With the introduction of WordPress for the iPhone (and iTouch), combined with the Google Docs plug-in for use with Google Spreadsheet, large amounts of tabular sales data can now be remotely viewed and updated with a combination of Google Docs and WordPress.
Question: Who could use this?
Answer: Anyone with a need to distribute centrally updated information
This would be applicable for any client, not just clients interested in distributed sales data, but also those that need to have a distributable and updatable information source for its mobile workforce.

Combined Systems
This allows your CRM system to be integrated with your content management system. Furthermore, both product specification data and sales data can be accessed in a way that is integrated with the rest of your website. This eliminates the need for mobile workers to login to multiple systems. Futhermore, you can have a many to many relationship between your spreadsheets and your web pages.
With the iPhone workers can both read and update data even without accesss to their laptops.
