    Services / CRM

    CRM done honestly — including when the answer is 'don't'.

    Salesforce and other CRMs implemented, stabilised, rationalised — or, when the numbers say so, replaced. Independent, vendor-neutral, and comfortable saying no.

    CRM is where a lot of good ideas go to die: bought too big, extended too far, and eventually feared by the people it was meant to help. We've spent years inside Salesforce, HubSpot, and Dynamics estates. We know when to fix, when to simplify, and when to have the harder conversation about whether the platform is still the right home for the business.

    The problem we hear

    The right CRM decision usually isn't the one your current partner is incentivised to recommend.

    The estate has drifted

    Managed packages, custom code, and years of well-meaning changes have made the CRM slow, expensive, and risky to touch.

    Licences don't match usage

    The seat count, edition mix, and add-ons no longer reflect how the business uses the system. Nobody has run the numbers in years.

    The partner has become the platform

    Every change goes through a third party, at rates that make small improvements not worth requesting.

    How we approach it

    01

    Independent audit

    Licence, code, automation, integration, and usage — reviewed with no allegiance to a vendor or partner.

    02

    Frame the decision

    Stabilise, simplify, migrate, or replace — costed, sequenced, and presented for a board-level decision rather than a delivery workshop.

    03

    Execute the chosen path

    Whether that's licence renegotiation, automation cleanup, integration hardening, or a controlled migration — we deliver, and we hand over.

    04

    Leave you self-sufficient

    Documentation, governance, and internal capability so the CRM is yours to run — not ours to keep billing against.

    What good looks like

    A written, defensible view of what your CRM costs, what it does, and what you should do next.

    Licence and package spend reduced where the audit reveals it's justified.

    A stable, governed CRM that operational teams trust and admins can maintain.

    Independence from any single partner or vendor for future evolution.

    How we help

    Salesforce

    Implementation, licence optimisation, stabilisation, and integration across Sales, Service, and Experience Cloud.

    HubSpot

    Marketing, sales, and service implementation and rationalisation, including migrations to and from other CRMs.

    Microsoft Dynamics

    Dynamics 365 for organisations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, integrated with Azure and M365.

    Bespoke CRM

    Custom CRM when the packaged options are wrong for the business — usually where operational workflow dominates sales cadence.

    Migrations & exits

    Controlled migrations between CRMs with data continuity, parallel run, and clear cutover plans.

    Licence & commercial advisory

    Independent review of contracts, seat mix, and add-ons, with negotiation support where useful.

    Anonymised engagements

    Healthcare CRM stabilisation

    A UK care provider's Salesforce estate had accumulated four managed packages, hundreds of flows, and a growing incident backlog. We ran a structured audit, retired what wasn't earning its keep, and stabilised the remaining automation — giving the ops team back a predictable platform without a full replatform.

    CRM replacement decision

    A recruitment operator had been quoted a large partner-led Salesforce rebuild. Our independent review showed a smaller, custom operational platform integrated with a lighter CRM was better commercial fit — and we delivered it.

    Vignettes are anonymised composites drawn from engagements and product work. No client names, logos, or performance figures are implied.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are you a Salesforce partner?

    We work extensively in Salesforce estates and we operate independently. Where a formal partner is needed for a specific piece of work, we're transparent about how we structure that.

    Would you tell us to leave Salesforce?

    Yes, if the numbers say so. We've done it. We've also told clients to stay when a rebuild wasn't going to pay back.

    Do you migrate from Salesforce to HubSpot or Dynamics?

    Yes, both directions, and we've also migrated to bespoke platforms where CRM wasn't the right home for the operation.

    How is this different from a system integrator?

    We're not incentivised by licences, referrals, or long-running managed service contracts. Our engagements have a defined shape and a defined end.

    Can you run our Salesforce for us?

    For a defined period, yes — but our recommendation is almost always an internal admin capability, with us on call for the harder work.

    Want an independent view of your CRM?

    A focused audit gives you a decision-ready view — including whether the platform you're on is still the right one.
