GrowBeyond Tech
About Customer
V AIM Group previously relied on spreadsheets to manage leads, sales follow-up, campaign activity and performance tracking. Without a centralized system, the team had limited visibility across the lead-to-deal pipeline and depended on manual updates to coordinate sales and marketing activities.
GrowBeyond Tech implemented Zoho CRM Plus and Marketing Automation, supported by Zoho Social, PageSense, dashboards and Analytics. The engagement covered process discovery, configuration, workflow and Blueprint automation, customer journeys, reporting, testing, training and go-live support.
V AIM Group engaged GrowBeyond Tech to replace spreadsheet-based sales and marketing tracking with a connected Zoho solution. The implementation focused on:
- Centralizing lead, contact, account and deal information in Zoho CRM Plus.
- Automating lead-to-deal processes through workflows and Blueprint.
- Designing customer journeys and reusable campaign templates in Marketing Automation.
- Connecting Zoho Social, PageSense and Analytics for engagement and performance visibility.
Challenge
- Spreadsheet dependency: Lead and sales information was maintained across spreadsheets without a unified operational tracker.
- Lead-to-deal invisibility: The team lacked a consistent view of lead progression, follow-up status and deal movement across the sales pipeline.
- Manual sales processes: Lead assignments, follow-ups and stage progression depended on manual actions, increasing the risk of inconsistent execution.
- Fragmented marketing execution: Campaign planning, customer nurturing and social activity were not connected to one structured customer journey.
- Limited performance visibility: Website behavior, campaign engagement and sales performance were difficult to analyze through a single reporting view.
Our Approach
GrowBeyond Tech conducted process discussions to document the As-Is sales and marketing workflow. The assessment covered lead capture, qualification, follow-up, deal progression, customer journeys, campaign execution, social activity, website engagement and management reporting.
The review confirmed that the requirements could be addressed through Zoho-native capabilities. The design prioritized structured CRM data, workflow and Blueprint controls, connected lead-to-deal stages, automated marketing journeys, digital engagement tracking and consolidated dashboards, reducing dependence on spreadsheet-based trackers.
