Ditch the spreadsheets


Starting a business often means relying on spreadsheets. They're affordable and help you get organized quickly. However, as your business expands, these spreadsheets can become chaotic and inefficient. The risk of losing valuable data or making errors increases. Additionally, as your team grows, managing access and collaboration becomes challenging. This is the perfect time to transition to a secure, cloud-based CRM system.

Move towards a paperless office


Forms, quotes, invoices, product sheets, training manuals—the list goes on. Storing years of paper documents in the office is both costly and insecure. Digitizing this data is straightforward. From your initial enquiry or registration form to quotes and invoices, we offer secure, cloud-based systems to help you get started.

Improve client communications


Managing client communications is crucial for business growth. While it's simple with just you and your smartphone, it becomes more complex as you expand. With multiple channels—phone, email, social media, WhatsApp, chat, and your website—managing communications can be challenging. We centralize client communication, helping you improve responsiveness and deliver quicker replies.


Choosing technology is tough


Choosing the right technology and integration partner is essential in the early stages of your digital transformation plans. There's so much choice when it comes to the systems that are available. Even if you select a vendor, the licensing is often complex and ensuring you choose the right product to suit can be a challenge. We take the pain out of that process.

When is a good time to get in touch?

Employing a team

When your business is just you, life is simple. Once you start to build your team, integrated cloud systems can really help to energise, focus and empower your new staff.

Data Security Concerns

Your data is your business. Keeping it secure is essential to operations. Storing data in personal cloud storage or worse, locally, isn't going to help with compliance or recovery.

Strategic Planning

You have big plans. Growing your business can be challenging, but without systems and processes in place early, it can lead to more complex designs later down the line.

Connecting Systems

You may already be invested in Cloud technology, but the systems are working independently. Integrating cloud technology can offer huge increases to productivity (and reduce cost). 

CRM Accuracy

If you've had a cloud CRM in place for some time, you may have noticed the quality of the data has become an issue. Time for a cleanse and to introduce accuracy to addresses, emails and phone contact data.

Improve Reporting

Let's face it. Most standard cloud solutions have sub-standard reporting capability. If you want more from your existing solutions, we can connect them up to our cloud analytics to deliver custom reports and dashboards.

FAQ

How much does secure, cloud CRM cost?

The cost really does depend on your requirements - which we will capture during your free initial consultation. For UK SMBs, we usually recommend Zoho Bigin CRM. This is free for single users, so there's no ongoing license fee. If you have more than one user, then the cost for the initial version (Express) is £7 per user/month so very affordable for most businesses.

Implementation costs will vary dependent on requirements. A typical UK SMB with 5 users migrating from spreadsheets or an old legacy CRM should budget for 20 hours of implementation costs - this equates to £1,800+VAT based on our current rates. However, if you use our online training resources, you may be able to complete the imports, customisation and integrations yourself.

Is there a preferred CRM?

We've been a Zoho Advanced Partner for 11 years and completed over 250 implementations using the technology. Zoho is secure, reliable and flexible, so it's normally the technology that we recommend. However, if we believe there is a better cloud tool that will meet your needs, we will tell you. The customer need always comes first.

Do you provide onsite training?

We're very happy to visit your site to provide training and a fully immersive introduction to your new CRM.

How long does implementation take?

We always allow up to 4 weeks for a standard CRM implementation.

Can we add our email marketing platform?

We support Zoho Campaigns, MailChimp and Constant Contact out-of-the-box. This means that we'll connect up your CRM to sync Lists and Contacts automatically. We can integrate with other Email Marketing Platforms, but this would be managed under our Advanced Support service. If you don't already have an Email Marketing tool, we can include Zoho Campaigns in your package.

Can you integrate our other cloud services?

As long as your chosen service has an Open API or is available in Zapier, then we can connect up your existing systems. This includes finance systems such as Xero and Quickbooks.

Do you cover our sector?

The technology that we use (Zoho) is completely customisable. With our SMB business experience, we ask the right questions to ensure that the CRM fits your business and sector rather than the other way around. So, in short, we can cover all SMB sectors. Previous clients include sectors from manufacturing, finance, travel & tourism, advertising, media, professional services, trades, green technology, real estate, entertainment, haulage, pharmaceutical, transport, care services, creatives, agriculture, IT services, telecoms providers and more...
