Capture sales interactions in real-time
Complete field activity capture with location verification and one-tap logging.

Every business built on a large outside sales team shares a version of the same challenge. The team is expensive — compensation, vehicles, benefits, and management overhead make field sales one of the heaviest line items on the P&L.
And yet, in most organizations, a small percentage of reps and teams are producing at the level that justifies that investment. SPOTIO’s 2026 State of Field Sales research found that only 19% of field sales teams achieve sustainable success — strong quota attainment paired with healthy rep retention. The gap between top performers and the rest is rarely just effort. It’s data, process, and the ability of leadership to align on a world class process — and replicate it across the organization at scale.
Operators and Board Members are forced to make massive decisions while essentially flying blind:
Scott Shapiro has spent his career leading PE and VC-backed SaaS organizations through successful exits. Before that, he led world-class field sales teams — and before that, he was at the top of those teams’ leaderboards as a rep himself. He joined SPOTIO because he recognized something most operators already know but rarely say out loud: the field sales problem is universal, and the tools to solve it have been built for the wrong people.
“We are not a traditional CRM, which is purely a system of record. SPOTIO is a system of action — it’s not just where the work gets reported, it’s where the work happens.” — Scott Shapiro, President, SPOTIO
Your portfolio companies may have a traditional CRM. Here’s why that’s not enough.
A CRM is a system of record. It benefits administrative and behind-the-desk functions, it’s expensive, provides no direct ROI, and — if you ask the reps — they don’t want to use it. It’s an expensive database of lagging indicators. It doesn’t drive what happens next, and simply put, it doesn’t help teams sell more.
SPOTIO is mobile-first technology in the hands of every field rep, driving every move they make and giving every leader visibility into what is happening and what needs to change. The difference between a company running SPOTIO and one without it is the difference between an operator who is making the news and one who simply reports it.

High-velocity D2D teams working storm-affected territories and seasonal markets.
Your portfolio companies already have a tech stack. SPOTIO doesn’t replace it — it makes it work for the field and transforms it from a cost center to a profit center.
Reps work in SPOTIO. All their activity — visits, calls, notes, stage changes — syncs in real time to Salesforce and HubSpot through native bi-directional integrations. Additional CRMs connect via Zapier; sync frequency depends on your Zap configuration. No double data entry, no switching between systems, no disruption to the infrastructure you inherited at acquisition.
