Challenges founders know well

There's no time left for user follow-up after building the product; sign-ups grow but don't convert to payments.

Trial users quietly disappear

They sign up, look around for two days, then never come back. Who was called, who got a demo, who gave up and why — no record. When onboarding goes untracked, a user won with ads leaves for a competitor without a single message being sent.

Support lives in one tool, sales in another

The same user reports a bug in the morning and asks about the team plan at noon; the support conversation is in one place and the sales opportunity in another. When context breaks, the user gets asked the same questions again, and the upgrade signal gets lost in the support stack.

Churn is learned from a cancellation email

There's no way to see that a user hasn't logged in for weeks or is giving cold replies; the first news is the subscription cancellation. When signals aren't caught early, the chance to retain a user is chased only after they walk out the door.

CAC is calculated by guesswork

Budget goes to Meta and sign-ups grow; but nobody knows which campaign brings paying customers and which only collects curious browsers. The CAC figure presented to investors is calculated by hand in a sheet, and nobody fully trusts the number.

Feature requests get lost in DMs

Users send valuable feedback on WhatsApp, Instagram, and web chat; the requests aren't collected in one list. Because the most requested feature isn't known, the roadmap is drawn on instinct, and the question “how many people asked for this” goes unanswered.

The founder handles every conversation alone

DMs at night, demos in the morning, support at noon; everything is on the founder's phone. As the team grows, it's still unclear who talked to which user; when two people give the same user different answers, trust takes a hit.

For SaaS & startups

What does ÖzgürKod do for SaaS and startups?

From sign-up to payment, from support to renewal: follow the entire user lifecycle in one panel.

The user journey from sign-up to renewal

  • Bring web chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram into one unified inbox; every user arrives with a source and campaign label, and support and sales move forward with the same context
  • Set up an onboarding pipeline: Sign-up → Activation → Demo → Quote → Payment; trial users stuck too long in a stage surface in the overdue tasks view
  • Track loyal, dormant, and lost segments in the engagement report; send a check-in message to accounts that have gone quiet with a Meta-approved template in one click
  • See the spend → sign-up → paying customer chain in the Meta Ads ROI Center; measure CAC and CPL by campaign and shift budget to the campaigns that work
  • Let the chatbot give the first answer to common pricing and feature questions; it works 24/7, hands complex questions off to a person, and AI surfaces urgent bug reports
  • Just ask in natural language: “How many demos this week, how many trials converted to paid?” — walk into your team standup with daily and weekly AI summaries
Trial & conversion tracking — ÖzgürKod CRM
1
Enrollment

A user coming from an ad, a web form or a DM becomes a card with its source and campaign tag; with the Meta Lead Forms connection, form submissions land in the panel automatically.

2
First contact

The chatbot answers the first question 24/7; AI classifies messages, surfaces pricing questions and hot users, and conversations are assigned to the team by round-robin.

3
Demo

Demo appointments are scheduled with an online booking page and sync with Google Calendar; the meeting happens over in-app video, and AI pulls out a summary and intent analysis.

4
Quote & plan

The Team plan quote is sent as a PDF, priced in TRY, USD, EUR or GBP, and the Sent → Revised → Approved flow is tracked in the pipeline.

5
Payment & onboarding

The payment record is processed and AI detects the receipt; onboarding steps are distributed to the team with a task checklist, and deadline notifications keep activation on track.

6
Support & usage

Bug reports and questions land in one inbox; AI surfaces urgent messages, feature requests are tagged and collected, and every conversation is recorded in the user's history.

7
Renewal & growth

Subscription due dates are tracked in payment collection; the engagement report shows churn risk, and the cross-sell report shows plan upgrade opportunities.

AI

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 user 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.

No separate tools to set up

Messages, quote, payment collection and your team — in one account

When a user writes, their history, open quote and balance are on the same card. You don't need to make your team install a second app.

Selection guide

What should you look for when choosing a CRM for SaaS & startup?

Before you decide, evaluate your candidates against these 5 criteria.

5 criteria

  1. A module ready for your industry. Instead of adapting a generic CRM for months SaaS & startup choose a system that is ready on day one for your workflow (record fields, tags, reminder templates).
  2. WhatsApp and Instagram integration. In Turkey user 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.
  3. Automatic reminders and follow-up. Appointment, payment and repeat reminders should live in the system, not in memory; every missed reminder is lost revenue.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

SaaS & startup program, software or CRM?

Most business owners search for the solution they need as “SaaS & startup program,” “SaaS & startup software,” “SaaS & startup job tracking software” or “SaaS & startup customer management software.” “CRM” is the international name for this solution, and the need is the same: keep user information in one place, never miss a request, and bring order to your work.

As a SaaS & startup automation, ÖzgürKod gathers user 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can a CRM do for SaaS companies and startups?

It brings the communication side of the user lifecycle into a single panel. Trial users are tracked in the Sign-up → Demo → Payment pipeline; you can see who is at which stage and how many days they have been waiting. Support and sales conversations are combined on the same card, so upgrade signals don't get lost in the support queue. The engagement report shows accounts that have gone quiet, and the ROI Center shows which ad brings in paying customers. You build the product; let every touchpoint with the user be recorded and measurable.

How do I move trial users to paid?

Every sign-up enters the pipeline with a clear stage: users who haven't activated, haven't attended a demo, or have gone silent after a quote each show up separately. Those waiting too long at their stage surface in the overdue view; you send the check-in message with a quick reply template or a segment campaign. AI instantly tags pricing questions and prepares a suggested reply. In the period comparison report, you can track how your trial-to-paid conversion moves month by month.

Can I see churn risk in advance?

An honest answer: ÖzgürKod does not include a model that looks at your usage data and predicts churn. What it does: the engagement report sorts users into loyal, dormant and lost segments; accounts you haven't contacted for a long time or whose messaging has slowed down show up in the list. AI also flags sentiment and complaint signals in conversations. So instead of waiting for the cancellation email, you catch the account going quiet in the report and send a check-in message with a template; the decision and the contact stay with you.

Are automatic messages sent to people whose trial has ended?

No. ÖzgürKod has no scheduled automatic sending; the system does not message anyone on its own. Here's how it works: you separate trial users with tags and segments; you launch the campaign to those whose trial is ending with a Meta-approved WhatsApp template. Duplicate protection prevents double messages to the same person, rate control protects your number, and sending stops automatically if the error rate rises. The timing and content of every send are always your decision.

How do I measure the return on our ad spend (CAC)?

The Meta Ads ROI Center goes beyond the click metrics in the ads panel: which campaign spent what, how many sign-ups it brought in, and how many of those turned into paying customers — CPL and CPA are calculated per campaign. Leads from Meta Lead Forms automatically become cards with their campaign tag; because the payment record is kept in the CRM, the chain is completed with the real customer. You walk into your investor presentation with numbers from the records instead of hand-calculated estimates.

How do we separate support and sales in one panel?

Conversations are distributed to the team with round-robin; with role-based permissions the support team sees its own conversations and the sales team sees its opportunities, and the “team members see only their own customers” setting keeps portfolios separate. Because one user's support and sales history sits on a single card, context is never lost: you can see that a user reporting a bug also has an open upgrade opportunity. The sales rep performance report shows who closed how many conversations and how fast.

SaaS & startup software and CRM the same thing? Which one is ÖzgürKod?

In practice they describe the same need. Businesses usually search for "SaaS & startup software", "SaaS & startup software", "SaaS & startup job tracking software“ or “customer management software”; “CRM” is this solution is the international name. ÖzgürKod delivers all of these names on one platform: user 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.
