The familiar challenges of IT consultants
On one side, enterprise sales that take months; on the other, support messages that can't wait a minute — and both land on the same phone.
Six-month sales cycles go untracked
On the enterprise side, a decision takes three meetings, two revisions and one budget approval. Meeting notes are in a notebook, the latest status is in the sales rep's head; by the time someone remembers "we were going to follow up with that company," the tender has long gone to someone else.
Urgent support messages pour in from every channel
When a server goes down, the customer messages on WhatsApp, calls on the phone and has their manager send an email — all at once. When requests aren't gathered in one list, two technicians rush to the same job, and another customer's outage slips by in the noise.
Contract renewals slip by unnoticed
The end dates of annual maintenance and license contracts sit in a spreadsheet, but nobody looks at the spreadsheet. When the date passes, the service continues without a contract; the customer says "you're already looking after us," and you lose leverage in the renewal negotiation.
Quotes and POC processes scattered across email
The discovery report is in one file, the quote is in another thread, the POC results are in a slide deck. Which version of which quote is current, which line item the customer objected to — the answers are searched for in the email archive, and the close rate can't be measured.
Field work lives in people's memory
Installations, on-site maintenance and remote support jobs are mentioned on the phone and forgotten. Who is at which customer today, which job is promised for tomorrow — it's not clear; clashing appointments reach the customer as "our technician couldn't make it."
Customer knowledge held by one person
Which server, which software, which special agreement at which customer — it has all been in the head of the technician who has looked after them for years. When that person goes on leave, work slows down; when they leave the company, the customer history goes with them.
What does ÖzgürKod do for IT and technology consulting?
Manage both long sales cycles and the daily support scramble in the same panel, all on record.
The customer journey from first contact to contract renewal
- Set up your enterprise sales pipeline with your own stages: Discovery → POC → Quote → Management Approval → Contract; opportunities that sit idle too long stand out in the overdue items view
- Let AI classify and highlight urgent failure messages; turn the request into a task card in one click, assign it to a technician, and track your SLA promise with checklists and due date notifications
- Record the end dates of annual maintenance and license contracts in payment tracking. Upcoming and overdue renewals are listed in the report, and you can send the quote with a template in one click
- Send the discovery report and quote as PDF; track them through the Sent → Revised → Approved flow, and work in USD and EUR alongside TRY on hardware line items
- Distribute customer messages across the team with round-robin; with "team members see only their own customers" permission and role-based access, every customer's history stays in the company, on record
- Ask in plain language: "how many support requests came from which customer this month, which opportunities have been waiting three weeks" — AI brings the agenda to you with daily and weekly summaries
Requests from web forms, Meta Lead Forms or WhatsApp become cards with a source tag; duplicate protection keeps the same company from splitting into two records, and the temperature tag shows priority.
The meeting is scheduled with an online appointment page and Google Calendar sync; AI conversation analysis extracts the needs summary, intent and estimated value.
Discovery findings and POC steps move forward as checklists on task cards; reports and diagrams are collected with file attachments on the customer card.
Hardware, license and service line items are turned into a PDF quote; choose TRY, USD or EUR, and track the Sent → Revised → Approved flow in the panel.
The setup project is planned on the task board: field days on the calendar, sub-steps in the checklist, and the delivery date kept on track with notifications.
Failure and request messages are collected in a unified inbox; AI highlights the urgent ones, tasks are assigned to technicians, and every intervention is recorded in the customer history.
Contract end dates appear in payment tracking; the cross-sell report shows extra service opportunities such as backup and security, and the engagement report shows customers who have gone quiet.
Not from a personal phone, but from the business line
Don't let Customer messages get lost on employees' phones; the line belongs to the business, the history belongs to the CRM.
In minutes with a QR code, or with the official WhatsApp Cloud API. You can keep using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone and connect the same number to the CRM at the same time (coexistence).
The chatbot answers common questions and collects customer information; a member of your team takes over the conversation whenever you want.
Send an announcement or reminder to the customer group you choose with a Meta-approved template; see how many people it reached and how many read it.
Auto-reply to a “price?” comment on your post and send the details by DM; the person who commented also lands in the inbox.
Don't track everything yourself; let it tell you what matters
It reads messages, surfaces who is waiting for a reply and what's at risk, and starts your day with a summary.
Know who to get back to first
- Message analysis: urgency, satisfaction, buying intent and risk; complaints and urgent requests are separated.
- Awaiting reply: unanswered conversations and messages requesting an appointment in one list.
- Today's tasks: a short morning summary showing who you need to follow up with that day.
- Ask a question: type questions like “How many new customer came in this month?” and get answers from your data.
AI features run on accounts with AI analysis turned on; when it's off, messages, appointments and follow-ups run on rules.

What should you look for when choosing a CRM for IT consulting?
Before you decide, evaluate your candidates against these 5 criteria.
5 criteria
- A module ready for your industry. Instead of adapting a generic CRM for months IT consulting choose a system that is ready on day one for your workflow (record fields, tags, reminder templates).
- WhatsApp and Instagram integration. In Turkey customer most communication comes through WhatsApp and Instagram; a CRM that does not offer a unified inbox through the official API leaves half the work outside.
- Automatic reminders and follow-up. Appointment, payment and repeat reminders should live in the system, not in memory; every missed reminder is lost revenue.
- Turkish-language support and TL pricing. Dollar-based foreign tools carry exchange rate risk and an English-only support barrier; TL pricing and Turkish-language setup support make total cost predictable.
- Free trial and cancellation without commitment. Try it with your own data before you decide: choose a solution that requires no credit card, offers at least a 7-day free trial and can be canceled whenever you want.
IT consulting program, software or CRM?
Most business owners search for the solution they need as “IT consulting program,” “IT consulting software,” “IT consulting job tracking software” or “IT consulting customer management software.” “CRM” is the international name for this solution, and the need is the same: keep customer information in one place, never miss a request, and bring order to your work.
As a IT consulting automation, ÖzgürKod gathers customer messages from WhatsApp, Instagram and the web in one panel and handles quote and payment collection tracking on the same screen. We also cover industry-independent selection criteria in our CRM software selection guide.

What is CRM for in IT consulting?
It manages two different paces in the same panel. On the sales side, enterprise deals that last months move through pipeline stages; meeting notes, quotes and revisions build up on the customer card, and pending opportunities stand out in the overdue items view. On the operations side, failure messages land in the unified inbox, turn into task cards and are assigned to technicians. Contract end dates sit in payment tracking. In short, neither long sales cycles nor urgent failures slip through the cracks.
How do I track an enterprise sales process that lasts months?
You set up pipeline stages to match your own process: for example Discovery → POC → Quote → Management Approval → Contract. Each opportunity card holds the correspondence history, meeting notes and quote versions; AI summarizes long conversations and identifies the customer's objection category. Opportunities that have sat idle for a long time are listed in the overdue items view; "we were going to get back to that company" is entrusted to the panel, not to memory. You also measure your close rate with a period-over-period report.
How do I manage support requests covered by an SLA?
A failure message from WhatsApp, Telegram or web chat lands in the inbox; AI classifies the message as urgent or a complaint and highlights it. You turn the request into a task card in one click, assign it to a technician, and track your response promise with due date notifications; outside business hours, a chatbot gives the first response and hands the conversation over to the on-call person. An honest note: ÖzgürKod is not a network monitoring or ITSM tool; it does not generate alerts, it organizes customer communication and task tracking.
Does the system automatically remind me about contract renewals?
No messages go out to customers automatically; let's be honest about that, control stays with you. Here is what the system does: the end date and amount of every contract are logged for payment tracking; upcoming and overdue renewals are listed in a report, shown as alerts on the dashboard, and due-date notifications for tasks work for you. You send the renewal quote yourself in one click with a Meta-approved template. There is no online payment collection; tracking stays complete through partial payments and payment receipt records.
Is customer information lost when staff change?
No. This is exactly where a CRM's role as institutional memory comes in. Each customer's message history, completed work, quote and contract records, and file attachments stay on the customer record as company property. When a new technician opens the record, they take over the history within minutes. With role-based permissions, you decide who sees what; the "staff see only their own customers" setting separates portfolios, while managers see everything. On the KVKK (Turkey's personal data protection law) side, access is logged.
How do I track team workload and performance?
Incoming messages are distributed to reps in turn via round-robin; tasks move forward in board, list or card view with a clear owner. Overdue work is gathered in a single view. The rep performance report shows who closed how many conversations and finished how many tasks on time; a weekly AI summary pulls the agenda together. In natural language, you can ask "which customer sent the most requests this week" and get an answer without waiting for a report.
IT consulting software and CRM the same thing? Which one is ÖzgürKod?
In practice they describe the same need. Businesses usually search for "IT consulting software", "IT consulting software", "IT consulting job tracking software“ or “customer management software”; “CRM” is this solution is the international name. ÖzgürKod delivers all of these names on one platform: customer communication, appointments, quotes and orders, payment collection and reporting are all in one place. So whatever term you search with, the solution you reach is the same; you don’t need to set up separate software.
