Keep everyone in one place · part of the Towpath estate

Central Contacts — the shared business address book

Name: Central Contacts
Brand: Towpath Digital
Availability: InStock

One address book for your whole business — with a consent trail on every contact.

Every customer, supplier and contractor in one shared place, not scattered across three phones, a spreadsheet and somebody's inbox. The difference is who keeps it right: the person the details belong to can see and correct their own record through a private portal, and every contact carries a consent record, lawful basis and timestamped audit trail. More than an address book, deliberately less than a CRM — no funnels, no lead scoring.

Why Central Contacts

What makes it different

One shared book, not three phones

Customers, suppliers and contractors in one place the whole team can see — no more asking who has the number for the electrician.

The people in it keep it right

Each contact gets a private, code-secured portal to confirm or correct their own details. The book updates itself instead of you chasing numbers.

A consent trail on every contact

Purpose, lawful basis, timestamp and evidence recorded against each record, with an audit history — the evidence you need to show how you got a number, and a place the person can see what you hold.

Follow-ups and campaigns, without the CRM

Assignable follow-ups with due dates and team queues, campaigns you can track from first contact to outcome, and a branded QR card that drops a new contact straight into one — everything landing on that contact's timeline.

Two-way Google sync

Connect Google once: dated follow-ups appear in your Google Calendar and stay in step, and a contact saved into your real Google address book keeps itself current. Google's review of our sync permissions is still in progress, so you'll meet Google's standard unverified-app screen when you connect — we'll walk you through it.

Your contacts stay yours

We never sell them, never market to them and never contact them on your behalf unless you ask us to. That is a rule, not a setting.

Better than the alternative

How it compares

The usual way

✕Phone contacts plus a shared spreadsheet — three versions, none of them current
✕Per-seat CRMs like Capsule — priced per head and built around a sales pipeline you do not have

With Central Contacts

✓One shared record, updated once, current for everyone
✓£9.99 for a team of five, then £3 a user, and a contact book with a consent trail instead of a funnel

How it would work

Keeps customers, suppliers and contractors in one shared book — the right number reaches the right job, and each of them keeps their own details right.
