Hey all,

Can anybody recommened a good CRM>

It must be web based, either hosted or available to setup on your own hosting.

Most importantly free!

I've got a couple in mind, Sugar and another one that begins with a z but i have lost the page.

But i wondered what anybody else used.

Cheers

Still toying with these myself,

I also have looked at Sugar, but also vTiger which seems a little less bloated. It also offers a plugin for Outlook I believe.

Hope it helps,

Gordon

Hi Tom,

I use Sugar in a few environments and find it very useful. Admittedly out the box it seems very cumbersome but it is very easy to scale it down and make it more useful. It's also open source so you can develop it etc.

I think the Z software you mention is Zoho but I may be wrong.

Zoho CRM, On-Demand CRM, Customer Relationship Management

If anyone wants any pointers with Sugar feel free to drop me an email :)

Zoho thats the one.

God do you think i could remember that :D

I might take you up on that. I quite like sugar but i want to try soho first.

I don't need any of the invoicing stuff i just want the client management parts.

Will let you know how i get on.

Cheers

Tom

I don't recommend using bitrix. It's Russian. Kaspersky antivirus and Bitrix software could be used for a cyber attack, these are Russian companies with a huge amount of user data.

A good CRM tool can help you track and analyze data when a certain product or service is most in demand. For example, gifting options are likely to be more in demand around the holidays. Having the right inventory available at the right time ensures customer satisfaction. READ MORE

I can recommend you the Firmao CRM system. It is individually tailored to the specificity of the company. In addition, before you decide to buy a package, first test the system for free.
