Custom CRM and sales automation for SMEs in Quebec

Generic CRMs often impose their own logic on Quebec SMEs, which end up bending their process to the tool — or abandoning it. IA² builds a CRM around how you actually sell and follow up with customers, then automates your commercial cycle.

Context

When a generic CRM does not fit your SME

A generic — or poorly configured — CRM often forces a process that is not yours. The result: leads and quotes still live in spreadsheets and inboxes, follow-ups depend on memory, and nobody has a reliable view of the next commercial action.

We start from your real commercial cycle before configuring or building anything. The solution depends on your process, your existing tools, your volume, your roles, your integrations and your business rules — not on a standard template.

Control and safeguards

Permissions, history and traceability

Your customer data stays yours. Role-based permissions define who sees and edits what, and every change is traceable — the CRM records history rather than overwriting it.

Automations keep human validation on sensitive actions. We describe integrations honestly: those available through an API, those to build custom, and the constraints of closed systems.

FAQ

Custom CRM questions from Quebec SMEs

Is this an off-the-shelf product?

No. Configuration or development depends on your process, your tools, your volume, your roles, your integrations and your business rules.

Do we have to replace our current tools?

Not necessarily. We first assess whether your existing tools can become the base, better connected to your emails and forms.

Can you migrate our data?

Yes. A migration from your spreadsheets or current CRM is part of the implementation.

Is it suited to SMEs?

Yes. That is exactly our focus: SMEs that want a CRM that follows their process, not the other way around.

How long does implementation take?

It depends on your process and integrations. We do not set a timeline without a prior analysis.
