Hi there. So this is my first post and I really hope that you will be able to help me out here. i run 2 companies with 3 emplyees each. we work together in 1 office so the teams sometimes also communicate with each other even though structurally they are not in the same company. currently we use 7 (!) different tools (hubspot for crm, selfhosted invoicing, microsoft teams for team chat & small data-storage, asana for todos, self hosted email marketing tool, tawk.to for chat-support on our websites, onedrive for data-storage, etc.) and it is getting complicated and confusing.

what we are looking for is a tool with the following features:

• crm
• Sales Automation
• advanced email marketing
• todo tracking
• team communication
• invoicing
• multi company features (different name, VAT, Logo, CRM Templates, etc.)
• Helpdesk & Live Chat for 2 Websites

This is what we already checked out and is close to what we were looking for:

• ZOHO ONE

We actually were happy to find zoho one because they offer everything we need within this package. the problem here is that it doesn't offer multi-company features. so I would have to have 2 accounts there and would only receive iOS notifications for 1 logged in account and the team wouldn't be able to be part of 1 plattform.

• Self hosted ODOO Community Edition

It seems like, odoo offers pretty much everything we need but we tested it and it feels quite .. clunky, slow and non-user friendly. Also just the thought of the struggle of managing something self hosted makes me sweat. Also there is no iOS App & Outlook AddIn to quickly add things to the CRM.

• flowlu Enterprice

flowlu enterprice seems quite nice when it comes to features and they supposetly have multi-company support soon, but we don't like the fact that the server is located in russia.

• teamleader.eu

What we like here is that the Servers are located in the EU, it offers Multi Company but it is not a Team-Collaboration tool and not a Support-Tool so we would still need things like data-storage, team-chat, todo/project management,

• teamwork.com

It seems like a nice tool, even though the multi-company features still is not quite clear here and also invoicing is clunky. You don't see a list of invoices, only when you check out a project so at the end of a quarter you would have to look into each project to find and search your invoices which seems quite exhausting.

After weeks of research I am at the point where I actually think that it is not possible to have 1 tool for all of that but more than 2 tool are too much. Any thoughts/help? you are my last resort.
