You lost me here: you can consider the typical “coin operated” sales person at a mature company to be more akin to a script kiddie than a hacker. The terminology you use belies a lack of understanding of sales' place in an org and is

Sorry the word manage is used incorrectly here. What I should have said is software that displays org chart info in a way that is easily accessible by team members.
