Why We Built SoCRM: A CRM Platform That Works the Way You Do

When we first set out to build SoCRM, we weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel - we were trying to fix it.


Over the years, we’d seen too many businesses struggle with CRM systems that were either too complex, too expensive, or too disconnected from the way they actually worked. Sales teams were buried in admin. Project managers were juggling spreadsheets. Customer service teams were stuck in silos. And leadership? They were flying blind.


We knew there had to be a better way.

The Problem with Traditional CRM Platforms


Let’s be honest: most customer relationship management platforms are built for the vendor, not the user. They’re bloated with features you don’t need, locked behind pricing tiers you can’t justify, and require months of configuration before you see any value.


Worse still, they often sit outside the tools your team already uses - creating more friction, not less.



So We Built SoCRM


SoCRM was born from a simple idea: what if your CRM worked the way your team already does?


Built natively on Microsoft 365, SoCRM is designed to feel familiar from day one. It lives inside the tools your team already uses - Outlook, Teams, SharePoint - so adoption is natural, not forced. And because it’s built on the Microsoft Power Platform, it’s flexible enough to grow with you.


We didn’t just want to build a CRM. We wanted to build a platform that connects your entire customer journey - from first contact to final invoice.
