Description
One Edition — Everything Included
SME CRM ships as a single, fully-loaded edition — no feature gating between “Starter” and “Pro” tiers. Every licence gets full pipeline automation, global payment gateways, AI deal insights, white-label branding, and the client portal from day one.
SME CRM is the only CRM built from the ground up for how growing businesses actually sell and get paid — global payment gateways, a privacy-first data model, and a client portal, running on infrastructure the business already owns, not another monthly SaaS seat.
Top 5 Reasons Businesses Choose SME CRM
- Privacy-first, not bolted on. Consent, withdrawal, and erasure are designed in as core data fields from day one, not a plugin add-on — built to support GDPR, CCPA, and POPIA, with fully automated (scheduled) erasure workflows shipping next; manual erasure is already available today. No mainstream global CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) offers this level of built-in compliance tooling out of the box.
- Global payment gateways, one invoice screen. Stripe and PayPal cover most of the world, with regional options — Paystack, PayFast, and Yoco — for businesses that need them. All generate real payment links directly from a quote or invoice.
- WhatsApp is a first-class channel, live today. Two-way WhatsApp messaging via the Meta Cloud API — send and receive — is logged straight into each lead’s timeline, meeting customers on the channel they actually use.
- AI-powered deal insights. Claude-backed risk flagging (“this deal is going cold, here’s why”) and next-best-action suggestions, on demand, per lead.
- Reseller-ready white-labeling. An agency or consultant can rebrand it entirely as their own product and resell it, with per-domain licensing already built in.
1. Built for How Businesses Actually Sell, Wherever They Are
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Privacy-first data model — consent, withdrawal & erasure fields (manual erasure live today; fully automated erasure workflows in development) | A direct compliance story built to support GDPR, CCPA, and POPIA — a real risk-reduction argument for any business collecting personal data |
| Multi-currency invoicing with automatic tax calculation | No manual tax math, no currency confusion, wherever your customers are |
| Stripe and PayPal, plus regional gateways (Paystack, PayFast, Yoco) | Covers the payment rails businesses and their customers actually use, globally and locally |
| SMS-powered instant lead alerts | SMS still reaches people when data/WhatsApp doesn’t — a real connectivity backstop in any market |
| WhatsApp Cloud API integration — send, receive, and log to the lead timeline | A dominant business communication channel worldwide, built in from day one, not a bolt-on afterthought |
2. Performance and Cost of Ownership
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Custom database tables, not WordPress Custom Post Types | Real query performance on the budget shared hosting most SMEs actually run — most WP CRM plugins choke here at scale |
| Runs inside the WordPress/WooCommerce site the business already has | No new infrastructure, no separate login, no data silo |
| One-time licence vs. per-seat SaaS pricing | Pay once, then nothing — predictable cost regardless of how many staff use it, and a real argument against Salesforce/HubSpot/Pipedrive per-seat billing |
3. A Complete Revenue Engine, Not Just a Rolodex
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Automatic lead capture from WooCommerce, Gravity Forms/WPForms/CF7, WhatsApp, and an AI chatbot | Leads land in the CRM without anyone typing them in — nothing falls through the cracks |
| Visual drag-and-drop sales pipeline | Sales reps actually use a CRM they can see, not one they have to query |
| Automation engine (trigger → condition → action) | Encodes a business’s actual sales process — status changes, scoring, follow-ups — without a developer |
| Client portal (no-login, branded per reseller) | Clients see live project status, documents, and pay invoices without ever needing an account — a polish level usually reserved for enterprise tools |
| Post-sale delivery tracking (Projects & Documents) | The CRM doesn’t stop at “won” — it covers the whole client relationship, closer to a lightweight PM tool bundled in |
| Segments (reusable saved filters) | The same rule-builder powers both list filtering and automation conditions — one thing to learn, used everywhere |
4. Trust and Security
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| All API keys/credentials encrypted at rest | Meets a basic security bar competitors’ plugins often skip |
| Role-based visibility (Team Access) | A business can scale from solo founder to a team without leads leaking between reps who shouldn’t see them |
| Nonce + capability checks throughout | Standard WordPress security hygiene, done consistently across the plugin’s admin screens |
5. Business-Model Enablers (For Resellers & Agencies)
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Full white-label branding (name, menu label, icon, hidden plugin identity) | An agency can resell this as their own product with zero visible trace of “SME CRM” |
| Per-domain perpetual licensing, enforced | Real, working license gating — not just an honor system — protects the resale business model |
| One-time purchase, perpetual licence | No recurring billing to justify to a client every month — buy once, own it, resell it |
Pricing — One-Time Purchase
Pay once, own it permanently. No subscription, no recurring billing, and no per-seat charges as your team grows. Your licence is enforced per domain and never expires.
Reflects the current shipped build (v0.9.7). Licensing enforcement, payment integrations, and WhatsApp messaging are all live and working today; fully automated privacy-erasure workflows are still in active development — contact us for the current rollout timeline.
