Multi-Tenant SaaS CRM System
Why Choose This Project?
Most modern businesses need customer relationship management (CRM) tools, but not every business can afford or maintain its own system. A Multi-Tenant SaaS CRM provides CRM as a service, where multiple businesses (tenants) share the same platform—but with data and access strictly isolated.
This project teaches you real-world enterprise-level software architecture, security, and dynamic tenant provisioning—all essential in modern cloud systems.
