Problem

SMEs do not fail because leads are missing. They fail because follow-up is scattered.

Customer information sprawls across WhatsApp, Excel sheets, website forms, Instagram DMs, and personal inboxes. Follow-ups depend on memory. Managers only discover missed opportunities after the deal is already lost. Existing CRMs are either too heavy, too expensive, or built for enterprise workflows SMEs will never use.

  • Fragmented lead capture

  • No intelligence layer
With EKANIX
  • One unified lead inbox
  • AI-driven priority + reminders
  • Kanban pipeline visibility
  • Live dashboards & reports
  • Human-in-the-loop AI assist

Quality Gates
  • Is the lead source captured and tagged?
  • Is there a single owner assigned?
  • Does every lead have a next action + due date?
  • Are AI scores explainable, not black-box?
  • Is human review required for AI drafts?
  • Are win/loss reasons logged on close?

Revenue Opportunity

For an SME running 200 – 400 leads/month, recovering just the leads currently lost to missed follow-ups typically unlocks a 15 – 25% conversion lift — with no extra ad spend.

Risks

A CRM only works if the sales team actually uses it.

Sales team resists new CRM

MitigationMinimal-click UX, mobile-friendly, and 30-second lead updates so daily use feels lighter than WhatsApp.

AI hallucinates summaries

MitigationSource-linked summaries, confidence labels, human review before send, and feedback capture.

Integration complexity

MitigationKeep WhatsApp/email/telephony as post-MVP. Start with copy/export workflows in V2.0.

Scope creep into ERP

MitigationV2.0 stays focused on sales CRM outcomes. HR, finance, and inventory are out of scope.

Craft

More than a CRM. A sales discipline system.

Problem Discovery

Built from watching SMEs lose revenue not from lack of leads, but from scattered follow-up across WhatsApp, Excel, and personal inboxes.

Product Methodology

Human-in-the-loop AI, action-over-storage principle, and manager visibility as first-class product goals.

AI Thinking

AI is used where it removes friction — scoring, summaries, drafts, alerts — never as an autonomous sales agent closing deals unsupervised.
