FAQ
CRM implementation costs
CRM project budget
What does a CRM implementation cost?
A standard CRM for a small sales team is live from EUR 8,000–20,000 excl. VAT including configuration and training. Odoo CRM with ERP coupling or custom solutions with migration from a legacy system typically run EUR 25,000–80,000. User count and data migration drive the budget.
Standard CRM, Odoo or custom solution?
HubSpot or Pipedrive win on speed for straightforward sales processes. Odoo CRM pays off when ERP, invoicing and inventory should live in one system. Custom CRM is worth it for industry-specific processes that standard tools force into workarounds.
What does data migration from Excel or a legacy CRM cost?
Excel lists with clean structure migrate cheaply. Legacy CRMs with activity history, documents and custom fields need mapping, deduplication and test runs – often 20–30% of the project budget. Budget it explicitly, not as an afterthought.

Rollout & adoption
How long does a CRM rollout take?
Standard CRMs are productive in 2–6 weeks. Odoo with ERP coupling or custom solutions typically need 2–4 months including migration and training. The critical path is usually data quality, not software.
How do I ensure the team actually uses the CRM?
Configure around the existing sales process instead of forcing a new one, migrate history so reps find their accounts, automate data entry where possible (email sync, telephony) and train per role. Adoption failures are process failures, rarely tool failures.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
