Hello all!
I have a question for everyone regarding CRM software... Specifically confusion with pricing... I understand software can be as arbitrarily priced as the company producing it wants it to be but am confused about pricing for replacing our current software.
Right now this company uses Sage Act 2012 for managing our customer contact information, tracking sales calls, emails, conventions, etc. We use EFI Logic to manage almost our entire business. We use it to manage POs, accounting information, job information (we are a job shop), shipping information, track employee time, and more. Both of these are outdated and we are researching a replacement, ideally one program to replace both.
Before I started here my manager had reached out to a handful of companies to get some basic quotes for what it would cost for their software. Specifically, she liked what she saw from CRC, their software Nucleus. She said she likes what they offer, and the functionality and has enjoyed speaking with them. The price quote they gave us was around 70k https://www.findmycrm.com/industries/crm-for-manufacturers, however, the other companies she spoke with were quoting in the neighborhood of 300k. This drastic difference in pricing raises concern, especially in regards to is the price truly a reflection of quality.
