Why companies give up on off-the-shelf CRMs
Whether it's Salesforce or a local CRM, many companies adopt one and end up back in spreadsheets. The reasons are similar.
- Your sales stages don't match the CRM's stages, so everything gets forced into the wrong shape
- Per-seat pricing — with a bigger team, the monthly bill quietly runs into the thousands
- You need 10% of it but see 100 screens, so nobody enters anything
- It doesn't speak your industry's language, so training alone takes weeks
A CRM succeeds or fails not on feature count but on whether your staff actually enter data. Built your way, they do.
What goes into a custom CRM — in your company's language
A CRM built by MAEUM follows your company's real flow.
- Your sales stages, as-is — inquiry → consultation → quote → contract, down to the names you use
- Customer timeline — calls, meetings, quotes and contracts accumulate per customer
- Next-step automation — automatic reminders for follow-ups, detection of neglected accounts
- Quote and contract linkage — generate quotes from the CRM, track conversion automatically
- Owner dashboard — pipeline value, conversion rate, receivables
Cost comparison — for a team of five
| Item | Per-seat CRM | MAEUM SaaS | MAEUM Private |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront | None to setup fee | from ₩0 | From ₩2.5M |
| Monthly (5 people) | $25–$150 × 5 | From ₩1M · seats don't matter | None |

| Fits your process | Configuration limits | Fully custom + monthly improvements | Fully custom |
The gap against per-seat pricing widens as you grow. And a custom CRM includes feature consultation and building in the monthly fee, so the CRM follows your business as it changes.

Frequently asked questions
Do I pay per employee?
No. MAEUM has no per-seat pricing. Your fee stays the same as your team grows.
Can you migrate data from our existing CRM or spreadsheets?
Most exportable data can be migrated. The scope depends on whether your current system supports export or an API, which we confirm during scoping.
Our sales process changes often — is that a problem?
With SaaS (managed), it's an advantage. Changes to stages, fields and automations, and new feature builds, are included in the monthly fee.
Does it work on mobile?
It's web-based, so it works on PC and mobile. A simplified screen for field staff is also possible.
Which plan should I start on?
For customer lists and pipeline management, Essential (₩1M/mo). If you want quotes, contracts and automations connected, Premier (₩2.5M/mo). We recommend after seeing your actual workflow during scoping.
