CRM Instead of Excel: When Does Delbig Become Necessary?

Furniture companies often outgrow Excel because visuals, price lists, quotes and shipment details need to stay connected.

When does Excel become risky?

As the team grows, different copies of price lists start circulating. Quotes can be prepared from outdated prices, approved quotes may not reach inventory, and delivery dates can disappear in messages.

  • The current price source becomes unclear.
  • It becomes hard to answer who quoted what to which customer.
  • Orders and deliveries spread across personal files and messages.

How does Delbig solve this?

In Delbig, products, price lists, customers, quotes, orders and shipments remain connected. Reports come from live process records instead of isolated spreadsheets.

  • Price lists can be assigned by customer or user.
  • Quote PDFs, sharing and visits stay on the same record.
  • Management sees live operations instead of scattered files.

Frequently asked questions

Should Excel be abandoned completely?

What is the first step in moving from Excel to CRM?

Cleaning product and price data is usually the first step. Then customers, quotes, orders and operations are connected to the system.
