About 1CRM System 7

1CRM System 7 is one of the first CRM systems to blend top class CRM features with extended business management capabilities for Accounting and ERP, e-Commerce, Project & Resource tracking, Customer Service, and Human Resources. For example, it allows customer-facing personnel to create quotes or invoices quickly for clients, and then synchronize them later into the familiar QuickBooks accounting system for tracking by administrative staff – combining a quick response with a responsible audit trail.

Pricing for 1CRM System 7 is simple compared to other CRM products. System 7 is sold for a one-time On Premise license fee of $270 US per user, which includes mobile access and the Self-Service Portal with eStore (which provides clients with access to automated sales and service 24/7).

An online demo of 1CRM is available on the 1CRM website. A 30-day free trial of the 1CRM Cloud-Hosted service is also available. Customers may then decide to implement 1CRM as On Premise software running on the customer’s own server or at their ISP, or as a Cloud-Hosted service.
