Built for field sales teams running on iPad

An iPad CRM that treats iPadOS as the primary surface, not a scaled-down desktop view.

Most CRMs ship an iPad experience that is a Safari responsive view with mouse hover gestures that do not work on touch and layouts optimized for 1440-pixel desktop. Strkr runs a native-feeling iPadOS surface: 44-point touch targets everywhere, Apple Pencil capture on deal cards, Scribble handwriting-to-text on note fields, Split View and Slide Over multitasking, offline mode on the drive to a customer site, and Face ID authentication on wake.

What this audience is actually dealing with

The pains that bring buyers here.

A 2026 field sales survey across 180 outside sales teams found 72 percent of reps worked primarily on iPad in the field, and 61 percent of those reps rated their CRM mobile experience as "poor" or "very poor." The gap between field reality and tooling is wide. Four pain patterns recur.

Desktop views scaled down to iPad

The hover-to-reveal menu never works on touch.

Most incumbent CRMs ship an iPad experience that is a Safari responsive view with mouse hover gestures. The hover-to-reveal menu never fires on touch; the field rep spends 90 seconds hunting for a function that lives behind a hover. Strkr runs touch-native with 44-point tap targets and explicit buttons for every action.

No offline mode on the drive

The rep drives to a customer site and the CRM goes dark on the LTE drop.

LTE coverage drops routinely on highway drives, in rural territories, and inside large customer facilities. Most CRM web apps go dark on the connection drop. The rep loses deal context, cannot update stage, and has to rebuild the touch log from memory later. Strkr runs native offline mode with local-first storage and syncs on reconnect.

Keyboard typing is the only note capture

The rep thumbs out a 200-word note on a touch keyboard after the call.

Field reps leaving a customer meeting typically have 3 to 5 minutes in the parking lot to capture the call. Thumbing out a 200-word note on a touch keyboard is slow and ergonomically bad. Strkr supports Apple Pencil Scribble (handwriting converts to text live), voice note capture with native transcription, and photo capture with OCR for business card and whiteboard.

No Split View or Slide Over multitasking

The rep flips between the CRM, Maps, and email on single-app mode.

Most CRM iPad apps run single-app and do not support Split View (two apps side by side) or Slide Over (floating secondary app). The rep hunting for the customer address, the next meeting on the calendar, and the previous email thread flips between apps constantly. Strkr runs native iPadOS multitasking so the CRM and the Maps or email app sit side by side.

Signature capture goes to a separate app

The deal signature flow bounces to DocuSign and loses context.

When a field rep closes a deal in a customer office, the signature flow typically bounces to a DocuSign email that the customer has to open on their own device. The in-person close momentum breaks. Strkr runs native in-app signature capture with Apple Pencil directly on the iPad, so the customer signs on the rep iPad and the deal closes in the room.

Face ID authentication is skipped

The rep types a password every time the iPad wakes.

Most incumbent CRM iPad apps do not use Face ID or Touch ID for authentication, so the field rep types a password every time the iPad wakes between customer visits. Strkr runs native biometric authentication on wake with session persistence tuned for field cadence.

What Strkr iPad CRM ships

Native iPadOS surface with offline, Pencil, and Scribble.

Strkr runs an iPadOS-native surface rather than a scaled desktop view. Every interaction optimizes for the field rep workflow on iPad. The capability cards below walk the surface.

Touch-first UI with 44-point targets

Every action has a tap target, not a hover.

Strkr runs 44-point minimum touch targets everywhere (per Apple Human Interface Guidelines). Every action is an explicit button or chip, never a hover-reveal. Deal cards, stage chips, action buttons, and navigation all optimize for finger and thumb interaction.

Apple Pencil Scribble on note fields

Handwrite directly into any text field; it converts live.

Scribble converts Apple Pencil handwriting to text live on every note field, discovery form, and quick-capture surface. The field rep in a customer parking lot can jot a note by hand with the Pencil and it lands as text on the deal record.

Voice note capture with transcription

Hold the mic, speak, the transcript lands on the deal.

Voice note capture with native transcription runs on every record. The rep walks to the car after a meeting, holds the mic button, speaks the recap, and the transcript lands on the deal timeline with suggested stage advance. Strkr AI parses the transcript for action items and surfaces them.

Offline mode with local-first storage

Full CRM access on the LTE drop; sync on reconnect.

Strkr runs offline mode with local-first storage on iPad. The rep driving between customer sites with a flaky LTE connection has full CRM access: deal records, contact history, pipeline, calendar, discovery forms. All edits queue locally and sync on reconnect with conflict resolution.

Split View and Slide Over multitasking

CRM plus Maps plus Mail side by side.

Strkr supports native iPadOS Split View (two apps side by side) and Slide Over (floating secondary app). The field rep running CRM plus Apple Maps for route planning plus Mail for the inbound thread has all three visible without constant app-switching.

In-app signature capture

Customer signs on the iPad with Apple Pencil.

Strkr runs native in-app signature capture on the iPad. The customer in the room signs the quote directly on the rep iPad with Apple Pencil or finger. The signed PDF lands on the deal record with timestamp, IP, and device identifier. The in-person close momentum does not break for a DocuSign email flow.

Business card capture with OCR

Point the camera, the card parses to a contact.

The field rep collecting business cards at a trade show or customer office points the iPad camera at the card. Native OCR parses name, title, company, email, phone, and the contact lands in Strkr immediately with the card photo attached. The after-trade-show data entry marathon disappears.

Face ID authentication

Wake the iPad, open Strkr, in.

Strkr runs Face ID (and Touch ID on older iPads) for authentication on wake. The field rep between customer visits does not retype a password every time the iPad sleeps. Session persistence tunes to the field cadence (typical 4 to 6 hour working session before full re-auth).

Apple Maps and route optimization

Day route plans with native Maps integration.

The field rep planning a day route (five customer visits in a territory) runs Strkr day planner with native Apple Maps integration. Routes optimize for drive time between visits, and the rep taps a visit to launch turn-by-turn navigation. The territory day runs on iPad end to end.

How Strkr iPad CRM compares

Salesforce Mobile, HubSpot Mobile, Pipedrive Mobile versus Strkr on iPad.

The three leading incumbent CRMs ship iPad experiences that are scaled Safari responsive views with limited iPadOS feature use. Here is how Strkr compares.

Touch target design

Native 44-point or scaled desktop.

Strkr: 44-point touch targets per Apple HIG on every surface. Salesforce Mobile: better than desktop responsive but still carries hover-dependent elements from the Lightning experience. HubSpot and Pipedrive mobile: scaled responsive with hover-reveal patterns that break on touch.

Apple Pencil support

Scribble on every field or no Pencil surface.

Strkr: Scribble converts handwriting to text on every note field. Incumbents: Pencil input works where iPadOS global Scribble fires but no CRM-specific Pencil surface (annotation on deal cards, signature capture, drawing on whiteboard).

Offline mode

Full offline with sync or online-only.

Strkr: full offline access with local-first storage and sync on reconnect. Salesforce Mobile: offline sync at higher tiers for cached records. HubSpot and Pipedrive: largely online-only; connection drop blocks access.

Split View multitasking

Native support or single-app mode.

Strkr: full Split View and Slide Over support. Incumbents: typically single-app mode without iPadOS multitasking primitives. The field rep running CRM plus Maps plus Mail depends on the multitasking.

In-app signature capture

Native Pencil signature or DocuSign email.

Strkr: native in-app signature on the rep iPad with Apple Pencil. Incumbents: signature flow typically bounces to DocuSign email to the customer email address, breaking in-person close momentum.

Face ID authentication

Native biometric or password re-entry.

Strkr: Face ID and Touch ID on wake with field-tuned session persistence. Incumbents: variable support; most require password re-entry on session timeout, which fires frequently in field cadence.

Honest limits

Where Strkr iPad CRM is deliberately smaller.

Strkr runs a strong iPad experience. Four places where the field motion needs a specialty surface and Strkr integrates rather than replaces.

No complex admin on iPad

Daily field work yes; workflow builder on iPad no.

Strkr iPad surface optimizes for daily field work (pipeline, deals, contacts, calendar, forms, notes). Complex admin work (workflow builder, custom field schema, permission matrix editing) runs on the web app and is suboptimal on iPad touch. Admin users typically run the laptop web for configuration.

No reporting composition on iPad

Report viewing yes; report composition no.

Strkr iPad supports viewing reports and dashboards with full fidelity. Composing a new report (field selection, groupings, filters, calculated columns) runs on the web app. Report consumption on iPad is excellent; report construction stays on laptop.

No sophisticated field capture extensions

Core capture yes; LiDAR room-scanning no.

Strkr captures text, voice, photo, signature, and business card OCR natively. Specialty field tools (LiDAR room scanning for interior design, barcode scanning for inventory audits, machine serial number OCR for field service) stay with the specialty capture app and integrate via API.

No MDM-grade device management

Face ID yes; Jamf or Intune policy integration advanced only.

Strkr runs native Face ID authentication and standard enterprise session controls. Deep MDM integration (Jamf, Intune, Mosyle policy enforcement, remote wipe, geo-fencing) runs via standard enterprise MDM wrappers on request for Enterprise tier accounts.

Compliance posture

SOC 2 Type II in progress; HIPAA with BAA.

SOC 2 Type II controls are in progress. HIPAA Business Associate Agreement extended on request for healthcare field sales (medical device reps, pharma reps, provider network development). GDPR controls ship on every tier.

No Android tablet parity (today)

iPadOS first; Android tablet web only.

Strkr iPad experience ships as a dedicated iPadOS surface with all the native features above. Android tablet users run the responsive web app, which carries most of the capabilities but not the full native polish. Field sales teams running mixed iPad and Android tablet should expect the Android experience to lag the iPad experience.

Head-to-head

Strkr versus the Salesforce Mobile, HubSpot Mobile, and Pipedrive Mobile iPad experience.

The three leading incumbent CRMs ship iPad experiences on top of their mobile apps or Safari responsive views. Here is how Strkr compares on the iPadOS feature coverage.

Feature Strkr Salesforce Mobile / HubSpot Mobile / Pipedrive Mobile
Touch target design 44-point targets per Apple HIG Scaled responsive with hover elements
Apple Pencil Scribble Native on every note field Global Scribble only; no CRM-specific surface
Offline mode Full offline with local-first storage Partial (SF) or online-only (HS/Pipedrive)
Split View multitasking Native Split View and Slide Over Typically single-app mode
In-app signature Native Pencil signature on iPad DocuSign email flow
Business card OCR Native camera + parse Third-party integration
Voice note transcription Native with Strkr AI parse Device dictation only
Face ID authentication Native with field-tuned session Variable; frequent password re-entry
Apple Maps integration Native route planning + launch External Maps app only
Day planner for territory Native with drive-time optimization Manual calendar scheduling
How teams use Strkr

How field sales teams run Strkr iPad CRM today.

The common thread across teams running Strkr on iPad: they wanted field cadence productivity rather than desktop CRM scaled down. Live motions from four customer accounts.

Medical device field sales, 32 reps

Rep post-call note capture dropped from 11 minutes to 90 seconds.

A 32-rep medical device team had reps thumbing 200-word call notes on touch keyboard after each surgeon call, running roughly 11 minutes per note. Strkr voice note capture plus Scribble annotation with the Apple Pencil dropped per-note time to 90 seconds. Across 8 calls per day per rep, the team recovered roughly 95 selling minutes per rep per day, which translated to 2 to 3 additional surgeon calls per rep per week.

Industrial equipment sales, 18 field reps

Offline mode on rural territories recovered 4 missed deals.

An industrial equipment field sales team covering rural industrial zones had LTE drops on 40 percent of customer sites. Reps lost deal context on arrival, took no notes during visits, and reconstructed from memory later. Strkr offline mode with local-first storage kept full deal context accessible on every site visit. The sales manager tracked 4 deals saved in the first quarter where the rep had the context on-site rather than apologizing and following up.

High-end residential services, 24 reps

In-app signature closed deals 40 percent faster.

A 24-rep high-end residential services team had been bouncing signatures to DocuSign email at the kitchen table close. The customer "will sign later" conversion rate was poor (roughly 60 percent of email-signatures returned within 48 hours). Strkr in-app signature on the rep iPad closed deals in the room with Apple Pencil signature. Conversion on in-room-signed deals went to 94 percent, and close cycle shortened by roughly 40 percent.

Pharma rep team, 48 reps on iPad

Business card OCR eliminated the trade show data entry weekend.

A 48-rep pharma team ran medical conferences collecting 100 to 200 business cards per rep per conference. The traditional post-conference flow was a weekend of data entry per rep. Strkr native business card OCR dropped the capture to a 3-second camera point per card. The team eliminated roughly 150 FTE hours per quarter of post-conference data entry.

Field account management, 15 reps

Split View multitasking cut per-visit prep from 8 minutes to 2.

A 15-rep field account management team ran a pre-visit prep ritual: open CRM to review deal, open Maps for the address, open Mail for the prior thread. On iPad single-app mode the ritual took roughly 8 minutes of app-switching. Strkr Split View with CRM plus Maps plus Mail visible simultaneously dropped prep to 2 minutes. The team added one additional customer visit per day per rep.

Luxury real estate, 22 agents

Apple Pencil annotation on property deal cards became the differentiator.

A 22-agent luxury real estate team used Apple Pencil annotation on Strkr property deal cards to sketch buyer preferences, mark zones on floorplans, and capture open-house visitor sentiment during live tours. The annotated deal cards became a differentiator in client review meetings. One agent credited the annotation surface as the reason they closed a $4.2M listing against two competing brokers.

Equipment rental sales, 11 reps

Day planner territory optimization added 1.5 visits per rep per day.

An 11-rep equipment rental sales team ran territories without route planning. Strkr day planner with Apple Maps route optimization reduced drive-time between visits by roughly 25 percent. The team added 1.5 visits per rep per day on average, which translated to roughly 85 additional qualified opportunities per month at steady headcount.

Enterprise AE team, 8 reps on iPad

Face ID session persistence eliminated the field re-auth friction.

An 8-rep enterprise AE team had been re-authenticating to Salesforce Mobile every 30 to 45 minutes between customer visits. Strkr Face ID with field-tuned 6-hour session persistence eliminated the re-auth friction entirely. The reps reported the authentication experience as the single-biggest quality-of-life improvement in the switch.

Common questions

What buyers in this bucket ask most.

Is Strkr iPad CRM a native app or a web app?

Strkr runs as a native iPadOS app in the App Store with full native iPadOS feature access (Face ID, Scribble, Split View, Slide Over, offline mode, native camera, voice capture, Apple Maps integration). The native app pairs with the web app so a rep on the laptop and a rep on iPad run the same data on tenant-synced surfaces. Teams coming from Safari responsive CRMs typically describe the native app as a step-change in field-cadence productivity.

Does Strkr work offline on iPad?

Yes. Strkr runs full offline mode with local-first storage on iPad. The field rep driving through a rural territory with flaky LTE has full CRM access: deal records, contact history, pipeline, calendar, discovery forms, note capture. All edits queue locally and sync on reconnect with conflict resolution. The offline posture is specifically designed for field cadence where connection drops are routine. Offline sessions can run several hours without a connection.

What iPadOS features does Strkr use that other CRMs do not?

Strkr uses Apple Pencil Scribble for handwriting to text on every note field, Pencil annotation on deal cards and documents, Pencil signature capture for in-room close, Split View and Slide Over multitasking for CRM plus Maps plus Mail simultaneously, Face ID and Touch ID for authentication with field-tuned session persistence, native camera with business card OCR, voice note capture with native transcription plus Strkr AI parsing for action items, and native Apple Maps integration for day planner route optimization.

Can the field rep close a deal on iPad in one visit?

Yes. The field rep can run the full close motion on iPad: open the deal, review context, present the quote (web-embedded or PDF), capture the customer signature with Apple Pencil directly on the rep iPad, generate the Stripe invoice from the signed quote, and send the welcome email. The in-person close momentum does not break for a DocuSign email flow to the customer email address. Teams that previously had a 48-hour drop-off between kitchen-table close and signed contract routinely compress to a single visit.

How does Strkr iPad handle complex admin like workflow builders?

The iPad surface optimizes for daily field work (pipeline, deals, contacts, calendar, forms, notes, quotes, signatures). Complex admin work (workflow builder, custom field schema, permission matrix editing, approval threshold tuning) runs on the web app and is suboptimal on iPad touch. Admin users typically run the laptop web app for configuration. The split is intentional: the iPad is for the field motion, the web is for the admin motion. Both surface the same tenant data.

What is the Android tablet experience?

Strkr iPad experience ships as a dedicated iPadOS surface with all the native features (Scribble, Pencil, Split View, offline mode, Face ID, business card OCR, Apple Maps). Android tablet users run the responsive web app, which carries most of the capabilities but not the full native polish (no Scribble, no Pencil annotation, limited offline, no Face ID). A dedicated Android tablet app is on the roadmap but iPadOS is the primary tablet platform today. Field sales teams running mixed iPad and Android tablet should expect the Android experience to lag the iPad experience.
