Custom Sales CRM Development

I am building a lightweight yet robust CRM dedicated to sales management for a small team of 1-10 reps. The core of the system must revolve around two functions: tracking every lead from first touch to close, and generating clear sales forecasts that help us plan weekly and monthly targets.a store with multiple branch

Here is what I expect as a first release:

• Lead-tracking workflow — capture, qualify, assign, and progress opportunities with visible stage changes and simple drag-and-drop controls.
• Sales-forecasting dashboards — real-time pipeline value, probability-weighted projections, and basic trend charts exportable to CSV or Excel.
• User and role management for up to 10 seats, including permissions that keep sensitive forecasts visible only to managers.
• Clean, responsive web interface that works smoothly on desktop and tablet.
• Data import from our existing spreadsheets and an API endpoint so we can push new leads in from future landing pages.
• Clear documentation and a quick-start guide so my reps can be up and running without outside training.

The stack is your choice, as long as it is mainstream, well-documented, and easy to maintain; Laravel, Django, Node/Express, or similar all work for me. Please outline the tech you propose, how long it will take to ship an MVP with the features above, and any optional add-ons (for example contact management or email automation) you think would be low-effort wins for a later phase.

If you have built sales-focused CRMs or comparable SaaS tools before, include a link or short demo clip in your bid. I will shortlist freelancers who can show they understand both the business side of sales forecasting and the technical steps to keep the codebase clean and extendable.
