Why Are Companies Building Their Own ERP Systems Instead of Using Famous CRMs?

More companies are choosing to build custom ERP systems rather than relying on popular CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot. Why? Because custom ERPs offer advantages that off-the-shelf solutions can’t match.

Tailored to Your Needs

CRMs are designed for a wide audience, meaning they may not fully fit your specific business processes. A custom ERP can be built to align perfectly with how your business operates, with no unnecessary features or workarounds.

Long-Term Savings

CRMs often come with high monthly subscription fees and added costs as you scale. While building a custom ERP requires an upfront investment, it eliminates recurring costs and gives you full ownership of the system.

Full Control Over Your Data

With CRMs, your data lives on third-party servers, which can raise security concerns. A custom ERP ensures your data stays secure and fully under your control, helping with compliance and peace of mind.

Flexibility and Growth

Businesses grow and evolve, but CRMs can have limitations or costly upgrades. A custom ERP grows with you, letting you add new features and integrations as needed, without restrictions.

Everything in One System

CRMs often only manage customer-related tasks. Custom ERPs bring everything—finance, HR, logistics—into one platform, improving efficiency and collaboration across all departments.
