Tact , the AI-driven sales tool that uses software smarts to simplify sales tasks, today announced integration with the newly announced Slack enterprise product, Slack Enterprise Grid.
Tact, which currently has a mobile app and Amazon Echo integration (along with in-car integration in private Beta), sees messaging tools like Slack as a logical extension of the platform. It can help automate many of the typical sales activities, acting as a helper agent inside of Slack.
“For us, what that means is that a sales team, whether they are working on a deal or with a customer, they can now bring Tact into a Slack conversation,” Tact CEO Chuck Ganapathi told TechCrunch.
Companies using Tact inside Slack can take advantage of the governance and security built into Slack’s enterprise edition to control access to programs, files and data. “As Slack expands and becomes the dominant messaging platform, we will be available with all of those controls in the same channels,” Ganapathi explained.
That’s important because using Tact (or any program) inside of Slack gives users the ability to access enterprise programs and data repositories without leaving the messaging platform.
