Topic: CRM software needed - preferably open source

Hi, I am on the lookout for some easy to use CRM software. I need to consolidate spreadsheets into one system and then hopefully become more efficient in the small brokerage i am involved in. Can anyone assist in this regard? Feel free to request additional information smile

Re: CRM software needed - preferably open source

What I really recommend is an online CRM package which is actually much more than that. It's name is Comidor. I've been using it for more than 2 years. It's easy to learn and use, it's online so you can easily use it from your home's sofa and last but not least, its cost is really low compared to what it offers. Apart from  CRM, you can use its PM package to manage your projects, the FI package for a full financial review and Document and Task Management which are all offered in the main package. Not to mention its impressive diagrams and reports which provide you a full realistic review just with a click. I believe you should give it a try!
Good Luck!  smile

Yes! There's a standard and customised dynamic time-based analytics option which you can easily use in all units (CRM included).

Thank you. I noticed it is US based and I am in South Africa. Will i be able to change currency and adapt it to local conditions?

Of course! I don't think it would be a problem. I am using it in Greece! But just to be sure, you can ask Comidor's support team at support@comidor.com , I'm just a user of Comidor. They are very helpful, so do not hesitate to ask whatever you want!

Lovely place to be. Thank you for the advice.

Re: CRM software needed - preferably open source

Is it possible to create your own (free and relatively simple) CRM system? More specifically, have a functional CRM that we customize and avoid any type of costly SaS.

We would like to create a way to manage client lists with an ability to:

1. Sort by types of services they use
2. Sort by type of business/industry
3. Sort by monthly/annual spend
4. Add client specific notes
