Best Sales engagement for small manufacturers

Sales CRM for custom quotes and distributor relationships — separate from ERP/MRP.

What we score on

  • RFQ and custom-quote tracking with revisions and approval stages
  • Long pipelines that handle multiple stakeholders and engineering review
  • Distributor and rep relationship management for channel-driven volume
  • Document attachments (specs, drawings, quotes) on the deal record
  • Clean separation from ERP/MRP, with integration rather than duplication
