Business challenge

Contract renewals and field work lived in separate tools

The business serves both households and corporate clients, and much of its revenue depends on maintenance contracts being renewed on time. Sales, field technicians, projects, HR and finance worked in separate tools, and customers expected to reach the company on WhatsApp. Management needed one connected view from the first enquiry to the final invoice.

Project scope

What the engagement covered

A connected Zoho ecosystem covering sales, field service, projects, people, payroll, website chat and finance, with WhatsApp Business as a cross-cutting communication layer.

  • Bigin with separate B2C and B2B pipelines and contract-renewal workflows
  • Zoho FSM for work orders and technician visits
  • Zoho Projects for installation jobs, linked to Zoho Books
  • Zoho People and Zoho Payroll for the technician workforce
  • Zoho SalesIQ for website chat
  • WhatsApp Business integration layer
