The customer relationship management had to be optimized. In the course of this, the managing director of the company, Alexander Ramseier, decided to use the Zoho One software solution. Currently, Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho Forms and Zoho Bookings are used for the digital mapping and control of various business processes.

For a long time, Mr. Ramseier has been striving to present the service portfolio of Futurebuilt GmbH in a clear and structured way. In doing so, his approach as “translator and bridge builder between technology and people” should be clearly in focus. For this, a new web presence seemed ideal to him. Furthermore, there was a need for a contact form for lead acquisition. This in combination with the need for an online appointment setting tool on the new website increased the interest in a high-performance CRM system. Thus, the entrepreneur’s overall goal is to use an interlocking system. This should not only save time through automation, but also significantly improve sales processes. Zoho One offers the ideal solution here.

Implementation and results of Zoho One.

Together with CEYOND GmbH, Futurebuilt evaluated the company’s current situation and conducted a needs assessment. Based on this, the consulting firm decided on a multifaceted software solution. The modules Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho Forms and Zoho Bookings were used. 

In the first step, an organization was created in Zoho CRM and user and core settings were made. Next, a suitable field structure for the Leads, Contacts and Deals modules was developed and defined. In the third step, existing customer data was migrated from the previously used CRM system Salesforce to Zoho and data cleansing was performed. Based on this, the deals pipeline was configured and various workflows were created. Furthermore, CEYOND supported Futurebuilt in the integration between the Zoho CRM and the Zoho Books module. In addition, an invoice template design was created within the accounting tool. Furthermore, the data migration of old invoices and the development of a custom script for automatic invoice numbers for the two number ranges Switzerland and Austria took place. In the Zoho Forms module, six different web forms were created and integrated into the WordPress website. In addition, integration with CRM and tagging workflows was performed. In addition, Zoho Bookings enabled the integration of the appointment booking tool into the website, a link with Google Calendar, and the setup of mail automations.

The implementation of the Zoho One Suite and configuration of the individual tools brought positive results. Alexander Ramseier is now able to use the modules independently. He also optimizes various work processes in terms of time and cost efficiency. The time savings are particularly noticeable in invoicing. In addition, the switch from Salesforce to Zoho brought with it a significant reduction in costs. Zoho currently enables Futurebuilt GmbH to digitally map and manage appointment and contact requests in a categorized manner. The consulting firm’s customer relationship management has thus been revolutionized.
