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.

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.
