Software Development
Every business is unique and sometimes that means that custom development is required to deliver the outcomes it needs. With a staff of full-time developers, CRM strategy can translate your needs into reliable and supported packages that you have full control over. From small, fast-turnaround projects to long term development programmes, we can ensure you get the results you need on time and budget.

With a custom web app you get a modern device-agnostic user experience that is custom-built to answer your business need. We optimise for all screen sizes, ensuring we cache data for offline functionality – guaranteeing you and your staff get a consistent and reliable experience.

Report building
While all CRMs have reporting features, it can sometimes be a challenge to create the specific report you’re looking for. Our data specialists are willing and able to craft any report you may need. And if the native CRM reporting system isn’t able to provide the what you’re seeking, we have access to BI tools to create more detailed reports and custom realtime on-screen experiences.

Concierge service
Sometimes an organization is so complex the challenge of implementing a CRM seems overwhelming. In other words - you don’t know what you don’t know. To help with onboarding and improve your CRM experience we offer a concierge service, where one or more of our staff work with you for a period of time on-premise. These staff activity engage at all levels, from on the spot training to building reports, or proactively raising opportunities for process-improvement. It’s like having a staff member of your own who’s fully trained in all the nuances of your system, at your complete disposal.

Design & System Architecture
CRM Strategy Systems Architects offer end-to-end designs that take advantage of the latest business process thinking, underpinned by robust technology. Working intensively with our clients we iterate our designs from first principles to final product, checking in at each stage to make sure we are solving the underlying business goal. We use common sense-language to make sure everyone is on the same page, and make sure everyone has a clear understanding of the work from simple prototypes to final product.

Visit Management
All CRMs have call and meeting records, but by themselves these tools don’t drive sales and customer retention. We work with you to maximise the value of your CRM by ensuring it provides your sales, support and account management staff with timely heads’ ups and best time to contact, based on rules that you supply. Further, by integrating into real-time maps and mobile applications, the systems will be location aware and able to offer your team optimised visit plans.

Pre-packaged CRM – The Performance Office
The Performance Office is a strategy for deployment that focuses on risk management and rapid value delivery and forms the foundation for future activities.

The Performance Office offers a secure first step in onboarding a CRM.

Ad-hoc Consultation
Often the process of bringing on a new CRM opens up many channels of conversation and enquiry. This ongoing discussion can often run well past the initial deployment, and so we are always available to help untangle a problem or provide an informed view as it pertains to your business goals and CRM.
August 28, 2020/by Paul Western-Pittard
Change Management
The decision to implement a CRM requires a change to existing practices. It doesn’t matter how good a CRM is if your staff don’t use it properly. With over 25 years’ experience in introducing CRM systems to businesses, we know the points of resistance, and also how the enthusiasms of implementing a new system can impact its long-term viability. (Hint – don’t turn everything on at once). We coach managers and staff towards a successful adoption of the CRM and related processes, or offer plans that managers can run independently.
August 28, 2020/by Paul Western-Pittard
Strategic Planning
At CRM Strategy we take the view that technology only exists to serve the business need. We make sure that we work with clients at a strategic level to discuss not only the technical implications of a plan but more importantly the business considerations. We start and end with the business-need and only once we’ve clearly understood what that is, does the technical conversation start. Our only measure of success is whether the business improved and met the goals of the plan.
