CRM and ERP portal CAE42

From contact to invoice

CAE42 is the CRM and ERP portal of Keppler IT-Systems GmbH: companies and people, quotes, orders and invoices, projects and calendar in one shared data set. You involve suppliers, service providers and customers in your processes with their own accounts.

What CAE42 does for you

Three steps that belong together and that many companies still keep in three different programs: record, link, invoice.

Record

Companies, people, contacts, contracts and items. A company can be a customer, a supplier and a service provider at the same time. You import existing data via CSV, with column mapping, preview and duplicate check.

Link

Records are linked to each other instead of being repeated: the line item to the document, the document to the company, the task to the project. Whoever opens a record sees what is attached to it.

Invoice

Quote, order, invoice and credit note are variants of one document. The invoice number is only assigned when the invoice is signed off; open items, dunning run and revenue result from the invoices and payments.

Projects

Projects with lists, tasks and time entries on one board. Cards move from list to list with the mouse, and the booked time is attached to the task rather than to a separate timesheet.

Sales

Sales opportunities pass through six stages from lead to won or lost. Value and probability produce the forecast, and the won opportunity becomes the quote.

Calendar

The calendar shows the appointments and deadlines that are already in the portal: validity of quotes, due dates of invoices, contract deadlines. Whoever works in the portal keeps the calendar up to date along the way.

How it works

Your own portal in four steps

01

Set up access

There is no open self-registration: we set up your access and get back to you with the credentials.

02

Import your data

Customers, suppliers and contacts are imported into the portal via CSV; we support you on request.

03

Write documents

From quote to order to invoice, without entering the line items again.

04

Involve your team

Employees, customers, freelancers and tax advisers each receive their own access via a time-limited invitation link.

Invoice support with vNOC42

Do you look after your customers’ IT with our vNOC42 portal? Then CAE42 can invoice your support per period: for each customer you look after, you store a base price and a price per monitored system, and the portal creates a draft invoice after each month, quarter or year.

  • The number of monitored systems comes from vNOC42
  • Each period is invoiced exactly once
  • You review every draft and sign it off yourself
