Our CRM.Built by us, in use every day.

The CRM, service desk and customer portal we built for ourselves, and the system we run our business on today. Sales, delivery, support and billing share one record, so our team and our customers always see the same picture.

  • CRM and sales
  • Service desk
  • Customer portal

Why we built our own

An IT support business juggles a lot: deals and quotes, contracts and renewals, orders and installs, support tickets with response targets, and invoices that have to match all of it. Spread across separate tools, the same customer gets typed in again and again, and nobody is quite sure which copy is right.

So we built one system around how we actually work. Every customer has one record, and everything we do for them hangs off it, from the first enquiry to the last invoice. It is what our whole team uses every day, and what our customers see when they sign in to the customer portal.

One record for

  • Customers, partners, suppliers and their contacts
  • Pipeline, quotes and electronic signatures
  • Contracts, orders, equipment and services
  • Support tickets, changes and major incidents
  • Invoices, billable time and renewals
  • The portal our customers sign in to

What it does

Six areas of the business, one place to work. Everything runs in the browser, on a desk or on a phone.

Sales

From first enquiry to signed agreement, with every step visible on the deal.

  • Pipeline board with a weighted forecast
  • Quotes customers accept online
  • Built-in electronic signatures with a signing certificate
  • New customer checks before anything is quoted
  • The whole sales process shown as one timeline

Delivery

Contracts, orders and visits followed through to the last item installed.

  • Renewal reminders at 90, 60 and 30 days
  • Orders tracked item by item, supplier to install
  • Visits booked against everyone's real availability
  • Customers pick a time that suits them
  • On-site reports with photos and a signature

Service desk

Every support request tracked against the targets in the customer's plan.

  • Emails become tickets automatically
  • Response and fix clocks with early warnings
  • Major incident command with timed updates
  • Change approvals, problems and a knowledge base
  • Service reports and customer satisfaction

Customer portal

Customers sign in with their Microsoft account and see exactly where things stand.

  • Raise and follow tickets, and approve requests
  • Support hours used, equipment and services
  • Invoices to pay online, quotes to accept
  • Documents to sign and files to send us
  • Book a call with their account manager

Billing that runs itself

Invoices worked out from what was agreed and delivered, ready for a person to check.

  • Recurring invoices from contracts, pro rata where needed
  • Billable support time invoiced, prepaid hours used first
  • Usage-based monthly billing for partners and resellers
  • Partner commission statements each quarter
  • Friendly reminders before and after the due date

Fast to use every day

Designed so finding something and changing it takes seconds, not minutes.

  • Search everything, or ask for a list in plain words
  • My work: everything waiting on you in one list
  • A shared calendar of visits, renewals and deadlines
  • Keyboard shortcuts, saved views and board views
  • Works just as well on a phone

Joined up with the tools we already use

Our CRM does not replace good systems that already work. It connects to them, so information flows between them instead of being typed in twice.

Accounting

Quotes and invoices are created in Xero from the CRM, payments flow back on their own, and every PDF is filed against the customer.

Microsoft 365

Sign-in with Microsoft accounts, Outlook calendars and invites, Teams meetings and alerts, and documents filed in SharePoint.

Automatic billing

Subscription and usage data from the platforms we resell is imported automatically and turned into each month's invoices, without anyone re-keying it.

Customer checks

New customers are checked against Companies House, domain records and sanctions lists, with a person signing off every result.

Built to be trusted

A system that holds customer data, contracts and money has to be careful by design. Automation does the legwork, but anything that reaches a customer or changes what they pay is checked by a person first.

Customers can see how our own services are running at any time on our public status page.

How it keeps things safe

  • Microsoft sign-in, with roles deciding who sees what
  • Customers only ever see their own records
  • Internal notes, costs and margins never reach the portal
  • Every change recorded: who, what and when
  • Invoices made as drafts for a person to approve

Could your business use one?

Our CRM is built for an IT business, but the problem it solves is common: the same information typed into several tools, nobody sure which is right, and customers ringing to ask where things stand.

We build systems like this for other businesses, shaped around how you work, connected to the tools you already pay for, and hosted and supported by the same team afterwards.

Good signs you have outgrown your tools

  • The same customer lives in three different places
  • Invoices are built by hand from spreadsheets
  • Customers email to ask what is happening
  • Renewals and deadlines are tracked in someone's head

Talk to a real person.
