CRMconnect vs Bitrix24: a collaboration platform or an operations platform

The short answer

Bitrix24 is a collaboration platform (chat, tasks, calendar) and CRM, with invoices and inventory documents. CRMconnect is a business operations platform: besides sales, it covers orders, stock and warehouse, invoicing with e-Factura and e-Transport, EDI with retail chains, the B2B portal and couriers. Both gather many functions in one place; Bitrix24 starts from team collaboration, CRMconnect from the order flow, with Romanian e-Factura, EDI and couriers.

Together with Bitrix24

If the team uses Bitrix24 for chat and internal tasks, it can keep it for that, while CRMconnect takes orders, warehouse, invoicing with e-Factura, EDI and couriers. CRMconnect also has projects, tasks and a helpdesk, so a single-platform option is possible.

  • Bitrix24: chat and internal communication.
  • CRMconnect: orders, warehouse, e-Factura, e-Transport, EDI, B2B portal and couriers.
  • Projects and tasks can stay in either; CRMconnect links them directly to customers and orders.

If you want to move everything from Bitrix24

The typical path, without stopping sales.

  1. 1. Export: Export contacts, companies, opportunities and products from Bitrix24 (CSV files or through the API).
  2. 2. Import: The implementation team imports the data into CRMconnect, with duplicate checks and your sign-off.
  3. 3. First module: Start with the pipeline or with orders; the team works in CRMconnect from day one of that module.
  4. 4. Operations: Add stock, invoicing with e-Factura, couriers, EDI or the B2B portal, one at a time.
  5. 5. The ERP: Connect the ERP; full integration usually takes 4-6 weeks.

What fits, when

When Bitrix24 alone is enough

  • You mainly need internal collaboration and a simple CRM.
  • You sell services or projects, with no warehouse and no daily deliveries.
  • You do not work with retail chains through EDI and do not need AWB from the order.

When CRMconnect makes sense

  • You sell physical products, with stock, delivery and invoicing.
  • You work with retail chains through EDI or with distributors through a B2B portal.
  • You have field reps who take orders.
  • You want e-Factura, e-Transport and AWB from the same flow.
