Is Sharepoint right for this use case?

This is the question I am struggling to determine.

 

Use Case 6 Users with Microsoft 365 Business Standard in a small business with a small turnover. Replacing a unreliable Access Database on a local shared drive.

 

System would be somewhat of a CRM with Accounts, Contacts, History, Notes, Quotes & Jobs entities, File Storage as well as a reminder system

 

Ive been looking at Dynamics CRM, a Power App utilising Dataverse but these solutions are way out of price range or have limited capacity (3gb) before charges go through the roof

 

Any thoughts or comments greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

  • SharePoint could be an option here, but remember: SharePoint is not intended to model solutions where a Database is required behind the scenes...from the options described, I would advice to go to the Power Platform but in Teams where you don't have extra costs and you can use the Dataverse with some limitations that I think are not applicable for your case
