The Buyers Intent feature on Zoftware gives software vendors deep insight into how potential buyers are engaging with their product profile. It helps you understand who is researching your product, which organizations are showing interest, and how close these prospects are to making a purchase decision.
You can access all this information directly from your vendor dashboard.
