CentralStationCRM
5.8/10A simple, German-hosted cloud CRM from Cologne-based 42he for small teams, covering contacts, tasks, offers and projects, with up to 40 users.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
CentralStationCRM is a web-based CRM built by 42he GmbH in Cologne. It is designed for small German-speaking teams that want a straightforward shared address book and sales tracker rather than a heavy sales platform. Users keep people and companies in one place, record notes, emails and history against each contact, and assign tasks to colleagues. Tasks can be built from reusable templates and synced to Outlook or iCal. Offers and projects can be tracked by win probability, with an overview of open revenue by month. Pricing is a flat monthly fee per package rather than per seat. A free Starter plan covers 3 users and 200 contacts. Paid plans run from Team at 25 euros a month up to Enterprise at 299 euros a month for 40 users and 40,000 contacts, all excluding VAT. Pipelines and KPI tracking, extra contacts and extra storage can be booked on top of any paid plan. There is a 30-day trial with no payment details required, and no long-term contract. Integrations include Microsoft 365 for email filing, sipgate for calling and contact sync, Zapier, FastBill, EchtPost, HelpSpace and newsletter tools, plus a documented API. Data is stored redundantly in German data centres, and a data processing agreement is provided for each account. The main limitation is depth. Reviewers point to basic filtering and reporting, few automations, limited customisation and user rights, and a hard ceiling of 40 users, so growing sales organisations will outgrow it.
