Finding the Right Person at the Right Company

You have 300 contacts. Twenty of them are named Jan. Eight work at companies in Amsterdam. Three of those are in logistics. You need the one who handles collections for the leasing company. Good luck finding that in a spreadsheet. In ReVend OS, you type “Jan,” filter by the logistics role, and there he is. Third row. Click.

Search

The search bar searches across first name, last name, email, company name, and job title. Type “operations” and you’ll find every operations manager, operations director, and that one person whose email is operations@company.nl. Type a phone number and you’ll find the contact it belongs to. Type a company name and you’ll find everyone who works there.

The whole list, not the visible rows

Search and filters run over the entire contact list before the page is chosen, not over the twenty-five rows that happen to be on screen. The list shows the matching total, the current range and the page count, with direct jumps between pages. The default page size is a tenant-wide choice under Settings > Display & lists, and the address bar keeps the search, the filters and the page, so a refresh, a shared link or a return from a contact detail lands on the same working set. Losing your place in a list is the kind of micro-frustration that makes people go back to the spreadsheet.

Filters

Filter by company, by department, by role, or by any combination, and switch archived contacts on when you need someone who left. Filters are cumulative — add a company filter and a role filter and you’ll see only contacts at that company with that role. Remove one filter and the other stays. The count updates so you always know how many results you’re looking at.

Sorting

Sort by last name (default, A to Z, because alphabetical is predictable), first name, company, job title or role, each ascending or descending, or by “recently added” for when you just imported 50 contacts and want to verify they arrived correctly.

Cards vs. table

Card view is more visual, better for scanning when you’re looking for a specific person and you’ll know them when you see their company name. Table view shows rows — more compact, better for large lists where you want to compare information across many contacts at once. Either way, a row is one link with the contact’s name on it: Tab lands on it, Enter opens it.

Both views remember your choice. Switch to table view, navigate to a contact detail, come back — you’re still in table view. Switch to cards, scroll down to the 40th card, click a contact, come back — you’re at the same scroll position.

We’re not going to let the spreadsheet win.
