Outgrown the way you run your business?

As your business grows, so does the admin. More spreadsheets, more systems, more double handling - and more time spent trying to keep everything connected.

More than sales CRM. Built for the work behind the sale.

Traditional CRM helps manage relationships and opportunities. Tall Emu also manages the products, purchasing, production and fulfilment needed to deliver what you sell. It offers much of the operational capability growing SMEs look for in ERP software, while keeping MYOB or Xero as the accounting system.

It's designed for manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and product and equipment businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets or disconnected software. See who Tall Emu is for →

Customers don't talk in CRM fields.

Calls, emails, meetings, notes and activities belong beside sales, jobs and tickets in the same customer history. The next person can see both what was ordered and what was agreed.

Supported phone integrations can log calls automatically. Where recording is enabled and available to Tall Emu, recordings can be transcribed and summarised, with suggested follow-up actions and help creating tasks.

We used our own conversations to rebuild this website.

We reviewed customer calls to understand the questions people asked and what needed a clearer explanation. Keeping the conversation makes it useful beyond the next follow-up.
