What’s A Good Alternative To Zoho For A Small Business CRM?

2 min read · By Studio44 · Published

Zoho CRM is part of a much wider suite of business applications, giving businesses a broad set of tools for managing leads, contacts and sales activity. For businesses who want that breadth, it is a well established option.

If you are feeling like an off the shelf CRM will not fit your needs and looking for a system built specifically around your business rather than one part of a much larger suite, here is what a custom CRM from Studio44 offers instead.

Only what your business needs

We build a system that includes exactly the tools your business needs. Whether that is simply a database to manage your contacts, a workflow to track your sales or a whole operating system for your business, we develop the features you need and nothing more, so there’s no navigating a large suite of features built for a much broader range of use cases and no paying for redundant functionality.

Built for specific operational needs

Most clients we deal with have something in common – they have tried off the shelf functionality but quirks and nuances in how they work have made the systems they used not the right fit. The phrase ‘square peg, round hole’ is often used. As an example of what we can do, once of our clients is a Legionella risk assessment business that generates detailed compliance reports running to around eighty pages, directly from the system with the reports fully formatted and sent to their clients at the touch of a button. If your business has a specific operational output like this and in particular if you have struggled with an off the shelf solution we can help. Whether that’s detailed document generation, industry specific reporting or something else particular to how you work, we build it directly into the system rather than working around a generic platform’s limitations.

Built to grow with you

As your business changes, new functionality gets added specifically for you, when you need it, so there’s no need to migrate to a different product or a higher tier down the line. Read more about the benefits of a bespoke CRM more broadly.
