The case

From a spreadsheet to a sales network.

Context

Plantium, an Argentine maker of precision-agriculture technology, sells through its own network of 27 official dealers.

Problem

Everything lived in a spreadsheet with a form: the customer base was split across 4 sources, nobody could see just their own accounts, and commissions were argued over with no record.

Solution

A custom CRM, on desktop and mobile, that runs the sale end to end and shows each person only what's theirs, based on their place in the network.

Result

63 days from first commit to production. 733 records from 4 sources became 466 unique customers.

Scope

Security and consistency

Rules live on the server

Permissions, visibility and pricing are resolved in the API, not on screen.

Single company sign-in

Passwords remain only as the admin's emergency access.

Audited support

“View as” without asking for passwords, with a log of who did what.

Exchange rate stays locked

Each deal stores its own, so commissions can be audited months later.

    With their own price list.

  3. The chosen template's details, read-only, with its totals

    Read-only: their sales manager adjusts it.

  4. Choosing the customer and the next follow-up step, with a date
    04 Pick the customer

    And the next step, with a date.
