OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CRMiUM?

CRMiUM helped us deal with growth issues. Our CRM wasn't able to deal with the requirements we needed. We required a professional solution to build a CRM system with some specific functions, especially for recruiters and sourcers. We wanted to intagrete the CRM with HR automation.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

They were recommended to us by a partner. This vendor was referred to us as being a superior knowledge provider in CRM consulting and SI.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

CRMiUM developed the CRM and HR systems especially for us. I was impressed with how deeply they immerse into the project and study all the aspects of the business processes to create the proper concept of our company. During joint calls, we discussed step by step how to build the most convenient and effective system starting with the sources of attracting leads and channels for finding candidates, and ending with the intricacies of concluding contracts and invoicing clients.

We have defined the sequence of actions and statuses, as well as the roles in the system and access levels. A separate important component of the work was the system for recruiters. I was really pleased with the possibility of implementing functionality for marketing, as well as setting up analytics and reports that allow us to better track our work and get accurate statistics.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The team includes 7 people. At first, we mainly communicated with the project manager and the account manager. Further, we closely discussed the HR issues with the team led by the HR Automation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

All I want to say is that CRMiUM was able to put everything in order for us, which helped us become more organized and finally get the full image of our business processes. I found CRMiUM team as a very reliable and enthusiastic partner, with great specialists who really know and love working with Zoho. They have perfect knowledge about this approach and technologies, and give us a lot of useful tips.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

All the project's tasks, the current plan and documents are recorded in the system Zoho Projects. All the work correspondence is recorded in the common Telegram chat. All the final agreements and important decisions are dublicated in the Telegram chat and by email.

Once a week, we received a letter with the current project's status, as well as the balance of the purchased and worked hours to discuss the strategy. Almost every week, joint sessions on ZOOM or Google Meet were agreed and scheduled to demonstrate the progress of the project and make decisions on contentious issues.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They selected the Zoho CRM that perfectly suits our business needs, and customized our software using the best practices in the industry.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The job they do is excellent. We are satisfied with all the aspects of our cooperation with CRMIUM.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CRMiUM?

Our company was just starting its activity and there was a need to automate business processes. And we decided to implement a CRM system simultaneously with the start of sales.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We have been looking for a contractor for a long time, as we needed to find the optimal CRM solution. CRMiUM caught our attention as they implement different systems and can choose the one that perfectly covers the needs of my business and I do not have to overpay for features that I will not use.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Crmium implemented these systems: Zoho CRM, CRM Mobile app for Android & iOS, Zoho Books, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Analytics, Zoho Flow. Thanks to the introduction of the above systems, we have established the processes of working with regular customers and order forming, sales managers can trace the status of the order directly from CRM.

The distribution of orders between three storages has been set up within a warehouse account. In case one or another product ends up in a certain storage, an order for delivery is created automatically. Analytics for the orders from clients has been implemented, sum and amount of orders, sum of all payments from every client, remaining debt, average check, total profit from every client, and a stage client’s life cycle.

In addition to all of the above, we have integrated Ringcentral telephony. The possibility of fixing calls in the card of the corresponding client was implemented. Google calendar has been integrated to create appointments between managers and clients.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They were fast and responsive, perfectly meeting our project management expectations. We often had stand-ups with their project manager talking to the rest of the team.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Crmium has always tried to come up with creative ways for ensuring we achieved our goal. Other integrators told us it couldn't be done, but that was simply because they didn't know how to do it.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

This is somewhat out of their control, but I would like the cost of licenses to be cheaper.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a VP of People at a Food Delivery company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CRMiUM?

Our company was quickly growing with launching operations in 7 European countries, so we needed an HRM system and a consultancy on its implementation and configuration. We needed to structurize our onboarding, performance appraisals, 360 assessments, absence accounting, and offboarding processes. The goal was to scale our processes using HRMS for all 8 countries including all differences in local law.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the customer success manager of a moving services company. I control the quality and the quantity of the jobs with my agents.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CRMiUM?

We hired CRMiUM to do CRM consulting and implementation for automation for our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CRMiUM has done a pretty good job at automating our CRM program. From confirmation of interest to fixing specific workers and the transportation, the process of our leads was well done, and it helped our logistic department.

They also managed to set up the complex process of signing the contract with our clients after work is completed with automatic real-time recording of each stage and the calculation of the final cost.

In addition to that, they set up the possibility of online payment by signing the contract and implementing the inventory control of customers.

Regarding technologies, they've used ZOHO for the implementation of our CRM.

What is the team composition?

We've only worked with their CFO.

How did you come to work with CRMiUM?

Our owner found them and got in touch with them.

How much have you invested with them?

So far we have spent $10,000–$25,000 on the project.

What is the status of the engagement?

We began working with them in October 2019, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The CRM system is very fast; the leads from all the received sources fall into a single database. Our agents instantly process applications according to the procedure depending on the source. Overall, it's very easy to use the CRM program, and we like that, so that's why we're still using them.

How did CRMiUM perform from a project management standpoint?

They perform very well; they're never late in delivering whatever we need from them. Their team is also responsive and available when we need them. Regarding communication, we use phone calls and emails.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We like the CRM program that we are using; it's pretty easy to use, understandable, and very useful for our agents and the people from logistics. It makes our job much easier than it used to be before.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They are great with the execution of the project, so I have no complaints.

Any advice for potential customers?

Be in constant communication with them throughout the entire project and manage the project together as a team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO and Founder of BotsBand. We're a chatbot development company that's been in business for over four years.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CRMiUM?

We were using an AMA-CRM system that was based in Russia, and we were severing our ties because of their invasion of Ukraine. Pipedrive CRM is our chosen solution, and CRMiUM helped us with the migration. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I explained the case that I needed to solve, and they asked a few questions and reviewed both of the CRM systems. They then presented their solution of how the new CRM would look after the migration.

We made some minor changes. They calculated the value and time of the implementation of this project and we both agreed. They asked a few questions just to understand the requirements well. 

It about two to three weeks to three weeks to migrate with all the resources and implementations.

We had a lot of clients — a lot of projects that were finished and closed, some projects that were ongoing, and some projects that were scheduled for the future. There were about 300–400 contracts, 1000 contacts, 300–400 companies, and 400–500 tasks migrated. Every data was migrated, and none were compromised. There was a duplication of contacts but CRMiUM found a way to merge them together.

What is the team composition?

We worked with about five people from their end but my main point of contact was the project manager. Their CTO, an account manager, a project manager, and the founder of the company were involved as well. 

How did you come to work with CRMiUM?

We met them at a business school about five years ago. I was just starting my company then, and they were also growing company but a bit bigger than us already.

I saw the good results of their SMM on Facebook and thought that they might be the right company to work with. We made a few calls, and I decided to take them on. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent a little bit more than $2,000 on the project.

What is the status of the engagement?

We began our partnership in March 2022 and the project was delivered in April of that same year.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The best metric is the number of contracts, time, processes, tasks, and companies that they migrated.

CRMiUM did a great job researching and understanding the two different systems; there were a lot of differences but all the contact records were migrated properly. Nothing was compromised.

How did CRMiUM perform from a project management standpoint?

They delivered each task on the timeline that was agreed, and there were never any delays. They also worked within budget.

Their team was great with communication; they were always online. Even if I messaged them after business hours, they always answered me.

We used Asana to manage and track our project and communicated via email, Google Meet, and Telegram.

What did you find most impressive about them?

CRMiUM's people went deep into the task and understood it quite well. They spent a good amount of time doing research, which made the implementation quick and perfect.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their work was perfect; there's nothing they can work on.

Any advice for potential customers?

Understand the requirements before presenting them to the vendor. Get to know your project in-depth.

CRMium helped us to setup Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho Connect, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Flow and other products (including Telegram, gmail, Google Calendars, etc) into one eco system. Full automations on different levels were provided and it helped us a lot!

Maybe deliver a little faster without loosing the quality. But we are happy with the result we have!

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I worked for a Ukrainian home-and-office water delivery service company. I was the firm’s CEO at the time of this collaboration.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CRMiUM?

One of our goals was to communicate with our customers regularly through different channels, such as email and push notifications. So, we hired them to help us implement a CRM system that would allow us to do so.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CRMiUM provided support until the successful implementation of the CRM system. First, they helped us with formulating our expectations and goals for the system. Then, they helped us create an implementation plan, including the time and resources. Once that was done, they started writing code and programming everything to synchronize our internal accounting system with the CRM system, which took a few months. They also helped us test the program. Zoho Creator and Zoho CRM were used as the platform.

The system allowed us to manage our customer relations — specifically, it helped with constructing user flows for communication with our customers on things like reminders of new orders and so on.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 5–7 people from the CRMiUM team: Pablo (Founder & CEO), an account manager, analyst, a business manager, and three developers.

How did you come to work with CRMiUM?

We met them at an exhibition and asked them a few questions. We then invited them to our office. After doing some market research on other companies with similar services, we decided that they were the best fit for this project.

How much have you invested with them?

Their estimated cost, including the license, was between $40,000–$50,000. The license was about $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–December 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Our retention rate went up, as well as the rate of returning customers. We also saw an increase in the conversion rate from the first purchase to the second one and so on. We’ve also received good feedback from our colleagues that work with the system — they said its a lot easier to use compared to their previous software. 

How did CRMiUM perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed quite well in terms of meeting the deadlines that they specified. We communicated through Telegram and email. We also worked with a project management software called Worksection. There were a few delays, but they were situations that generally didn’t affect the project at all.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their CEO really helped us in a big way to understand what we needed. When we were defining our requirements, their CEO attended all of our initial meetings. Thanks to his involvement, we were able to understand what we wanted from the software and what it could deliver to our company. Also, their team consisted of true experts in this field. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything that they need to improve on — we were satisfied with everything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to always be in touch with them at every stage of the project. The transparency of all processes should be very good in order to have a successful engagement.
