Re: does anyone user Mobile Express?

CRM Mobile Express is an open source tool. Out of the box there's some
default functionality and any functionality that's not there, you can build
yourself or have it build.

I don't know the details on CRM Mobile Express functionality, but the source
code is available, so you can adjust it to your needs.

HTH,
