Custom CRM and Automation Development. Built Around Your Workflow.
Your pipeline stages are not a straight line. Your deal tracking does not fit template CRMs. Your team runs side spreadsheets because the CRM cannot handle what you actually do. Rain Automation builds the system that matches how your business works instead of the other way around, on a modern stack of React, Express, and Postgres. You own the code. There are no per-seat fees and no SaaS lock-in.
There are three ways we build. A custom CRM build takes 4 to 8 weeks and gives you pipeline stages that match your real process, custom fields and views, native integrations with tools like Stripe, email, Slack, and your phone system, and automated workflows that replace manual handoffs. Workflow automation with n8n takes 1 to 3 weeks and connects your existing tools with conditional logic, error handling, and retry logic, with no per-execution fees and self-hosting on your infrastructure or ours. Custom app development is scoped from discovery and covers full-stack web applications, client portals, internal dashboards, booking systems, and driver dispatch tools, with complete code ownership and a documented handoff.
The fit is clearest for service agencies with non-standard pipelines, delivery operators coordinating multi-driver routing and load order, and real estate teams whose follow-up depends on deal stage, property type, and lead source. If your team keeps side spreadsheets for things the CRM is supposed to handle, that is a fit problem rather than an adoption problem.
The person on the discovery call is the person who writes the code, deploys the infrastructure, and maintains the system in production.
