"One of the most promising opportunities lies in building UI enhancements—or wrappers—on top of the existing backend systems"
Why CRM User Experience Deserves More Attention
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems have become critical infrastructure for sales, marketing, and customer support teams. From managing contacts and automating workflows to tracking leads and analyzing performance, CRMs are designed to centralize business processes and improve outcomes.
But while CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho are functionally robust, many fall short when it comes to user experience. Cluttered interfaces, complex navigation, and inefficient workflows are common frustrations. As more teams depend on CRM tools daily, the cost of poor usability increases—resulting in lost productivity, slower onboarding, and reduced adoption.
There’s a growing opportunity to solve this problem not by building a new CRM from scratch, but by improving the interface and usability of the systems businesses already use.
This article explores:
Despite offering deep functionality, many CRM platforms are difficult to navigate. Users often describe the experience as overwhelming, especially in platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce. It’s not uncommon for sales reps or marketers to spend more time clicking through menus than actually engaging with customers.
Common issues include:
The end result? Teams avoid the CRM or use it only in limited ways, which undermines the tool’s intended value.
Rather than replace existing CRMs, one of the most promising opportunities lies in building UI enhancements—or wrappers—on top of the existing backend systems. These solutions offer a new front-end interface that simplifies the user experience while keeping the core CRM logic and data untouched.
A CRM UI wrapper could:
This is similar to what Superhuman did for email. Instead of replacing Gmail, Superhuman reimagined how users interact with it—prioritizing speed, clarity, and focus. The same concept can be applied to CRMs: take the complexity of tools like HubSpot and make them more efficient and enjoyable to use.
CRMs stay sticky because they’re integrated with everything—from marketing automation and lead gen tools to customer support software and analytics dashboards. That’s why few companies are willing to abandon their existing CRM outright.
Any UI improvement strategy must:
The goal isn’t just to make the CRM prettier—it’s to make the experience more efficient without sacrificing functionality.
CRM replacement is notoriously difficult. Even when users are unhappy with their current platform, businesses rarely make the switch. Why?
This is why UI overlays and front-end wrappers are such a valuable opportunity: they allow businesses to improve their CRM experience without starting from scratch. Teams get the benefit of a better workflow and interface while continuing to use the tools they already rely on.
User expectations are shifting. As AI-powered assistants, clean user interfaces, and intelligent automation become standard in other software categories, CRM platforms are expected to follow.
Trends shaping the future of CRM UI:
