5 reasons why legacy CRM is on the way out and why no-code is here to stay

CRM software systems were once the digital backbone of business growth, but what worked in the past doesn’t always fit the pace and pressure of today. In 2025, companies aren’t just seeking digital tools, they’re demanding agility, speed, and autonomy. And that’s exactly where legacy CRM systems are falling short.
