Sales CRM for Gmail and Outlook

A US startup in the sales industry needed its CRM to live where salespeople actually work: inside their email. RemSoft.Dev's team built a family of plugins - Gmail and Chrome, Outlook and Office 365 (cross-platform) - plus native iOS and Android apps, so reps could manage leads, meetings, calls, emails, reminders, opportunities and decision-makers without leaving their inbox. Two web applications completed the product: one mirroring the plugins' functionality, the other delivering analytics and insights on sales performance. The engagement ran for four years with a team of twelve on a hybrid AWS cloud and on-premise infrastructure, with automated testing throughout. By redesigning the UI and UX around fast data entry, the CRM sped up the client's sales processes roughly fourfold.

Key Challenges

Client: Sales-technology startup, USA

Duration: 4 years

Team: 12 - team lead, 3 senior + 5 middle developers, PM, BA, QA

Infrastructure: AWS Cloud & on-premise

The project faced several key challenges:

  • Six surfaces, one product: Gmail, Chrome, Outlook, Office 365, iOS and Android each have their own extension model - the product had to feel identical across all of them.
  • Data entry is the bottleneck: Sales reps abandon CRMs that slow them down. Every screen was designed around capturing a lead, a call or a meeting in seconds.
  • A four-year roadmap: Long-running products need discipline: documentation, code review, automated tests and a stable team that keeps context.

Results

  • Plugins for Gmail, Chrome, Outlook, Office 365
  • Native iOS and Android apps
  • Two web apps: product + sales analytics
  • ~4× faster sales processes
