Problem
SMEs and startups often rely on multiple disconnected tools for CRM, prospecting, data enrichment, and sales signals, leading to high costs, fragmented data, and significant time lost switching between applications.
Solution
Charik provides a single, French‑hosted CRM that unifies contact and company management, automated enrichment, prospecting, and AI‑driven activity insights. Users can import data from any existing CRM, Excel, or Google Sheets and have companies and contacts automatically enriched with public French data, eliminating manual entry. The platform surfaces real‑time signals such as hiring events, funding rounds, and role changes, and suggests next actions through built‑in AI summaries. All features are available under a fixed per‑user subscription with no credit‑based pricing, ensuring predictable costs. The system is hosted on OVHcloud in France, fully GDPR‑compliant, and includes native integrations with email, calendar, and accounting tools. This streamlined stack lets sales teams focus on selling rather than managing multiple applications.
Target Audience
Charik targets French B2B startups, TPEs, and SMEs that need a complete sales stack without the complexity and cost of multiple tools.
