Discovery
Our approach to product development includes a discovery session that gathers comprehensive information about the potential product. We begin by exploring the subject idea and identifying the target audience's pain points. It helps us create a list of features to address those pain points through a CRM solution. Our system architects also identify potential bottlenecks and suggest the most suitable ways to fix them. They also offer a preferred technology stack for this type of project. This approach allows businesses to validate their idea before building a fully-fledged software product, reducing the risks associated with bespoke software development. As part of the process, we also create: • product vision, • project roadmap, • backlog, • design prototype, • user flow, • project architecture. It ensures that we comprehensively understand the project and can deliver a successful product that meets the target audience's needs.
#2
Design
Our primary focus is creating UI/UX designs that provide companies with a clear overview of their customers through a sound CRM system. To achieve this, we specify the CRM goals, system requirements, and primary features before our designers create wireframes. These wireframes are sketches without colors or logos that display the location of the elements on web pages and their interconnection. The wireframes are then transformed into clickable prototypes and tested on real users. Upon approval by the client, our UI/UX team begins working on the final UI design. Our design process includes the following: • estimating the design, • creating UX flow, • developing mockups, • writing user stories, • designing the UI, • creating custom themes and icons.
#3
Development
Our company that develops CRM software upholds the principles of the Agile philosophy, which stresses active collaboration with customers and continuous product improvement. This approach enables us to deliver high-quality products faster while ensuring predictable costs and schedules for our customers. To achieve this, we split the CRM development process into short iterations called sprints, which usually last for two weeks. Each sprint begins with task prioritization, followed by the development team building the predefined features. After functionality is completed, quality assurance engineers test it to ensure it works correctly and has no bugs. Only after fixing all bugs our development team releases the code to production.
#4
Release
After the development and testing of all features, the custom CRM solution is ready for production release, marking the process's most crucial and thrilling stage. At this point, end-users can finally access your digital product.

CRM software can deliver a wide range of advantages to your company and can be utilized in various ways. There are eight significant benefits that you can derive from implementing a CRM solution.
A
Better customer service
The primary purpose of modern CRM software is to enhance the relationship between businesses and customers, which remains its most significant advantage. In addition to its many functions, CRM tools help manage all customer contacts and gather critical information such as purchasing history, demographics, and past interactions across various platforms. This information is readily available to anyone in the company, enabling them to offer a more personalized customer experience that ultimately increases customer satisfaction. With all the necessary details at their disposal, employees can provide a better customer experience, leading to an overall positive impact on customer satisfaction.
B
Detailed analytics
More than having much data about your customers is required; you must comprehend its significance and know how to utilize it effectively. CRM software comes with built-in analytical features that help to contextualize data, categorizing it into actionable items and simple-to-understand metrics. With metrics like click-through rates, bounce rates, and demographic data, you can assess the effectiveness of your marketing campaign and optimize it accordingly.
C
Centralized database of information
CRM software excels in creating a single database that contains all the information related to your customers. This information is readily available to every employee of your company who requires it. Thanks to this centralized database, sales representatives can quickly identify the products a customer is interested in. The CRM also stores records of previous customer interactions, which can be valuable in tailoring future marketing efforts and sales pitches. With such a database, employees no longer waste time searching through old files and records. It streamlines the process and ensures customers a more productive and satisfying experience.
D
Improved customer segmentation
A long list of contacts can be challenging to manage and need clarification. Identifying which customers are interested in receiving your email about your new in-store product can take time and effort. Using a CRM system, your contact lists can be automatically divided into segments based on your specific criteria, making locating the right ones to contact at any given time effortless. You can sort your contacts by age, gender, location, buyer stage, etc. With automation, marketers can gain a more insightful understanding of their customers, resulting in more meaningful interactions when they do interact.
E
Improved customer retention
After securing and converting leads, retaining them as loyal customers is crucial. Losing customers frequently can negatively affect your business, such as reduced revenue and interrupted cash flow. Therefore, utilizing the CRM and its insights about your customers can help encourage repeat business. The CRM comes equipped with sentiment analysis, automated ticketing, customer support automation, and user behavior tracking features that can assist in identifying and resolving issues promptly with your customers.
F
Increased sales
Utilizing a CRM solution can simplify your sales process, construct a sales funnel, automate crucial duties, and evaluate your sales data in one consolidated location, enhancing sales and efficiency. A CRM empowers you to create a systematic sales process that your staff can depend on consistently and that you can effortlessly adjust whenever complications arise.
