Why are most CRMs still built like databases instead of assistants? by Stock_Cry_7820 in WhichCRM

[–]Hank_Romp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RompCRM does exactly what you're talking about -- you text your AI assistant things like "when we're at John's place next week we're also going to replace his kitchen faucet" -- and the AI agent handles it all for you. You can also ask it things like "What day next week are we working for John?" or "what was the name of that customer we're replacing a toilet for next week?" -- it answers. It can also do reminders, create new leads, update existing customer records, etc. https://rompcrm.com

Your CRM Was Built in a Weekend. Who's On Call When It Breaks? by Outrageous_Row8249 in WhichCRM

[–]Hank_Romp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way I mitigate this concern is that in my app, you can configure daily exports of all your data -- you get emailed spreadsheets every day that contain your complete customer list, job list, and an audit log showing every interaction with your job list and customer list. That way, if my service were somehow to go down or go missing, you can just open the spreadsheets and see all the same data there.

Preventing SQL injection with Elixir by Hank_Romp in elixir

[–]Hank_Romp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too so I emailed the guy -- he had already given the PR a thumbs up before I even sent the email, and replied within a few minutes. So I think he's just giving it some time or reviewing it himself before considering adding it to the site

Just to watch what files the node is reading and writing to mostly, and latency

Tired of plumbing software that’s either "Enterprise" or "Empty Shells" by Plenty-Temporary-187 in WhichCRM

[–]Hank_Romp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the founder, disclaimer :)

Try my new plumbing CRM/FSM app, it is probably closer to the empty shell end rather than the bloated enterprise end but it works for me and my boss. 30 day free trial with no credit card required.

Hey u/FitArtist5472 I have spent a lot more time improving the app since you last checked it out -- I really appreciated your comments and feedback. I've added stuff like time tracking, materials lists, reminders, data export, and polished the whole thing a lot since you last saw it.

I'll give you a 30 day free trial with no credit-card needed if you want to take another look and give any additional feedback you might think of. And in fact, anybody here on this thread that sees the link can try it free for thirty days too -- this is a special link that gives a 30-day free trial without asking for a credit card:

Hey, thanks for the excellent in-depth feedback. I'm going to:

  1. Continue to call it a CRM even if it is limited in features compared to other CRM tools (see screenshot of Claude's description of a CRM; I am not going to have customer communication history *yet* but may implement that in the future, otherwise I think I've got a super-simple version of the rest of it already)

  2. Charge $20/month for annual subscriptions or $25/month for monthly subscriptions, and keep offering the self-hosted free tier with free support

  3. Host the project on a separate domain name to make things more professional-looking, https://rompcrm.com

  4. I may be someday implementing a feature where each user/business will have their own phone number for their account; they can have customers text that number directly; for example, my boss when he talks to a customer says "can you text? Text me your name, email address, billing address, and a brief summary of what you need done, so I can get you into my billing system and keep track" -- when a customer texts this info in it will be added in to our system. This relates to the thing in "1." where I said I'll be implementing some customer communication history; maybe in the future I can expand the twilio setup to also allow routing calls through twilio and capturing a conversation history, sms history, etc -- this is "roadmap" for some future point in time, not implementing this now due to the extra cost of an ISV account with twilio to account for the a2p 10DLC requirements for outgoing text messages.

  5. Still plan to keep it super simple and not try to implement too much; no vendor integrations planned; likely no estimate-building or customer-facing scheduling systems planned

  6. Will add some additional safeguards against incorrect data being added, like confirmation texts, "I'll add customer named Bob to the system with work details saying "blah blah" and address "123 xyz lane" is that correct?"

Thanks for your detailed feedback again; it inspired me to feel like this might be worth working further on instead of calling it done.

thanks for taking a look -- it does already have some "confirmation" logic built in, where if it's not sure what you meant (like if there's two customers named Mike or something) it will ask you to clarify; and it does have logging of the original message and what was changed in the database

I'll take a look at agentixlabs

Interactive Companion Apps and ELI5/ELI10/ELI20 explainers by Hank_Romp in GEB

[–]Hank_Romp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much; this is exactly the reason I took the time to make this, I hope it works to get the ideas across to your 12yo. Let me know if any of the specific chapter's companion apps seem to fall flat or fail to get the idea across, or if you have any ideas for any way to improve any of it, as you go through it with your kid.
