What is CRM?

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a system that manages all interactions with current and potential customers in one place. Who you talked to, when, what was offered, what stage of the deal — all in one system.

Why do you need CRM?

Core CRM modules

CRM types

Operational — daily ops: contacts, sales, support.

Analytical — data analysis, segmentation, marketing.

Collaborative — multi-team: sales + marketing + support.

Off-the-shelf vs Custom CRM

SaaS (Bitrix24, AmoCRM, HubSpot, Salesforce): fast start, monthly subscription, standard features.

Custom: business-specific logic, deeper integrations, one-time investment.

Implementation steps

  2. Define needed modules
  3. Integration plan (phone, WhatsApp, web, e-shop)
  4. Setup and configuration
  5. Team training
  6. First-month monitoring

FAQ

How long does a project take?

Simple site 7-30 days, corporate site 30-60 days, ERP/CRM 2-6 months, mobile app 2-4 months. We give exact timeline after reviewing your spec.

Why custom instead of off-the-shelf?

SaaS solutions (Bitrix, Shopify, WordPress) cover 80% of standard cases. But the 20% that doesn't fit is what makes you different from competitors. Custom invests in that 20%.

What about post-launch support?

3-6 months free support is included. After that, monthly SLA (critical bugs = 4 hours, minor fixes = 24 hours).
