A CRM is not a task list for the sales team but the institutional memory of the customer relationship. The need becomes obvious when a sales rep leaves and the customer history leaves with them.
The core design decision: the customer account is one record. The CRM keeps no separate customer list; it uses the same identity as the ERP account. With two lists, the merging work never ends.
Opportunities move through defined stages, and each transition is recorded with a date. That answers "how many days from first contact to quote" and "how long do quotes sit". For lost deals the reason is chosen from a closed list; free text produces no analysis.
Quotes are versioned. A revision does not overwrite the previous version, and which version was sent when is recorded. Price disputes end there.
ERP (accounts, orders, invoices), e-mail, the dealer portal, field sales tracking, bank integration for payment status, and web forms.
An off-the-shelf CRM covers most needs. The difference appears when you need a shared customer record with the ERP, industry-specific quoting logic (bills of material, configuration, tolerances) or data exchange with your existing systems. For standard needs we recommend a packaged product, and we say so at the start of the project.
An unused CRM produces no data. What works in practice is reducing the number of fields and putting the parts that help the seller first: quote generation, visible price history, reminders.
As many as you can measure. The more stages, the weaker the entry discipline. Five or six is enough for most B2B sales processes.
