Man, I would love to know more about this. The space between a full blown ERP and a tracker on an Excel Spreadsheet is absolutely abysmal. Then when you start introducing things like fleet and field crew management on top of the procurement, account management and AR/AP while acting as a full blown salesman that a lot of middle managers are being expected to do right now, it gets absolutely soul crushing to swap between 12 different trackers per hour just to find a snippet of the information you are looking for.

I have something vibed together as an internal tool that does well enough, but definitely not something I would ever refer to as a CRM by any stretch of the imagination and the bridge between basic on-the-shelf inventory and tracking rental assets are two completely different beasts. Maybe more of a prettier version of the spreadsheets we already use with more automated functionality would be more apt.

Thanks for one of the only positive comments here. There are still areas for improvement but it has proven useful so far. Happy to talk any time.

Building this right now! I've helped several companies implement CRMs and worked on heavily customizing my ERP at work. They all suck, bad. 90% of companies only need something simple. I'll let you know when I'm finished, would be awesome to get some feedback if you're willing.

All horrible. Some of those modular CRM's seemed promising, but still felt like we would end up with oversaturated feature sets and would just be trading one suite for another and the same problems.

Definitely share when you do. If you have a repo or anything that I can follow while it is still in development, that would be great.

or better to say different people need different things. a accountant is more interested in properly calculating the COGs than the guy inputting his labor and goods on a ticket.
