efficiency isn’t just about saving time — it’s about creating more of it for what really matters: building relationships and closing deals.

Handheld Contact.

Mobility that means business.
