Colombo CRM: every sale, from interest to settlement.

Colombo is the CRM Meridian Australia’s team works in every day. It follows each property sale from the first expression of interest to settlement, and works out who is owed what along the way.

The problem

A sale at Meridian runs for months and passes through agents, brokers and business partners. Each stage, from expression of interest through exchange and construction to settlement, can mean a commission or an invoice for someone, and every one of them has to be right.

What we built

We built Colombo for Meridian from scratch in 2015, on Symfony, to replace a manual workflow, and we have supported it ever since. In 2026 we moved it to Django and carried the deal and invoice history across.

It runs on the Django admin, themed for Meridian, because the people in it all day need fast lists and forms more than a new interface to learn.
