Until google bought them, it was a, well, sales force utility suite. The 
sort of thing that tells you when the customer is likely to run out of 
what you ordered, what their number is, who's in charge, etc.

Imagine if you're (say) a company selling auto parts to garages, or a 
company selling copier machines to businesses. You have thousands of 
customers, dozens of salesmen, all kinds of schedules, etc. Imagine 
Outlook extended into dealing the the customers as well as internal 
corporate stuff. Now, run it over the web. That's what salesforce.com was.
