What is Dove365 CRM — Starter?

A complete CRM built on Microsoft Power Platform and Dataverse — designed for small and medium businesses that need structure, not complexity.

Stop managing customers in spreadsheets

Without a CRM, customer relationships live in email inboxes, spreadsheets, and individual heads. Data gets lost, follow-ups get missed, and no one has a complete picture.

01

No single source of truth

Customer data is scattered across multiple tools, people, and formats. There’s no single record that shows the full picture of a customer relationship — who spoke to them, what was agreed, what’s outstanding.

02

Leads fall through the gaps

Prospects are tracked manually or not at all. Follow-up relies on memory. Qualified leads get lost because no one has visibility of where they are in the process or who is responsible.

03

Support suffers without structure

Support requests arrive via email, phone, and chat. Without a structured system, issues get forgotten, priorities get confused, and customers feel they need to chase for updates.

A structured CRM inside Microsoft 365

Dove365 CRM — Starter is a fully configured, productised CRM built on Microsoft Power Platform. It runs inside Dataverse — Microsoft’s enterprise data platform — and integrates with Outlook and SharePoint.
