Office CRM, fully in your control
A CRM made for small offices: contacts, deals, quotes and visitor desk booking in one place. One price for the office, your data on your own server if you want it, and a full export whenever you ask.
Status: in development. Nothing here is on sale yet. The demo below is a concept with made-up sample data, and every feature on this page is planned, not finished.
What we plan to include
Most ideas come from gaps we found when we read the public pricing pages we could reach for five CRMs (Pipedrive's page blocked us and Zoho's hid its paid prices), plus search summaries of public reviews. A few are our own ideas. The small print under each says which.
- C-01Planned
One price for the office, not per seat
Add a new hire or a part-timer without a new licence.
The products in our table list per-user or per-seat pricing (Pipedrive's from third-party sources). monday CRM plans start from 3 seats (monday.com pricing page).
- C-02Planned
Your server or ours
Run it on a server you own, or let us host it. You choose, and you can switch.
Odoo lists on-premise hosting on its Custom plan. We did not see a self-hosted option listed on the other pricing pages we read; Pipedrive's pricing page could not be read.
- C-03Planned
Full data export, plus 2 hours of changes a month
Download every contact, deal, booking and note as CSV files. Up to 2 hours of changes a month included; more at an hourly rate (planned).
Zoho CRM's free plan allows up to 10 exports (Zoho pricing page).
- C-04Planned
API and automations in the base plan
Connect your accounting app or website forms without moving up a tier.
Odoo lists its external API on the Custom plan. monday.com lists an API call allowance only on its Ultimate plan (pricing pages).
- C-05Planned
No required onboarding fee
We plan to include set-up help in the price, not bill it separately.
HubSpot lists a one-time onboarding fee of $1,500 for Sales Hub Professional and $3,500 for Enterprise (HubSpot pricing page).
- C-06Planned
Ready on day one
Pipeline stages, contact fields and an office floor plan come pre-built, so a small team can start the same day.
Setup effort and a steep learning curve come up in search summaries of public reviews for several CRMs.
- C-07Planned
Desk booking linked to contacts
Book a visitor desk or meeting room from a client's card and see the visit on your floor plan.
Our idea: we did not see it on the pages we read for the five products in our table, but we did not check every product or feature.
- C-08Planned
Quotes and invoices with no monthly cap
Send a quote from the deal and turn it into an invoice when it is won.
monday CRM's Basic plan includes 20 quotes or invoices per month (monday.com pricing page).
- C-09Planned
Email and WhatsApp in one place per contact
See every message with a client on their card, whoever on the team answered it.
WhatsApp Business messaging has Meta's own rules and fees, so this part depends on them.
- C-10Planned
Works offline, syncs later
Keep working on a site visit with no signal; changes sync when you are back online.
Our idea, to be tested with real offices.
- C-11Planned
Reports in plain words
A weekly summary that says what changed, in sentences as well as charts, with no add-on.
Weak or manual reporting comes up in search summaries of public reviews for some CRMs.
Pipeline and desks, linked
Move a deal along the pipeline, then book a visitor desk for that contact. The booking appears on the card and on the floor plan.
Drag a card by its :: handle, use the arrow buttons, or focus a card and press the left and right arrow keys.

Pick a contact, then a free desk. Pick their desk again to cancel. Hover or focus a card or a desk to see the link.
Sample data: Contact A to Contact E are made up. Nothing you do here leaves your browser.
What "in your control" means
These are the terms we are designing for. The final version will be written into the agreement before anyone pays.
You keep
- All your records, with a full CSV export at any time.
- On the self-hosted option: the server, its admin login and the database backups.
- The choice to leave: export, cancel, and your data stays with you.
We do
- On the hosted option: run the server, updates and backups.
- Help you move contacts and deals in from a CSV file.
- Publish the full terms and price before launch.
How five CRMs price and package it

Information taken from each vendor's public pages and help articles on 15 November 2026. Plans, prices and limits change. Check each vendor's site before you decide. Cells marked "third-party source" or "not confirmed" could not be read on the vendor's own page; "Not listed on the page we read" means we did not see it there, not that it does not exist. Product names belong to their owners; we have no connection to any of them.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the office CRM today?
Not yet. It is in development, and the demo on this page is a concept with made-up sample data. Contact us if you want to hear when it is ready or to tell us what your office needs.
What does "fully in your control" mean?
The plan is: you choose your own server or ours, you can export every record as CSV files at any time, and on the self-hosted option you hold the server, its admin login and the backups. The exact terms will be written down before anyone pays.
How much will it cost?
$49 per office per month (planned, up to 10 users). The plan is one price for the whole office, not a price per user.
Can I bring my data from another CRM?
We plan a CSV import for contacts, companies and deals. Many CRMs can export these as CSV files; check your current CRM's help pages for how.
How does desk booking work with contacts?
In the concept, you pick a contact and book a visitor desk or room on your floor plan. The booking shows on the contact's card and on the plan, so reception knows who is coming and where they sit. Try it in the demo above.
Are you connected to Odoo, Zoho, HubSpot, Pipedrive or monday.com?
No. We name them only in the comparison table, using facts from their public pages checked on 15 Nov 2026. Prices and plans change, so check each vendor's own site before you decide.
Are the names in the demo real customers?
No. Contact A to Contact E are made-up sample data. The demo runs in your browser and sends nothing to us.
