01 — Why a CRM

Your customer datalives in seven places.

Spreadsheets, inboxes, WhatsApp and sticky notes can't tell you who to call next. A CRM built around your process can.

07 — FAQ

Before you ask.

Can you migrate us from spreadsheets or another CRM?

Yes. We map, clean and de-duplicate everything, run a test import, and only switch over once you've signed off a sample.

Will our team actually use it?

We design around your current process, train every user before go-live and stay on call for the first month. Adoption is part of the scope.

Do we own a custom CRM's code?

Completely. The code, database and servers are yours — no per-user licence, ever.

Can it connect to our accounting and email?

Xero, QuickBooks, Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, Stripe and most tools with an API, with two-way sync where it matters.

Is it secure and GDPR-compliant?

Role-based permissions, audit logs, encrypted backups, and EU or US hosting to match your compliance needs.

What happens after launch?

Our care plan covers hosting, updates, new features and support with a guaranteed response time.
