Custom CRM for a Pharma Manufacturing Company

Project Overview

The pharmaceutical company faced challenges with disjointed communication tools and lacked real-time analytics for their highly specialized sales and outreach processes.

We developed a custom CRM from the ground up using Next.js and PostgreSQL, hosted on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The system integrates seamlessly with internal emails and calendars and provides a beautiful, high-performance UI using ShadcnUI. This modern architecture completely replaced their previous fragmented software stack, unifying their entire operation under one highly secure and compliant platform designed specifically for pharmaceutical sales cycles.

Next.js & ShadcnUI Frontend

Built a highly responsive, accessible, and visually stunning user interface using Next.js and ShadcnUI, significantly improving user adoption among the sales team. The custom components were designed to present complex medical trial data and sales metrics in an easily digestible format.

Email & Calendar Integration

Implemented bidirectional sync with corporate email and calendar providers, allowing users to manage their entire workflow without leaving the CRM. This automation drastically reduced manual data entry and ensured no crucial client interactions slipped through the cracks.
