Technology · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Our accountant in Umhlanga recommended it, good call

The activity discipline is the whole product: every deal shows its next step or shames you. Support chat answered our workflow question with a video of our own setup. The API let us wire our website forms straight into stage one. The pipeline discipline paid for the subscription many times over.

Pros

Automation a sales manager can build

Cons

Reporting beyond sales is thin

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Good but not perfect for our East London team

The core is superb and the extras are priced like they know it. Reporting beyond the sales basics means exports or add ons. Marketing needs a separate product entirely.

Pros

Mobile app built for the road; pipeline view the whole team actually reads

Cons

No service or ticketing side

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Good but not perfect for our Gqeberha team

After 4 years we are happy, with a budget asterisk. Features migrate up tiers at rename time, our renewal needed a careful read. Support chat answered our workflow question with a video of our own setup.

Pros

WhatsApp gateway integrations; forecasts grounded in real stages

Cons

Dollar billing breathes with the rand

Logistics · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Johannesburg team

Excellent at pipeline, ordinary at everything around it. Reporting beyond the sales basics means exports or add ons. Xero integration pushes won deals toward invoicing without retyping.

Pros

Pipeline view the whole team actually reads; adoption happens without force

Cons

Reporting beyond sales is thin

Technology South Africa Used for 2+ years

Exactly what our 30 person business needed

Our WhatsApp gateway feeds conversations straight onto deals, very South African and very useful. The API let us wire our website forms straight into stage one.

Pros

Mobile app built for the road; email sync with templates

Cons

Reporting beyond sales is thin

Wholesale · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Our Midrand agency sells with discipline now

We love the product and flinch at the dollar debit order. Every deal carries a next activity, and the system nags until it happens.

Pros

Mobile app built for the road; automation a sales manager can build

Cons

No service or ticketing side

Logistics · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Solid choice for our East London business

The mobile app updates deals from the parking lot, which is where sales actually happens. Imports are forgiving, our messy spreadsheet went in cleaner than it deserved.

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Our close rate is up and I can prove it

Setup took two afternoons including importing years of contact chaos. The scheduler ended the six email meeting arrangement dance. Reports show win rate by rep and by source, the two arguments that matter. If your sales live in spreadsheets, this is the intervention.

Pros

Forecasts grounded in real stages

Legal · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

From lost sticky notes to a real pipeline

Great sales tool, just understand that is the whole scope. There is no ticketing or service side, mixed teams need a second tool.

Cons

AI features still finding their point

Financial Services · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Working well for our 20 person team

We track about 15 live deals and the Monday meeting runs straight off the board. Email templates keep follow ups consistent across the whole team. Xero integration pushes won deals toward invoicing without retyping.

Pros

WhatsApp gateway integrations

Cons

Reporting beyond sales is thin

26 August 2024

Manufacturing · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Sales meetings went from stories to numbers

The email sync means client threads sit on the deal where the whole team reads them. Reports show win rate by rep and by source, the two arguments that matter. Five stars from a team that hates admin.

Pros

Pipeline view the whole team actually reads; rotting deal indicators

Cons

Add ons priced separately

Manufacturing · 1–10 employees Botswana Used for 1–2 years

Exactly what our 5 person business needed

Our 5 person sales team lives in the pipeline view and deals stopped slipping through cracks. Support chat answered our workflow question with a video of our own setup. Five stars from a team that hates admin.

Pros

Fast setup with forgiving imports; whatsApp gateway integrations

Cons

AI features still finding their point

Financial Services Zambia Used for 2+ years

A quiet workhorse for 3 years now

After 3 years the pipeline is still the first tab open every morning. The API let us wire our website forms straight into stage one.

Pros

Xero connection for won deals

27 July 2024

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Solid CRM with tier ladder pressure

The core is superb and the extras are priced like they know it. The AI features feel bolted on rather than useful so far.

Cons

Dollar billing breathes with the rand

23 July 2024

Construction · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Doing the job for us in Rustenburg

We track about 30 live deals and the Monday meeting runs straight off the board. The visual pipeline shows bottlenecks before the quarter exposes them. Every deal carries a next activity, and the system nags until it happens.

Pros

Adoption happens without force; xero connection for won deals

11 July 2024

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

No complaints after 2 years

The forecast view gave our cash flow planning numbers we finally trust. Support chat answered our workflow question with a video of our own setup. Custom fields carry our industry specifics without bending the product.

Cons

No service or ticketing side
