A CRM that fits your business — not the other way around.

We build custom CRM and database platforms around how your organisation actually works: your pipeline, your data model, your rules. No per‑seat licensing, no features you'll never touch, and total ownership of the system and the data inside it.

Custom CRM platforms.
You own the code and the data.

Bespoke CRM and line‑of‑business databases modelled on your real workflows — role‑based access, audit trails, reporting and integrations built in. Off the per‑seat treadmill, off the rigid template.

When a custom CRM earns its keep.

Off‑the‑shelf is the right call for plenty of teams. These are the signs you've outgrown it.

01

You're paying per‑seat for software your team only half‑uses — and the bill climbs every time you hire.

02

Your real process lives in spreadsheets and inboxes beside the CRM, because the CRM can't model it.

03

You need data to stay in your control — for clients, regulators, or simple peace of mind.

04

You've hit the wall where every change needs a paid add‑on, a consultant, or a workaround.

What we build in.

A spine of features every JW Web CRM gets, then whatever your workflow actually needs on top.

01 / Data model
Your entities, your relationships
We design the schema around your business — custom objects, fields and links — instead of bending you into someone else's "contacts & deals".
02 / Access
Role‑based permissions & audit trails
Granular roles, record‑level access, and a full history of who changed what and when. Built for teams that answer to regulators.
03 / Pipelines
Workflow & automation
Stages, tasks, reminders and rules that mirror how work really moves — not a generic sales funnel.
04 / Reporting
Dashboards on your metrics
Reports and KPIs you define, drawn straight from your live data. No exporting to a spreadsheet first.
05 / Integrations
Talks to your other tools
Accounting, email, telephony, payment and bespoke APIs — connected directly, no brittle middleware.
06 / Migration
Brings your history with you
We migrate from spreadsheets, Salesforce, HubSpot or a legacy database — cleaned, mapped and verified.

How a CRM build runs.

Same five steps as everything we do — mapped here to a CRM engagement.

01 / PLAN

Map the workflow

We sit with the people who'll use it, document how work actually flows, and agree the data model before any code.

02 / DESIGN

Schema & screens

Entity relationships, permissions matrix and the interface — drawn up and signed off as a working prototype.

03 / BUILD

Write & migrate

We build the platform and migrate your existing data in parallel, so you launch with your full history intact.

04 / LAUNCH

Roll out carefully

Phased rollout, training for your team, monitoring and a rollback plan. Quiet launches are good launches.

05 / MAINTAIN

Grow it with you

New modules, new integrations, new reports — added on a retainer as the business changes.

Built on boring, durable tech.

We favour well‑understood tools that we can still open and extend in ten years. Multi‑tenant where you need it, secured properly, hosted by us or by you.

CRM questions.

The ones we're asked most before a build starts.

Isn't a custom CRM more expensive than Salesforce?

+

Higher up front, lower over time. There are no per‑seat licences, so cost doesn't scale with headcount, and you're not paying for modules you never open. Most clients find the build pays for itself within two to three years versus escalating subscriptions.

Can you migrate our existing data?

+

Yes — from spreadsheets, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho or a legacy database. We map fields, clean duplicates, and verify record counts before go‑live so nothing is lost in the move.

Will it integrate with our accounting / email / phone system?

+

Almost always. If a tool exposes an API we can connect to it directly. Where there's no API, we'll find the most robust route rather than a fragile screen‑scrape.

What about security and compliance?

+

Role‑based access, encryption, audit logging and proper data isolation are standard. For regulated sectors we build to the requirements you're held to and document it for your auditors.

Who hosts it?

+

Your choice — our managed infrastructure, or your own cloud account. Either way you hold the keys.
