SMBs tend to grow by using one tool per department — a spreadsheet for finance, another for sales — and the problem shows up when those departments need to talk to each other. Jestor solves this with finance, CRM, recruiting, and purchasing on the same **single data source**.

## What is a single data source across modules, and why does it exist?

A single data source means finance, CRM, recruiting, and purchasing share the same underlying model — eliminating fragmentation across tools isolated by department.

| Module         | What you track                      | Key indicator           |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| **Finance**    | Accounts payable and receivable     | Monthly spending target |
| **CRM**        | Opportunities by phase and priority | Revenue forecast        |
| **Purchasing** | Requests and quotes                 | Amount saved            |
| **Recruiting** | Candidates by phase and position    | Average time to hire    |

## How to centralize finance, CRM, and purchasing using Jestor

- **Single dashboard:** receivables, payables, sales, purchases, and candidates in one panel.
- **Financial calendar:** upcoming bills and the monthly spending target.
- **CRM by phase:** opportunities organized by priority and temperature.
- **Purchasing with multiple quotes:** each request receives supplier proposals before approval.

**How to configure it in Jestor:** install the ready-made template from the store and adjust phases, categories, and fields to fit the SMB's reality.

> **Important:** Jestor doesn't replace the ERP — it organizes the processes and, when needed, sends information to ERPs like Omie and Conta Azul, which remain responsible for the fiscal and accounting side.

## Why choose Jestor for this system?

The key differentiator is a **modular structure ready to install**, with no need for a developer, with indicators for the entire operation visible on a single dashboard.
