Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We are an automobile parts distribution business with over 30 years of
operations. We distribute to workshops, dealerships, and independent
mechanics across our region. Since 2010 we have been incorporating
technology into our operations, starting with basic digital records and
progressively moving toward more structured tools.
By the time we approached Beyonra, we were managing our customer
relationships through a combination of spreadsheets and a standard
off-the-shelf CRM that had never properly fit the way our business
actually operates. The CRM was generic — built for a broad range of
businesses — and required us to adapt our process to the software rather
than the other way around.
The problems this created were practical and expensive. Follow-ups with
active accounts were being missed because there was no reliable system
flagging them. Reorder cycles — which in auto parts distribution are
highly predictable if you track them properly — were not being
monitored, so we were losing repeat business to competitors simply
because we were not reaching out at the right time. We also had no
clear way to distinguish which customers were genuinely profitable once
all costs were factored in versus which ones generated volume but low
margin.
A close business associate who had previously engaged Beyonra referred
us. We had an initial conversation with Aman and Vishal and they did not
lead with a product pitch. They asked detailed questions about how our
orders moved, how our sales team interacted with customers day to day,
what data we were currently capturing and what we were not, and where
the friction points were in our existing process. That conversation gave
us confidence that they were approaching this as a business problem
rather than a software sale.
The scope of work covered the following:
DISCOVERY AND PROCESS MAPPING
Beyonra conducted a thorough discovery phase covering our full customer
lifecycle — from first enquiry through to ordering, fulfilment,
follow-up, and account review. They mapped how our sales team worked in
practice, not just in theory, and identified the exact points where
information was being lost or not captured at all.
CUSTOM CRM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
Based on the discovery work, Beyonra designed and built a custom CRM
system built around our specific distribution model. This was not an
existing platform with modifications. It was built from the ground up
to reflect how our business actually operates.
Key deliverables within the CRM build included:
— Complete customer profile management with full order history, contact
records, account notes, and relationship timeline in a single unified
view
— Reorder tracking and automated follow-up flagging based on each
customer's actual ordering pattern and cycle, so the sales team receives
prompts at the right time rather than relying on memory or manual
spreadsheet checks
— Account performance dashboard showing revenue, order frequency,
average order value, and margin contribution per account — giving us
the ability to distinguish genuinely profitable accounts from
high-volume low-margin ones for the first time
— Sales team task management integrated directly into the CRM so
pending follow-ups, calls, and account reviews are tracked in one place
rather than across separate tools
— Reporting layer giving management a clear view of team activity,
pipeline status, and account health without having to request updates
from individual salespeople
MARGIN AND REVENUE ANALYSIS
During the build process Aman and Vishal identified a structural issue
in how we were pricing certain repeat customer accounts. A segment of
accounts we considered reliable were being serviced at terms that were
eroding our margin in ways that were not visible under our old reporting
setup. This finding was documented and we adjusted our pricing structure
accordingly.
TEAM ONBOARDING AND HANDOVER
Once the CRM was built and tested, Beyonra worked directly with our
sales team to onboard them onto the new system. They ran walkthroughs,
answered questions, and remained available during the initial period of
live use to address anything that came up in practice.
The full engagement ran from initial discovery through to live
deployment and team onboarding. Aman and Vishal were present and
responsive throughout every phase.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We were not expecting to see results within the first two weeks.
That is genuinely what happened.
Within 15 days of going live on the CRM, our internal team efficiency
increased by approximately 35 percent. That is not a number we
calculated through a formal process it is what we observed directly.
Tasks that previously required back and forth between team members,
manual checks across spreadsheets, and repeated phone calls to confirm
order status were now handled in a fraction of the time. People knew
what they needed to do, when they needed to do it, and where to find
the information to do it.
The coordination improvement was the most immediate and visible change.
Before the CRM, our sales team and operations side were essentially
working from different versions of reality. Someone in sales would
confirm a follow-up had been done. Someone in the back end would have
no record of it. Orders would move forward without the right account
notes being visible to the person handling them. Small breakdowns, but
they added up across dozens of accounts every week.
After go-live that friction largely disappeared. Everyone is working
from the same system, the same customer records, and the same task
list. When a follow-up is due it appears automatically. When an order
is updated the relevant team member can see it immediately. There is no
longer a version of the customer sitting in one person's spreadsheet
that nobody else can access.
For a business that has operated for over 30 years, changing how the
team works is not a small thing. Our people are not young and they are
not naturally drawn to new technology. The fact that adoption was
smooth and the efficiency gain showed up within 15 days tells you
something about how well the system was built to fit the way we
actually operate , not the other way around.
We are still in the early stages of tracking the longer term outcomes
around repeat business and margin recovery. But based on what we have
seen in the first few weeks alone, the return on this investment is not
in question.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Project management was one of the stronger aspects of working with
Beyonra and honestly not what we expected going in. We have worked with
IT vendors before where the communication drops off after the initial
meetings and you spend more time chasing updates than actually moving
forward. That was not the experience here.
Aman and Vishal set clear expectations from the beginning about what
each phase of the project would involve and what they needed from us
at each stage. The communication was primarily through WhatsApp and
calls, which suited us well given that our team is not sitting in front
of email all day. They adjusted to how we work rather than asking us
to adjust to a formal process that did not fit our environment.
Updates were consistent and came without us having to ask for them.
If something was completed, we heard about it. If something required
a decision or input from our side, they flagged it clearly and did not
let it sit. That kind of proactive communication kept the project
moving at a pace we did not expect.
Every deliverable was completed on time. There were no surprises, no
last-minute extensions, and no situations where we were waiting on
something that had been promised by a certain date. For a business
like ours where operations do not stop while a software project is
running, that reliability mattered a great deal.
What stood out most in terms of responsiveness was that Aman and
Vishal were available when it actually counted. During the go-live
phase when our team was using the system for the first time in a live
environment, both of them were reachable quickly whenever a question
came up. No ticket system, no waiting for a response window. They
treated our go-live as something they were personally invested in,
not just a handover checklist to complete.
The 360 Revenue Intelligence Report phase was handled with the same
approach. The findings were presented clearly, the logic behind each
observation was explained properly, and they made time to walk through
the implications with us rather than leaving us with a document to
interpret on our own.
Overall the project management was straightforward
What was your primary form of communication with Beyonra?
- In-Person Meeting
- Virtual Meeting
- Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What stood out to us was their approach. We were initially unsure since they are a relatively new company, but they came recommended by a close friend who had already worked with them. After speaking with Aman and Vishal, we felt more confident because they focused on understanding our business in detail instead of selling a ready-made solution. That practical and grounded approach made the difference.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Beyonra could have done differently?
Since this was a custom system built around our workflow, the initial discovery phase took some time. While it was necessary, a slightly faster turnaround in the early stages would have helped. Other than that, the overall experience was smooth and well managed.
