From 200+ Projects to One Platform: The Rapitek CRM Story

How 10+ years and 200+ CRM implementations led us to build Rapitek CRM - a platform that solves real problems we encountered in the field.

From 200+ Projects to One Platform: The Rapitek CRM Story

The Journey from Implementer to Innovator

Every feature in Rapitek CRM exists because a real business needed it. This isn't theoretical - it's the culmination of 10+ years and 200+ CRM implementations across every industry.

The Pattern We Couldn't Ignore

After our 50th project, patterns emerged. After 100, they were undeniable. By 200, we knew exactly what businesses needed - and what they were forced to pay extra for.

Project #23: Manufacturing in Bursa

Challenge: Complex approval workflows for purchase orders
Traditional Solution: $12,000 custom development
Rapitek Solution: Visual workflow builder included standard

Project #67: Retail Chain in Istanbul

Challenge: Multi-location inventory visibility
Traditional Solution: Third-party integration costing $8,000/year
Rapitek Solution: Native multi-location support

Project #134: Service Company in Ankara

Challenge: Turkish invoice integration
Traditional Solution: Custom integration for $15,000
Rapitek Solution: E-fatura/e-arşiv built-in

Project #189: Distribution in Izmir

Challenge: Route optimization for sales team
Traditional Solution: Separate software for $500/user/month
Rapitek Solution: Integrated territory management

The Breaking Point

By 2024, we were spending more time working around CRM limitations than solving business problems. Our clients were paying for:

  • Features they didn't need (built for Fortune 500)
  • Customizations for basic local requirements
  • Support that never understood their business
  • Implementation timelines stretching into months

The Decision to Build

In late 2024, after another client paid $20,000 for customizations that should have been standard, we made a decision: build the CRM businesses actually need.

We gathered our team and asked: "If we could build a CRM from scratch, knowing everything we know from 200+ projects, what would it look like?"

The Rapitek CRM Principles

1. If 10+ Clients Needed It, It's Standard
We analyzed all 200+ projects. Any feature requested by 10 or more clients became standard in Rapitek CRM. No extra charges.

2. Local First, Global Second
Turkish business requirements aren't "customizations" - they're core features. E-fatura, Turkish tax, local payment terms - all standard.

3. Implementation in Weeks, Not Months
We know exactly what businesses need. No discovery phase lasting months. We can implement in 2-4 weeks because we've done it 200+ times.

4. Support from People Who Built It
When you call support, you talk to the team that built the platform and implemented your system. No scripts, no escalation - just solutions.

5. Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing
One price includes everything. No modules, no add-ons, no surprise costs. The price we quote is the price you pay.

What 200+ Projects Taught Us

Lesson 1: Simplicity Wins
The most successful CRM implementations were the simplest. Complexity kills adoption.

Lesson 2: Speed Matters
Every extra week of implementation is lost opportunity. Businesses need results now, not in 6 months.

Lesson 3: Local Knowledge is Crucial
Global CRMs don't understand Turkish business. Period. Local requirements need local expertise.

Lesson 4: Support Makes or Breaks Success
The best CRM with poor support fails. Average CRM with excellent support succeeds.

Lesson 5: Hidden Costs Destroy Trust
Nothing kills a relationship faster than surprise costs. Transparency must be absolute.
