Custom software and CRM

Four capabilities that usually arrive together. Most engagements start with one and end up touching two or three, because the problem is rarely where the brief says it is.

The business problem

Configuration runs out before the business does.

Every CRM is configurable until the point your process stops matching the vendor's assumptions. Then the workarounds start: the spreadsheet beside the system, the field used for something it was never named for, the rule everyone knows but nobody wrote down.

01

The stages don't describe the work

A pipeline built for a generic sale, applied to a business that qualifies, underwrites and funds.

02

Ownership is a convention

Who works what is decided in a group chat, not by a rule the system enforces.

03

The reporting is reconstructed

Numbers assembled by hand each month, because the system was never asked to record what mattered.

Who this is for

Businesses with a process worth protecting.

Usually a sales floor, an intake team, or an operation where the sequence of steps is the product. If your process is generic, buy something off the shelf — we'll tell you so.

Questions

What people ask before starting.

How long before we see something working?

Weeks, not quarters. We ship in slices, so a real user is working in real software early — usually the intake path first, because it is the part where being wrong is cheapest to correct.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. The repository is created in your organisation at the start rather than transferred at the end, which is the arrangement that goes wrong.

Do you take commission on software you recommend?

No. No commission, referral fee or partner margin on anything we recommend — which is what makes the recommendation worth having.

What happens when the build is finished?

The engineers who built it stay on to run it. There is no handover to a support tier you have never met.
