# Salesforce alternative for mid-size B2B companies

Krokul puts the contract, invoices, payments, subscriptions, project hours and margin into one B2B CRM: for a company of 5 to 100 people, one product instead of several add-ons.

- Contract, invoices and payments in one deal
- Project hours and client margin
- Unlimited users on every plan

## Who Krokul fits

### Who Krokul is for

B2B companies with a long sales cycle, where a deal continues into a contract, invoices, payments, a project, hours and margin: integrators and implementation firms, SaaS and subscription services, agencies and project firms, software vendors with partners, B2B distribution.

### Who Krokul is not for

B2C retail, point of sale and shops, warehouse logistics (WMS), manufacturing ERP, and teams whose main need is marketing automation or a mobile app for staff. Krokul’s honest limits: no 2FA or SSO, no e-signature, no Gantt charts, no direct bank connection and no report builder; Google Calendar sync is one-way.
