Why Zarina CRM

Why companies choose Zarina CRM: a permanent licence and data on their own server

The platform is bought once, installed in the company’s own infrastructure and runs with unlimited users. Modules are activated in packages, according to what the company actually uses, and the application keeps working independently of any later commercial relationship.

The commercial model

A lifetime licence, not a monthly subscription

The difference is not only in price but in structure: the cost stops after the purchase, and the right to use the application does not depend on a contract continuing.

One-time paymentThe licence is paid once. There is no recurring cost and no recalculation when the team grows.
Unlimited usersThe number of accounts does not affect the price. Employees are added without changing the licence.
Modules in packagesThe platform base is in every package; the other modules come with the package that fits what you actually need.
No vendor lock-inThe application keeps running on the company’s server, independently of the commercial relationship with us.
Control over the data

The data stays in the company’s infrastructure

The installation is made on the client’s server or hosting. There is no copy of the database at the vendor and no processing on external infrastructure.

On-premise installationThe application runs on the company’s server or on the hosting it chooses, not in a shared account.
Access to the databaseThe company’s administrator has direct access to MySQL and can make their own backups.
Full exportThe data can be exported at any time, in table format, without the vendor’s involvement.
No external processingCommercial information is not sent to third parties for analysis, training or reporting.
Cost over time

How the two models behave in the long run

A subscription costs little at the start and grows with every user and every year. A permanent licence costs more at the beginning and stops there. The break-even point depends on the size of the team.

A monthly subscription per user

The cost is recurring and proportional to the team. Stopping the payment closes access to the application.

  • A cost per user, every month
  • Grows automatically with every hire
  • Indexation and price changes at renewal
  • The data stays with the vendor
  • Access ends together with the subscription

The Zarina CRM permanent licence

The cost is one-off and the number of users does not change it. The application keeps working.

  • A single payment, at purchase
  • Unlimited users, at no extra cost
  • No indexation and no renewal
  • The data sits on the company’s server
  • The application keeps working after the collaboration ends

The packages and price thresholds are published in full on the pricing page.

Implementation

How the go-live works

Every implementation starts with an analysis of the existing workflow. Licensing is not completed through a simple form.

01

Analysis

We go through the current commercial process, the roles in the team and the documents used, in order to settle the modules needed and the configuration.

02

Installation

The application is installed on the company’s server or hosting, with the certificate and backups configured.

03

Configuration

Your own fields, roles and document templates are defined, and the existing data is imported from Excel or from the previous system.

04

Handover and support

The team is trained on the company’s real data, followed by technical support for the whole duration of the licence.

Limits we state

What we do not do

We prefer this to be clear from the start, before signing.

We do not sell without an analysis

We do not deliver a licence on the basis of a filled-in form, without a conversation about the real workflow.

  • The analysis comes before the quote
  • The configuration is settled together
  • Modules you do not need are not invoiced

We do not promise integrations that do not exist

Every module page states explicitly what that module does not cover.

  • Integrations in preparation are marked as such
  • The technical limits are published
  • We do not promise APIs that are not available

We do not hold your data hostage

The database belongs to the company and stays accessible whatever the state of the commercial relationship.

  • No lockout on expiry
  • Export available at any time
  • Direct access to MySQL
Fit

Who the platform suits

The product does not suit every organisation. Below are the situations in which it works well and those in which we do not recommend buying it.

It suits

Companies that want control over their data and a predictable cost.

  • Teams that are growing and do not want a per-user cost
  • Companies required to keep the data in their own infrastructure
  • Organisations with their own commercial workflow, needing specific fields and stages
  • Companies operating in the United Arab Emirates and Romania
  • Companies that have outgrown shared Excel files

It does not suit

Situations in which the on-premise model brings no benefit.

  • Organisations with no server of their own and no intention of using dedicated hosting
  • Teams of one or two people, for whom the initial cost does not pay off
  • Companies that need invoicing only, with no sales side
  • Situations that need a product delivered and configured the same day
  • Requirements that would mean rewriting the platform completely
Case studies

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before buying

What happens if the supplying company ceases to operate?
The application stays installed on the company’s server and keeps working. The licence is permanent, it has no expiry mechanism, and the database is directly accessible to the administrator. The details are in the warranty and continuity section.
Does the licence really have no recurring cost?
No. The licence is paid once. Later costs appear only if you ask for additional modules, custom development or hosting services, and those are contracted separately.
How many users can use the platform?
An unlimited number. The price does not depend on the size of the team, and adding an employee does not require changing the licence.
What infrastructure is it installed on?
On the company’s server or on hosting it chooses. The requirements are PHP and MySQL, with no mandatory external services.
Is the data sent to the vendor?
No. There is no copy of the database at the vendor and no processing on external infrastructure. Technical access happens only at the company’s request, for specific interventions.
Can the data from our current system be imported?
Yes. Importing from Excel or CSV is part of the configuration stage. For other systems, the structure is analysed beforehand.
How long does implementation take?
It depends on the number of modules and the volume of data imported. The standard configuration is handed over within a few working days, while extensive customisation takes a period agreed at the analysis stage.
What happens with the updates?
New versions are applied to the existing installation, keeping the data and the configuration. Architecture changes stay compatible with the licences already granted.
Does the platform work outside Romania?
Yes. The company has operations in the United Arab Emirates and Romania, and the interface is available in 15 languages, including Arabic, with right-to-left display.
Can I test it before buying?
Yes. Access to the test environment is granted on request, with no bank card.
