I want to share with you the main reasons our clients are moving to Crust, the Open-Source Low-Code Platform with CRM suite.

Our clients come from every sector and every industry. Some are looking for a CRM for the first time, and others want to move from their current CRM (mainly Salesforce). We always ask them what attracted them to us in the first place. What are the key requirements?

Why do clients choose Crust?

  • Low-Code
    The Low-Code development platform allows you to create new modules and advanced automation efficiently with ease.
     
  • Salesforce Alternative:
    Crust offers you similar functionality but at a lower price. The CRM Suite also gives more control, freedom of choice. You may have the additional requirement that you need full control over your data. Crust is the private cloud answer to the Salesforce public cloud.
     
  • Open-Source:
    With 100% ownership and no vendor lock-in. You don’t want to learn the hard way what experiencing vendor lock-in means. Better choose ownership and freedom going forward.
     
  • Scalability:
    You will want to make sure that the solution you choose will grow with your company, and will still work for many years down the line. So, this means no moving to another solution for quite some time. Clients of Crust like that the Crust CRM Suite is the “Golang CRM“. Google, Netflix, Uber, Twitter, and many others use Golang because it scales excellently.
     
  • Integrations:
    You will like that Crust can easily integrate with other systems and applications they use. With its API oriented nature, Crust is extensible & flexible.
     
  • Price:
    Of course, costs are now more critical than ever, and you need to keep costs as low as possible. So, solutions with a lower price will catch your attention. We know nobody decides on price alone, but competitive costs can help you speed up an internal sign-off.

Scalable, Cost-Effective, Flexible, and Under Your Control

After engaging with the team at Crust Technology, our customers tell us the main reasons they decided to go with Crust is because we deliver on what we say we can do and more! They tell us they like that we listen to what they need and work closely with them to provide a solution that will work well for them for many years to come. A scalable solution, cost-effective, flexible and that you truly own.
