Overview
Highrise is a cloud CRM built around contact records, relationship history and follow-up work. It combines notes, emails, tasks, reminders, tags, custom fields, cases and deals in shared contact profiles.
37signals launched Highrise in 2007. The company stopped accepting new signups on August 20, 2018, while continuing to support existing accounts. Its current public website therefore describes a maintained legacy product rather than a generally available new CRM purchase.
