A Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) based on the Django Admin.

Django-CRM

(Customer Relationship Management)

The use of CRM by companies allows them to improve the sales performance of their products and services. The more complex and time-consuming the sales process, the greater the improvement.
This CRM is designed for individual use by any company. Access to the company's business data remains solely under its control.

Django CRM is an open-source Django-based project. It is written in Python (python crm). Frontend and backend are almost entirely based on the Django Admin site. CRM uses adaptive Admin HTML templates out-of-the-box. Django is an excellently documented framework with lots of examples. The documentation on the Admin site takes up only one web page.
The original idea is that since Django Admin is already a professional object management interface with a flexible permissions system for users (view, change, add, and delete objects), all you need to do is create models for the objects (such as Leads, Requests, Deals, Companies, etc.) and add business logic.

All this ensures:

• significantly easier project customization and development;
• simpler project deployment and production server support.

The project code is stable (has been in practical use for many years).

Email client

There is a built-in Email client using SMTP and IMAP protocols. Among other things, this allows the Django CRM to automatically save a copy of all correspondence for each request and deal in its database. Even if the correspondence was carried out in the user’s mail account (out of the CRM). The ticket mechanism is used for this.

CRM is able to work with email accounts protected by two-factor authentication, like gmail.
