Software Development CRM

When the proposal in sales, the incoming bug record and the monthly licence invoice sit in separate tools, how much a customer earns you and how many support hours they eat up never come side by side anywhere.

Support requests, bug reports and development requests land in the same queue; the type field separates them, and the licence renewal date is a field on the customer card.

Software Development CRM
  • Produce a proposal from the customer request, track its stages, measure the conversion rate
  • Collect support requests, bug reports and development requests in a single queue and separate them by type
  • Run project-based invoices, monthly licence tracking and payment reminders
  • Move potential projects forward through the Request, Analysis, Proposal and Contract stages
  • Let the whole team answer the customer from a single WhatsApp number
Project Proposal ManagementA request is opened as an opportunity record; the proposal is produced under it with its line items, and the conversion rate comes out of the stage report.
Customer Support TrackingSupport requests, bug reports and development requests land in the same queue as records; because the type is written in its field, separating them is done with a filter.
Revenue And Invoice TrackingLicence and project lines sit under the customer card; a reminder task is opened based on the renewal date field.
Pipeline ManagementThe Request, Analysis, Proposal and Contract stages are defined on the sales pipeline; the time spent waiting at a stage is calculated from the record dates.
Scope Change RequestAn additional request arriving on an ongoing project is a change request linked to the project; the delivery date it affects, the additional fee and the customer's approval sit in fields, and no development task is opened until the approval arrives.

In a software company a customer is won twice: the first time when the contract is signed, the second at every licence renewal. In the time between, the weight of the relationship shifts to the support queue; the record that lands there is sometimes genuinely a bug, and sometimes a new development request that ought to be charged for. When the two are piled into the same box, the billable work gets lost among the work that is within scope.

Rapitek CRM keeps the incoming record together with its type, and shows the same customer's open proposals and issued invoices on the same card. Because licences whose renewal date is approaching are tied to a reminder, collection comes onto the agenda before the customer asks. If a connection to the Logo, Netsis, Mikro or SAP side is needed, we build it ourselves; there is no out-of-the-box module — the connection is built specifically for the project over the REST API and webhooks.

Frequently asked questions

How do we tell a bug report apart from a paid development request?
Support requests, bug reports and development requests land in the same queue as records; because the type is a field on the record, separating them is done with a filter, and billable work is collected in a separate list.
How is an additional request on an ongoing project managed?
An additional request is a change request linked to the project; the delivery date it affects, the additional fee and the customer's approval are its fields. No development task is opened until the approval arrives, so out-of-scope work does not quietly begin.
How long does setup take for software development?
After the discovery call we give you a date, not a range — how many fields, how many stages and how many reports your software sales and support process requires becomes clear in that call. We migrate your data ourselves; the scope of the migration, and its cost if there is one, are worked out in the same call and shared in writing.
Does it integrate with my existing systems for software development?
On the software development side, the proposal in sales, the incoming bug record and the monthly licence invoice most often sit in separate tools. If you use Logo, Netsis, Mikro or SAP, your CRM talks to it — we build the connection ourselves. There is no out-of-the-box module: because the access and field structure on the ERP side differ from one installation to the next, a single button does not work the same way everywhere. The connection is built specifically for the project over our REST API covering 183 business objects, OAuth2, webhooks and import/export. We work out the scope and the cost in the discovery call and share them in writing.
Can more than one person use the same WhatsApp number for software development?
Yes. We connect your own Meta WhatsApp Business account to the CRM; your team answers from a single business number and all messages appear in the team inbox. Conversations are assigned according to the rule you define. Managers can follow the conversations and the response times. Even if staff change, the correspondence history stays in the CRM. The Meta invoice is issued directly to you — we do not sell message bundles or credits.
