WordPress CRM Plugin – WP-CRM System Plugin

WP-CRM System is a fully featured WordPress CRM that allows you to use the WordPress interface you are already familiar with to manage your customers, projects, and tasks with ease.

Why spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a CRM that charges based on the number of records you have in your database, or the number of users that you have accessing your database? WP-CRM System allows you to have an unlimited number of records and lets you give everyone in your organization access to the WordPress CRM data they need to drive business.

More than a CRM

WP-CRM System allows your team to manage projects, assign individual tasks, track marketing campaigns, and helps convert your opportunities into successes!

Easily import contacts and other records from your old CRM with our easy to use CSV uploader.

Get email updates whenever a project or task you are assigned to is created or edited. Never miss a thing!

Quickly create new contacts from existing users on your site with just one click. The plugin will take existing information (name, email address, etc.) from the user’s account and add it to the new contact in WP-CRM System.

Assists with GDPR compliance
WP-CRM System has optional features, which can assist with GDPR compliance if that is something your business requires. Please note that this plugin does not guarantee GDPR compliance as no plugin can provide 100% compliance. Compliance requires actions on the part of your business that this plugin cannot provide.

Available features include a way for your contacts to view the data that is stored on them in WP-CRM System, the ability for your contacts to export that data, and the ability for contacts to request that their data be deleted.
