Case Study 2 — CRM & Pipeline Modernisation

Challenge

A commercial team had inconsistent pipeline hygiene, duplicated leads across systems, and unreliable reporting. Leadership lacked confidence in forecasts and conversion rates.

What Zextec did:

  • Standardised lifecycle stages and definitions (lead → qualified → proposal → close)
  • Implemented automated lead routing and response SLAs
  • Created a “single source of truth” dashboard for pipeline and activity
  • Added AI-assisted call notes and next-step suggestions for reps

Result

  • Improved reporting reliability through consistent stage definitions and required fields
  • Reduced time-to-first-response using automated routing and prioritisation
  • Increased accountability with weekly cadence and KPI tracking

Typical metrics tracked: response time, stage conversion, win rate, forecast variance, Data & Reporting.
