Custom CRM for Your Industry

Generic CRM fails because every industry has unique needs. We've built custom solutions for:

Common Questions About Custom CRM

Evidence-based answers to help you make an informed decision

Why do 70% of CRM implementations fail?

According to 2025 research, 70% of CRM projects fail due to cross-functional misalignment and forcing businesses to adapt to rigid software workflows. Custom CRM eliminates this by building around YOUR existing processes. Our Philippines team studies your workflow first, then builds the CRM to match it perfectly.

How much does custom CRM development really cost?

Custom CRM development in Philippines ranges from ₱750,000-2,500,000 (one-time). Compare this to Salesforce at ₱1,250/user/month: for 50 users that's ₱62,500/month or ₱750,000/year - every year forever. Custom CRM breaks even in 1-3 years, then it's free forever with unlimited users.

What's the proven ROI of custom CRM?

Research shows custom software delivers 15-20% higher ROI than off-the-shelf solutions. For CRM specifically: no monthly fees (save ₱750,000+/year), perfect workflow match (30% productivity gain), unlimited users (no per-seat costs), and you own it forever (asset on balance sheet).

Why build in the Philippines?

The Philippines has a $38 billion IT-BPO industry with 1.3 million professionals. Our developers cost 70% less than US teams ($35 vs $150/hour) while delivering equal quality. Plus, Philippines ranks #2 in Asia for English proficiency and has extensive experience with Western business processes.

How long will development take?

A typical custom CRM takes 8-16 weeks: 2 weeks for workflow analysis, 8-12 weeks for development, 2 weeks for testing and training. Compare this to 6-12 months typical for enterprise CRM implementations that still don't fit your workflow perfectly.

What about ongoing support and updates?

You own the source code, so you can maintain it internally or hire any developer. We offer optional support packages starting at ₱50,000/month - still 90% cheaper than monthly SaaS fees. Updates are implemented based on YOUR priorities, not vendor roadmaps.

Is Custom CRM Right for You?

Custom CRM makes financial sense if you have:

✅ You Need Custom CRM If:

  • 20+ users (monthly SaaS becomes expensive)
  • Complex approval workflows
  • Industry-specific requirements
  • Integration with legacy systems
  • Data sovereignty requirements
  • Unique business processes

❌ Stay with SaaS If:

  • Under 10 users
  • Standard sales process
  • No integration needs
  • Startup with undefined processes
  • Need immediate deployment
  • Budget under ₱500,000
