Supplier Flow vs Trello

A CRM that knows what a supplier is, plus every supplier record is one click away.

The short version

Trello is fine for anything that fits a 3-column kanban. It's not built for supplier outreach, so every field is manual, every link to a supplier record is a paste, and every follow-up reminder is a Zapier task away.

Trello is best for: Everything but supplier outreach.

Free tier

Every high-ticket operator starts outreach in Trello. By 20 suppliers, the board is a mess of colored labels and inconsistent notes.

The CRM you've been faking in Trello was never going to cohere. We built the same kanban shape you already use, but every card is wired to the supplier record, the activity log writes itself, and the analytics page already knows which cards have been sitting untouched for 14+ days.

Bottom line

If you've been managing outreach in Trello, you already know the friction. Our CRM is a kanban too. It just knows what a supplier is.
