Industry CRM is not a sales pipeline
Print jobs, CA clients, and plots are not generic deals. The record has to match the work.
Generic CRMs assume a deal moves left to right. Printing is a job. A CA firm is a client and a calendar. Real estate is a plot and a visit.
EasyBuild, the printing CRM, and the CA CRM exist because staff would otherwise invent the model in WhatsApp and Excel.
If you can name the object the team actually handles, you can name the product.

WhatsApp is an operating channel
If the conversation does not update the system of record, it is just another inbox.
Custom when SaaS starts fighting you
Buy when the workflow is standard. Build when the workflow is the business.
