When comparing document management solutions, the list of features matters less than what happens to the data afterwards. Below are the native features within CRMconnect and the practical verification criteria for each.
In short
- Entity attachment: link documents to clients, opportunities, orders, contracts, and tickets.
- Versioning with history and active version flagging.
- Role-based viewing and download permissions.
- Search by metadata and document type.
Native features, one by one
Each feature below is available natively within the module, not through external connectors, and operates on the same unified data as the rest of the platform.
- Entity attachment: client, opportunity, order, contract, ticket.
- Versioning with full history and current version markers.
- Role-based viewing and download permissions.
- Search by metadata and document category.
How to verify each feature during a demo
Ask to see the complete end-to-end process, from data entry to the final document. A demo using empty screens tells you nothing about how the system handles your specific data.
- Request a demo for: defining document types and mandatory metadata.
- Request a demo for: setting role-based permissions and retention periods.
- Request a demo for: migrating relevant archives, rather than everything at once.
- Request a demo for: activating access logs for sensitive documents.
Indicators of successful feature adoption
Adoption is measured, not assumed. Monitor these metrics from the first month:
- Documents correctly attached to the relevant entity
- Average time to retrieve a specific document
- Expired documents or those lacking a marked current version
- Access attempts outside assigned roles
Solution evaluation criteria
| Criterion | What to ask for specifically | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Unified Data | The same partner record used across all modules | Eliminates re-entry and discrepancies between departments |
| ERP Synchronisation | Exact document flow to SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Sage | Accounting documents stay in the ERP; CRMconnect keeps commercial and operational documents linked to the same partners. |
| Permissions & Traceability | Logs showing who modified what and when | Essential for internal control and audits |
| Native Reporting | The KPIs listed above, without manual exports | A report built in Excel becomes obsolete immediately |
