What is Bigtincan?

Bigtincan is a mobile content sales enablement platform, designed to make accessing and presenting content easier for salespeople. Marketers can create logic to recommend content for salespeople to share with prospects on their mobile device, based on the stage of the deal. Then content utilization is logged automatically to Salesforce, providing marketers with insight into what content is being shared with customers.

Bigtincan can also be used to enable field service organizations with mobile content, such as forms and expert knowledge/on the job training.

Additional use cases include mobile IT service organizations (similar to the field service use case), financial services (similar to the sales enablement use case, for advisors presenting investment products), and government (for mobile document sharing during meetings).

Game changer!

Return on Investment

  • Allowed our reps to increase their average time spent with customers
  • Decreased the amount of time to pull together presentations for customer meetings
