From sales leads, order history, to complaints and queries, as well as all the basics like contact information and meetings.

A big advantage for our customers is that our CRM systems are open source based, we will not charge you expensive monthly per-user fees as the CRM market leader does. Some of our competitor's packages look quite reasonable to start with, but with a few users, a couple of extra modules, and you can easily end up paying several thousand pounds per month.
