How to customize Keruj for your business model

When a company implements a CRM, it's important not just to "install the system", but to adapt it to its processes. Keruj is not a universal template, but a flexible tool that can work exactly the way your business works: with your own processes, roles, models of interaction, and internal rules. 

This article will help you understand how to customize Keruj to your business needs so that workflows become transparent, logical, and automated. We'll talk about the basic steps, what to pay attention to, and how to make the service convenient for daily work.

Start by defining your business processes

Before opening the CRM, it is important to understand which processes you want to digitize. This is not about the software's functionality — it's about how your sales, order fulfillment, customer interaction, document flow, finances, and task tracking work.

Think about the following questions:

  • How does your customer journey go from first contact to payment?

  • What stages does an order go through?

  • Who is responsible for each stage?

  • What documents need to be created and when?

  • Which tasks are important to monitor regularly?

These answers will serve as a roadmap for setting up your workspace.

Structure setup: departments, roles, and access rights

Once you've defined your processes, move on to the basic settings of your company's structure in the CRM. This is an important step, as it determines who sees what in the company's service and what actions they can perform.

The Keruj documentation has sections on setting up roles, access rights, departments and legal entities, and they allow you to build access logic in accordance with your organization. 

For example:

  • Executives see all key metrics and reports

  • Sales managers — only their customers, deals, tasks

  • Accounting — financial documents and reports, but without the managers' internal tasks

This setup secures data, minimizes human error, and keeps each employee's work focused.

Counterparties, clients, and directories

The next step is setting up the main data directories:

This allows you to build a single database where all information about customers and products is stored in a structured way and linked to processes. 

The correct structure of directories is the foundation for reporting, automated correspondence, task management, making offers, and invoicing.

Sales processes and document flow

Next, the business scenarios you defined at the beginning are configured. In Keruj, each sales stage can be mapped through statuses and augmented with automated scenarios based on defined conditions

This allows you to:

  • keep track of which stage each lead or project is at

  • create documents (commercial offers, invoices, contracts) on time

  • ensure the consistency of the manager's actions

Important: the service does not "force" you to work according to its standard, it mirrors your process if you set it up correctly.

Automation of tasks and scenarios

To make the team work efficiently every day without having to constantly control the process manually, you should set up automatic scenarios and tasks. These are the actions that Keruj will perform for you:

  • reminding the manager about a task

  • changing the status of a deal after payment

  • creating a task after receiving a request

Automation reduces the risk of errors, increases discipline in processes, and allows the team to focus on key actions, not routine tasks

Test and adjust

It's important to remember: setting up any service is not a one-time setup. After the initial configuration, it is important to observe how everything works in real life and make corrections:

  • change statuses or stages

  • add new document templates

  • adjust automation rules

This allows Keruj to grow with your business and meet new challenges.

Setting up Keruj for your business model is a journey from chaos to order. Start with a process analysis, build the structure, define roles, set up directories, automate tasks. The result is transparent processes, fewer errors, better control, and optimal performance for every employee.

A CRM shouldn't just store data, it should manage your business logic, and that's exactly what allows the service to work the way your company needs it to.
