CRM software development

Creating a CRM system from scratch is justified if existing SaaS software solutions do not meet your business requirements. Otherwise, it is more cost-effective to purchase or rent a license to use an existing system.

In the case of specific requirements, we prepare a brief description of the software, agree on the pricing, divide the work into stages, and move on to the practical programming phase. The cost of such CRMs depends on the number of required modules, their complexity, and the functionality for managing customer databases.
