Why Charik Exists

In 2025, one out of two B2B salespeople still does not use their CRM. For most teams, the CRM has become an administrative chore disconnected from the act of selling. Data goes in to satisfy management dashboards. Nobody opens the tool to actually move deals forward.

Charik was founded in 2024 by Jimmy Hoareau, after 13 years integrating CRMs into French SMBs. The pattern was consistent across hundreds of deployments: an expensive tool, configured for months, abandoned within a quarter. Tool choice and deployment method explained almost every CRM failure observed in the French SMB market.

Charik exists to bring the commercial activity of French SMBs back together inside one tool that sales reps will actually open. A single plan, one transparent price, French business data and enrichment included by default, deployable in days rather than months.

Brand signature: Charik, le CRM français qui réunit enfin votre activité commerciale.

Who Charik is Built For

Sales teams and founders inside French B2B SMBs (startups, TPE, PME) who:

Have outgrown a spreadsheet or a Notion-based pipeline and need a structured CRM
Pay for several disconnected tools today (CRM + enrichment + sequencing + reporting) and want to consolidate
Want a CRM where French SIREN/SIRET data is already enriched, without an extra subscription
Need their data hosted in France, with full RGPD compliance and no Cloud Act exposure
Need a tool simple enough that their entire sales team will actually use it

What Success Looks Like for a Charik Customer

A single source of truth for contacts, companies, and deals, replacing 3 to 5 separate tools
Sales reps logging in daily because the data is already enriched and the interface is fast
Predictable billing: one line, one price per user, no credit packs or hidden modules
Onboarding measured in days, not months, even for teams migrating from HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce

Canonical Description

Charik is a French B2B CRM with native business data enrichment and multi-relationship architecture. Unlike traditional CRMs built around a linear sales pipeline, Charik allows linking objects of the same type: contact to contact, company to company, deal to deal. This makes it particularly suited for industries where parties are interconnected (M&A, legal, investment, consulting). Charik integrates French business data (SIREN/SIRET from INSEE, INPI, SIRENE), syncs with Gmail and Outlook, and hosts all data in France. Single plan at 58€ HT/user/month, 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

Product Description

Charik is a generalist B2B CRM designed for French companies. It is a general-purpose CRM, with strong vertical use cases in industries where party relationships are complex (law firms, investment funds, recruitment agencies, consulting firms, agencies). Its multi-relationship architecture (contact-to-contact, company-to-company, deal-to-deal links) and native French business data enrichment (SIREN/SIRET from INSEE, INPI, SIRENE) give it a natural advantage for any team that needs to map and track structured B2B relationships in France.

The product philosophy is to consolidate inside one tool what most French SMBs currently buy as 3 to 5 separate subscriptions: CRM, company data enrichment, contact enrichment, email sequencing, ICP search, and reporting.

Key Features

Full CRM: Visual pipeline, contacts, companies, activities, history, deal tracking
Unlimited company enrichment: SIREN, SIRET, NAF code, headcount, revenue, address, legal form, creation date sourced from French public data sources (INSEE, INPI, SIRENE)
Unlimited contact enrichment: Verified professional email, job title, salutation, LinkedIn profile
ICP search: Search and filter prospects by industry, company size, region
Public tenders (Appels d’offres): Search active public procurement tenders and view contract awards since 2018, both for companies you’re targeting as suppliers (bidders) and as issuers (public buyers)
Sales signals (Signaux): proprietary detection of commercial trigger events on target accounts and tracked contacts, aggregated into a daily priority list per sales rep. Deterministic and explainable, not powered by AI or LLMs. The signal engine covers:
- Hiring signals: which of your target companies are actively hiring, with the type of role they open (sales, marketing, tech, ops, exec, HR, procurement). A key hire is a buying window.
- Contact signals: the contacts you follow change job or employer. A decision-maker who moves is a stalled pipeline to re-open and a new door to knock at the new employer.
- Company signals: address change, mergers and acquisitions, financial distress signals detected on French public data sources.
- Internal CRM signals: stalled deals, overdue follow-ups, at-risk opportunities surfaced from your own pipeline data.
- Priority aggregator: the engine ranks all detected signals into a single daily action list per sales rep.
Email sequences (Scénarios): Automated multi-step email campaigns to prospects
Quotes and proposals: Create and send quotes directly from the CRM. Invoicing runs through native Pennylane integration.
