Overview

Salesflare is a smart sales CRM platform headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, founded in 2014 by Jeroen Corthout and others. Unlike traditional CRMs requiring manual data entry, Salesflare is built on a "zero-input" philosophy, automatically building a complete interaction profile for each contact by deeply integrating email (Gmail, Outlook, Office 365), calendar, and social media (LinkedIn, Twitter).

Salesflare serves 5,000+ enterprise customers across SaaS, professional services, consulting, fintech, and manufacturing B2B industries. Its core idea is that sales automation should start with less data entry — the salesperson's value is in building relationships and closing deals. For CRM and sales automation selection, compare HubSpot; this page belongs to the automation tool providers category.
