My own custom CRM/ERP is finally completed
Information technology Work
I finally finalized, although “finalized” is probably not the right word, since this is a project that will continue to grow, my own CRM/ERP system that supports the organization of my work.
The project is built with Next.js and Tailwind and uses a MySQL database. It is a multi-user system featuring client management, invoicing, revenue tracking, an integrated email client, and an online lead research system powered by a small data-scraping engine (Google Reviews, LinkedIn, etc.) that returns a score indicating whether a business could be worth contacting to offer services.
I also integrated a basic quotation-generation system, allowing me to provide clients with a real-time starting price estimate for their idea.
I developed it because, in cases like these, when a company needs to manage itself, there are essentially two major possible approaches:
- An extremely flexible system
- A tailor-made system
Being a programmer, I chose the second option and decided to develop my own platform that could fully satisfy my needs, while also integrating solutions capable of helping me solve recurring problems in a way that best fits my workflow and working style
