Role-Based CRM for Usam
Overview
Usam Concepts, operating under the brand Usam Smart Living™, previously relied on manual record-keeping through notebooks to manage all client leads and activities. This outdated method made it difficult to track progress, assign responsibilities, or measure team performance.
To streamline operations, iBirds Software Services developed a fully customized CRM that enabled Usam Concepts to digitally manage leads, tasks, meetings, and conversions. The new system provided role-based access control, real-time notifications via Socket.IO, advanced reporting, and improved customer response times.
This transformation allowed Usam Concepts to move from manual processes to a scalable, efficient, and data-driven CRM solution.
Technologies Used
Frontend: React.js
Backend: Node.js
Database: PostgreSQL
Deployment: AWS EC2
Real-time Updates: Socket.IO
Key Challenges
- No User Responsibility Mapping – No clear way to track which user was responsible for specific tasks or leads.
- Lack of Reminders & Alerts – Missed follow-ups and meetings due to absence of automated reminders.
- Limited Reporting – Client required advanced filtering and reporting across modules but had no digital solution.
- No Real-Time Visibility – Updates or changes were not visible instantly, causing delays in coordination.
- Manual Record Keeping – The Entire system of lead tracking was paper-based, slowing down operations and creating errors.
