TRUSTED BY TEAMS
A telecom customer is not a contact with a sales history. They are an account with lines, services, devices, contracts and usage, served by a network that may be down at their address right now.
A telecommunications CRM has to show all of that at once, and connect to the billing, provisioning and network systems that hold it. Sodio builds telecom CRM for operators, ISPs and MVNOs — one view of every subscriber, orders that flow straight into activation, and business accounts with hundreds of lines.
/// IS CUSTOM RIGHT FOR YOU?
When a Packaged CRM Is the Right Answer
Salesforce Communications Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics both offer telecom editions, and smaller ISPs often run well on a general CRM. If one fits and connects to your systems, use it.
A packaged CRM fits when
- Your billing and provisioning systems have ready connectors to it
- Your products are simple enough for its standard catalogue
- You have the team to configure and run it
- Per-user licences suit your size
A custom telecom CRM fits when
- They are older, custom or from vendors the CRM does not support
- Bundles, devices and porting need rules the CRM cannot express
- You would rather own a system built for how you work
- Licences cost more than the CRM is worth to a regional operator

/// COST AND TIMELINE
What Drives the Cost and Timeline
A working subscriber view connected to your billing system typically arrives within 30 days, with a core production CRM in 90.
The cost moves with six things: how many systems it connects to; how complex your product catalogue is; whether it handles business accounts; installation and field service scheduling; migrating existing customer records; and how many agents and partners will use it.
/// /// FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
It is a CRM built around how telecom customers are structured: an account with lines, services, devices, contracts, plans and usage, served over a network with its own status at every address. A telecom CRM connects to billing, provisioning and network systems, so an agent can see and act on everything about a customer without switching between screens.
You can, and for many operators that is the right answer. Salesforce Communications Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics both offer telecom editions, and a smaller ISP may be fine on a general CRM. Custom makes sense when the CRM has to work closely with billing, provisioning and network systems that the packaged product does not connect to well, or when licence costs outgrow the value for a regional operator.
The term is used in two ways. For operators, it usually means the systems that hold subscribers, their services and their lifecycle — overlapping with CRM and billing. For broadband ISPs, it often also includes authenticating subscribers on the network and applying their speed plans. A telecom CRM for an ISP typically connects to that network-side subscriber management rather than replacing it.
Yes. For ISPs and fibre networks, a serviceability check at the start of the sale is essential: it looks up the address against network coverage and capacity and shows which products and speeds are available, and when. It stops sales being made that cannot be installed.
Yes. Business accounts are held as a hierarchy — company, sites, departments, lines — with contracts, service levels and billing arrangements at each level, so an account manager sees the whole relationship and an agent can still find a single line quickly.
Yes. Customer records, contacts, cases and history are migrated and deduplicated, then run alongside the old system before switching over, so agents are never left without a customer's history.
