      <title>MONARK SO: Business Software Built for Real Needs</title>
      <dc:creator>MONARK SO</dc:creator>

      <link>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-so-business-software-built-for-real-needs-b9k</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-so-business-software-built-for-real-needs-b9k</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Business software works best when it starts with a real operational problem.&lt;br&gt;
That is the idea behind &lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK SO&lt;/a&gt;, a suite of business software solutions developed by MONARK IT. Each product was created around needs we encountered in project management, customer relationship management, or recruitment.&lt;br&gt;
The objective is not to add more tools to a company's stack. It is to simplify processes that are still too manual, fragmented, or difficult to monitor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fhf60e7h5i4wyl3al1lv4.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fhf60e7h5i4wyl3al1lv4.png" alt=" " width="250" height="250"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Built from real business needs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MONARK SO&lt;/strong&gt; currently includes three main products.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/core" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK CORE&lt;/a&gt; helps companies manage projects, resources, staffing, budgets, and capacity.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/crm" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK CRM&lt;/a&gt; provides an existing CRM foundation that can be adapted to specific business processes instead of starting from zero.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/pepit" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK PEPIT&lt;/a&gt; helps recruiters analyze and screen large volumes of CVs with AI assistance.&lt;br&gt;
Each product addresses a different operational challenge, but the approach remains the same: start with the process, then adapt the technology around it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using AI where it actually helps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI is useful when it removes repetitive work or makes information easier to access.&lt;br&gt;
In &lt;em&gt;MONARK PEPIT&lt;/em&gt;, AI helps analyze CVs, compare candidates with job requirements, explain scores, and prepare interviews.&lt;br&gt;
In &lt;em&gt;MONARK CORE&lt;/em&gt;, AI can make project and resource information easier to retrieve through a conversational interface.&lt;br&gt;
The goal is not to automate every decision. AI should support the user, while people remain responsible for important business decisions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three products, one practical approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MONARK SO focuses on areas where companies often lose time because information is spread across spreadsheets, emails, documents, and disconnected systems.&lt;br&gt;
MONARK CORE centralizes project information.&lt;br&gt;
MONARK CRM structures customer and sales processes.&lt;br&gt;
MONARK PEPIT helps structure the first stages of recruitment.&lt;br&gt;
The products are different, but all three are designed around visibility, better information, and simpler workflows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who’s Behind MONARK SO?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MONARK SO is developed by MONARK IT, a software company building custom applications, business software, automation, and AI solutions.&lt;br&gt;
The suite turns recurring operational needs into practical software products designed to evolve with the businesses that use them.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>MONARK CRM: An Adaptable CRM Built on an Existing Foundation</title>
      <dc:creator>MONARK SO</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:06:48 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-crm-an-adaptable-crm-built-on-an-existing-foundation-32j2</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-crm-an-adaptable-crm-built-on-an-existing-foundation-32j2</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A company that needs a more flexible CRM usually faces two choices.&lt;br&gt;
Use a standard CRM that may not fit the process, or build an entirely custom platform from zero.&lt;br&gt;
MONARK CRM takes a different approach.&lt;br&gt;
It starts with an existing CRM foundation and adapts it to the way the business actually works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fs501bk0qdftlf0bh5jfq.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fs501bk0qdftlf0bh5jfq.png" alt=" " width="250" height="250"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why not start from zero?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Building a complete CRM from scratch can take significant time and budget.&lt;br&gt;
But using a completely standard system can also create problems when the company's sales process, approvals, roles, or customer workflows are different.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/crm" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK CRM&lt;/a&gt; keeps the common CRM foundations already in place and focuses development effort on the areas that really need adaptation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adapt the CRM to the business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Different companies do not manage customers in exactly the same way.&lt;br&gt;
A consulting company, service business, distributor, or project-based organization may each require different pipeline stages, fields, permissions, dashboards, and workflows.&lt;br&gt;
MONARK CRM can be adapted around those requirements.&lt;br&gt;
The goal is not customization for its own sake. It is to make the CRM follow the real business process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A foundation that can evolve&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A typical implementation can include customer and prospect management, sales pipelines, tasks, follow-ups, roles, permissions, dashboards, and approval workflows.&lt;br&gt;
From there, the scope can evolve depending on the client's requirements.&lt;br&gt;
The exact configuration is discussed with the business because not every company needs the same level of customization.&lt;br&gt;
This also makes it possible to start with a focused version and extend it when there is a clear operational need.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Between generic and fully custom&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MONARK CRM is designed for companies that find standard CRM products too rigid but do not need to rebuild an entire CRM platform from the ground up.&lt;br&gt;
That middle position is important.&lt;br&gt;
It provides an existing software base while keeping enough flexibility to adapt the system to different industries and workflows.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>MONARK CORE: Project Portfolio Management and Resource Planning</title>
      <dc:creator>MONARK SO</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:00:10 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-core-project-portfolio-management-and-resource-planning-2epe</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-core-project-portfolio-management-and-resource-planning-2epe</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MONARK CORE did not start as a theoretical product idea.&lt;br&gt;
It came from a real need inside MONARK IT: managing several projects at the same time while keeping a clear view of resources, staffing, budgets, and team capacity.&lt;br&gt;
Today,&lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/core" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK CORE&lt;/a&gt; is used internally as part of our daily project and resource management.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Frf84u25douqjfzujzjeo.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Frf84u25douqjfzujzjeo.png" alt=" " width="250" height="250"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why we needed CORE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As the number of projects grows, simple spreadsheets become harder to maintain.&lt;br&gt;
The same developer, designer, or consultant may be assigned to several projects. Managers also need to understand availability, upcoming leave, project workload, and budget impact.&lt;br&gt;
The problem is not only project tracking.&lt;br&gt;
It is understanding whether the organization actually has enough capacity to deliver the work already planned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project and resource management in one place&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MONARK CORE brings projects, resources, staffing, budgets, and reporting together.&lt;br&gt;
Managers can see who is assigned to which project, how much capacity is still available, and where conflicts may appear.&lt;br&gt;
Leave and availability also matter because a person may appear available on paper while already having planned time off or other commitments.&lt;br&gt;
This gives teams a more realistic view of capacity planning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Making information easier to find&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Project systems can contain a lot of useful information, but finding it quickly is another problem.&lt;br&gt;
MONARK CORE includes a conversational approach that can make project and resource data easier to query.&lt;br&gt;
Instead of searching through multiple screens, a manager can ask questions about availability, assignments, staffing, or current projects.&lt;br&gt;
The objective is simple: reduce the time between having a question and finding the information needed to make a decision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Built from daily use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because MONARK IT uses CORE internally, the product continues to evolve around practical project management needs.&lt;br&gt;
Resource planning, portfolio visibility, staffing, budgets, RACI responsibilities, and reporting are not separate ideas. They are parts of the same operational picture.&lt;br&gt;
That is the problem CORE is designed to solve.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>MONARK PEPIT: AI-Assisted CV Screening for Recruiters</title>
      <dc:creator>MONARK SO</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:39:21 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-pepit-ai-assisted-cv-screening-for-recruiters-540j</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/monark_so/monark-pepit-ai-assisted-cv-screening-for-recruiters-540j</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recruiters can receive dozens or hundreds of CVs for a single position.&lt;br&gt;
Reading every application carefully takes time, especially when the recruiter also needs to compare candidates against specific job requirements.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/pepit" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK PEPIT&lt;/a&gt; uses AI to support this first screening process without removing the recruiter from the decision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F88xj3xm4b4v62th30s5n.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F88xj3xm4b4v62th30s5n.png" alt=" " width="250" height="250"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Helping recruiters process more CVs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PEPIT analyzes candidate CVs against the requirements of a job.&lt;br&gt;
Instead of giving the recruiter only a list of applications, the system helps organize the information and highlight the profiles that may deserve closer attention.&lt;br&gt;
This can reduce repetitive work when the volume of applications becomes difficult to manage manually.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More than a simple score&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A candidate score is useful only when the recruiter can understand it.&lt;br&gt;
PEPIT can identify relevant experience, skills, strengths, missing information, and areas that may need further verification.&lt;br&gt;
The score is therefore accompanied by reasoning.&lt;br&gt;
The recruiter can see why a candidate received a certain assessment rather than being asked to trust a number without context.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From CV analysis to interview preparation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The screening process does not stop after ranking candidates.&lt;br&gt;
PEPIT can also help generate interview questions based on the job description and the candidate profile.&lt;br&gt;
This connects CV analysis, candidate scoring, and interview preparation in the same recruitment workflow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The final decision remains human&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PEPIT is designed to assist recruiters, not replace them.&lt;br&gt;
AI can analyze information, highlight evidence, and suggest areas to investigate.&lt;br&gt;
But the recruiter can review the original CV, question the score, evaluate the context, and decide whether the candidate should move forward.&lt;br&gt;
The final hiring decision remains human.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Discover &lt;a href="https://www.monark.so/en/pepit" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;MONARK PEPIT&lt;/a&gt;, and if you have questions about AI-assisted CV screening or recruitment workflows, we’ll be happy to help.&lt;/p&gt;
