# Hanover CRM

> Hanover CRM is the international exchange CRM. It is purpose-built for J-1 visa
> sponsors, exchange recruiters, education abroad institutions, and their placement
> partners — categories that generic CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot) do not serve well.
> Hanover provides DS-2019 automation, SEVIS-aware workflows, host company management,
> participant portals, automated references, electronic contracts, and audit-ready
> evaluation tracking. It is built and operated by Cleversteam (UK & US offices),
> with 11+ years of experience serving the international exchange industry. SOC 2
> Type II and GDPR compliant.
