Custom CRM can double your business productivity, boost sales, and reduce lead cost by up to 25%

That’s exactly what our client’s company got after we built a CRM system for them. 

Before custom CRM, they used a couple of standalone solutions for sales, marketing and management. This caused data silos, human mistakes and inefficiencies. 

To help our client deal with those challenges, we built an all-in-one solution and selected the best: 

- TOOLS for deal, finance, and document management
- INTEGRATIONS with the management and accounting tools 
- DESIGN with simple onboarding + navigation 
- FEATURES like 360-degree view and multi-level reporting 

In 9 months, the CRM system was ready to use! 

Our client’s company tested it and was very satisfied with how it boosted employee productivity. 

Just check out the full case study: https://lnkd.in/eQc9CeVD  

And DM me if you want to build a CRM that will empower your business.

Using legacy fintech apps costs you more than you think - and not just financially.

If we take performance and innovation, you’re likely dealing with: 

- messy codebase slowing down updates and scalability
- poor UX affecting adoption and conversions
- security and compliance risks 
- incompatibility with modern tools and systems

And these are just a few of the problems legacy apps quietly create every day.

They drain your resources, limit your growth, and steal your competitive advantage. 

Worst of all, they even make you lose users that are hard to acquire and keep.

So let me ask you: which limitation of your legacy fintech app impacts your business the most right now?

Vote to let me know.

Modernizing a legacy product is always about unlocking new business opportunities. And I can prove this. 

After modernization, our clients from diverse companies observed how: 

- maintenance costs decreased by up to 35% 
- conversion rates improved by 2x
- the number of customers and sales doubled
- performance and operations became 100% stable  

Modernization doesn’t just fix productivity and technical issues, it creates room for growth and scalability. 

And every modernization journey starts with a single outcome that matters the most right now for your team and your business.

So I’m curious - what outcome would you name the most important?

When it comes to CRM systems, there is no one-size-fits-all.

The thing is that very few CRMs available on the market can match a company’s: 

- level of flexibility, automation, and integration 
- unique workflows across teams and departments
- need for real-time data accuracy
- growth plans that demand easy scaling

That’s why the development of a custom CRM is no longer seen by companies as an unnecessary expense. 

In most cases, it’s an investment in the future. 

A CRM tailored to specific business needs and requirements is a game-changer. It doubles productivity and gives teams the tools that finally work for them, not against them.

Are there any benefits making you think about the development of a custom CRM this year?

Using legacy ERP systems holds back 70% of enterprises worldwide. So why don’t they modernize? 

Mostly because it’s not the need that’s unclear - it’s the HOW.

There are so many aspects that seem challenging for enterprise decision-makers. 

Quite often, they can’t decide: 

- what strategy and approach it’s better to choose 
- how to make modernization cost-effective 
- what tech experts they need and where to find them
- how to modernize without disrupting current processes  

And this list of challenges can go on and on, overwhelming enterprises. 

But despite all concerns, I know that some businesses initiated product modernization in 2025. 

Are you one of them? And what part of product modernization do you consider challenging?

Feature-rich ERP system can boost your business in so many ways by giving you: 

- improved integration capabilities 
- 2x higher efficiency and long-term cost savings
- flexibility in introducing new processes and departments
- ability to adapt business to changing client and market needs

In 2025, more enterprises are finally revising their ERPs and deciding if they help to meet their current goals. 

The thing is that most ready-made ERPs used by enterprises work great at the start. 

But as your company grows, you start noticing that your ERP lacks something and offers “workarounds” instead of real automation. 

And when it comes to custom ERP development, most enterprises struggle with: 

- selecting the right tech stack 
- choosing proper modules for their processes
- combining usability and intuitive design 

That’s when teams like Artkai come to the rescue. Having built many complex ERP systems, we learned a lot. 

And now this knowledge is packed into this expert post: https://lnkd.in/eDgX6tqf

- how to minimize disruption and costs 

Luckily, we have an expert guide able to help you with everything: https://lnkd.in/eytzeHCb

1. ENCAPSULATION - extending app functionality via APIs 
2. REHOSTING -  redeploying app components to other infrastructure 
3. REFACTORING - restructuring and optimizing code 
4. REARCHITECTING - restructuring app's core to enable scalability, microservices
5. REDESIGN - changing UX to address core usability issues 

Each of these strategies offers a different approach to dealing with legacy challenges. 

While modernizing enterprise apps, my team often uses a combination of strategies. 

This helps us to deliver meaningful changes that are time and cost-effective. 

And the selection of the strategies always depends on your specific goals, current legacy system limitations, business priorities and challenges.

Discover Real Fintech App Development Cost | Artkai 🚀

The secret to attracting thousands of monthly active users is in:

- making your fintech app user-centric 
- making it optimized for mobile devices 
- adding a range of features users really need
- taking care of intuitive onboarding and navigation

That’s exactly what we did for our client and helped their personal finance app attract 12K MAU. 

Our client came to us with an idea to build a new app for younger users. 

The client had a well-thought-out list of features like integration with multiple banks, budgeting and finance tools, savings and investment options. 

And while the feature list was incredible, it should be wrapped up in a first-class design to engage and retain users. 

And that’s when our team came to the rescue and created:

- an intuitive and gamified UI/UX 
- lightweight flows and engaging visuals

That’s exactly what younger age groups prefer in finance applications. 

And the results speak for themselves. 

You can read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/di9-vMC8

Some businesses still believe that AI-accelerated design = cheap and ineffective shortcuts 

When in fact, using AI in design is a game-changer! 

Here are what benefits it brings to the table for businesses with digital products: 

- more clarity and better design options
- data-based design decisions, not guesswork 
- faster design iterations and product delivery 
- design that looks incredible, feels intuitive and converts better

But that’s possible only when you use AI right, like my team does. 

We use AI to speed up UX audits, exploration of user needs, and presentation preparations.

However, designers are left in control of all decisions and craft. 

In our company, AI doesn’t replace the human touch - it just amplifies it.

Heuristic checks, concept exploration, and market trends mapping can be sped up due to generative AI. 

Apart from the speed, it helps to gather deeper insights. All those insights are then turned into user personas, smarter UI flows, and user-centric design. 

That’s what AI-accelerated, not AI-replaced, truly means. 

And what do you think about this approach?

When your business grows but its operational efficiency drops, you need a custom solution able to: 

- centralize data management
- automate critical workflows
- improve customer experience 
- streamline adherence to industry regulations

We built such a solution for one of our clients and helped them achieve drastic productivity results. 

It was a feature-rich testing management platform tailored to meet manufacturing needs. 

Our client’s company lacked this solution and struggled with data silos, manual-driven processes, and scalability issues. 

We spent 10 months designing and developing a complex solution with 6 first-class features. 

Our team selected a modern tech stack, industry-specific design, and ensured compliance with all industry standards. 

Result? 

Almost all manual-driven processes were automated, and all business data was finally accessible and manageable. 

Just take a look at the picture below to see the outcomes in numbers. 

If you lack a solution able to boost your business efficiency, DM me and let’s talk about it.
