What to choose?
It depends on what you want ;)
Simple and now
"Tiesiog noriu sekti savo pardavimus, gal dar prijungčiau kelias kitas grupęs. Kai bus 'BigSystem', tada galėsime migruoti, bet dar visiškai neaišku kada tai bus o dirbti noriu jau dabar."
Solution: Nauduok on-line CRM sistemas:
Pipedrive, HubSpot, BaseCRM.
Good solution as fast as possible
"Noriu 'good enought' CRM/ERP sprendimo į kurį migruos visa kompanija, reikėtų geros integracijos, bet pradėti norėčiau kuo greičiau."
Solution: Galima imti Saleforce (cloud solution) arba Odoo (OpenSource) ir juos priderinti sau. Tai bus tikrai solid sprendimai. Gal ne iki galo bus priderinta prie kompanijos noro turėti "elektorninį vedlį", bet bus good enough. Abieju sistemų diegimas/priderinimas užtrūks nuo 3-jų iki 6-šių mėnesių.
Price: apie 50-100K EUR / year už salesforce arba ~15k EUR už Odoo pritaikymą sau.
Best solution I can achieve
"I want best solution You can achieve (good user experience, maximally meets our needs). T.y. sistema vėliau turėtų/galėtų apkeisti BA, bet kol kas tegu išsprendžia tai ko BA nedaro arba daro blogai."
Sprendimas:
-
Kompanijos IT sukurs sistema, kai tam ateis laikas (pasinadojant kitų CRM geriausiomis praktikomis).
-
Outsource kompanija gali sukurti reikiamą spredimą (pradedant darbus jau dabar) į procesą įtraukiant ir BL IT, kad vaikinai vėliau galėtų patys plėsti sistemą. Manau tai užtrūks kažkur 1.5 metų (kol bus įmanoma visiškai perduoti sistemą, t.y. joje bus visi main needed parts), bet naudotis sitema galima bus pradėti jau už 6 mėn nuo darbų pradžios.
