Change · CRM & data

Your CRM is a database.
Make it an asset.

We pick the right CRM, redesign the process inside it, clean and match the data, and build the reports that finally answer the question. HubSpot, Salesforce, Dynamics, SuiteCRM, FibreCRM, InterAction — whichever wins.

The data, before and after

A CRM that runs on trustworthy records,
not vibes.

One real engagement, anonymised. 86,400 accounts in a legal services firm's HubSpot. We deduped, matched against Companies House, enriched the gaps, and retired the records nobody was ever going to call.

What we mean

We do the bits resellers won't.

Most "CRM consultants" are resellers. Their job is to sell you their platform. Ours is the messy, unglamorous middle: do you actually need a new CRM, or do you need the one you've got to start working? Either way - we'll match, cleanse, redesign and ship.

WHAT WE DO
  • Audit the CRM you've got before we recommend a new one
  • Match records against Companies House, dedupe at scale
  • Cleanse, normalise and enrich - then keep it clean
  • Redesign the pipeline inside your CRM, not a slide deck
  • Build the three reports the board actually uses
WHAT WE DON'T
  • Resell licences - no reseller margin, no platform bias
  • Recommend a rip-and-replace where a fix will do
  • Ship a clean CRM that re-dirties in three months
  • Charge for 'discovery workshops' before the data is touched
  • Stop at the diagram and leave the implementation to you
Worked rescues

Three CRMs,
brought back.

HubSpot rescue & rebuild

BEFORE

Three years of HubSpot. 86k contacts. 18% duplicate rate. Partners distrusted the pipeline so kept their own spreadsheets.

AFTER

Dedup against Companies House, retired 22k stale records, redesigned the deal stages around their real matter lifecycle. Built 3 board reports.

Salesforce → Dynamics migration

BEFORE

Inherited Salesforce from a merger. 60% of fields unused, 40% of records duplicated across the two firms' legacy data.

AFTER

Audit said don't migrate yet — clean first. A structured dedup, then a cut-over to Dynamics with mapped fields and zero data loss.

Bullhorn data hygiene

Bullhorn with 14 years of candidate data. Stale emails, no consent flags, GDPR exposure flagged in the last audit.

AFTER

Email verification + bounce sweep, opt-in/opt-out reconciliation, automated quarterly hygiene job inside n8n. Now self-maintaining.

The toolkit

We're not a reseller. We pick the right one.

No platform partnerships, no kickbacks, no preferred-vendor list. We have opinions on each of the major CRMs - and we'll tell you which one fits, in the scoping call.

HubSpot
WHEN · SALES + MARKETING IN ONE
  • Modern UX, fast onboarding
  • Strong marketing automation
  • Good API, fair pricing
Our default for 50–300-person professional services firms. Cheap enough to start, capable enough to grow into.
Salesforce
WHEN · COMPLEX SALES, BIG DATA
  • Deep customisation
  • Enterprise integrations
  • Industry clouds (FSC, etc.)
Right when you've outgrown a 'just CRM'. Wrong when nobody on staff will own it. Implementation cost is the real total cost.
Dynamics 365
WHEN · M365-NATIVE TEAMS
  • Lives next to Outlook/Teams
  • Power Platform integration
  • Strong finance/ERP bridge
Best fit for accountancy and operationally complex businesses already deep in Microsoft. Adoption is easier when the UI feels familiar.
Open-source & vertical
WHEN · SELF-HOSTED OR SECTOR-SPECIFIC
  • SuiteCRM (open-source, self-hosted)
  • FibreCRM (accountancy specialist)
  • InterAction · Peppermint · Tikit (legal)
Right when you want data residency, a sector-built UX, or the CRM your peers already use. Often the honest answer for accountancy and legal firms - and the one resellers won't quote.
The deal

Three shapes.
Per CRM project.

Most clients start with the audit. Then commission a clean-up or a replatform once the maths is obvious. Programme is for firms doing both at once. Every engagement is fixed-fee, scoped and quoted per project - no surprises.

ENGAGEMENT SHAPES
AUDIT
CRM & data audit
Health score across your CRM, data quality report, costed shortlist of fixes. Platform recommendation if needed.
1 week
CLEAN-UP
Data cleanse & redesign
Dedupe, match, enrich, redesign the pipeline inside your current CRM. Three board reports built and handed over.
4–6 weeks
PROGRAMME
Migration or full rebuild
Platform selection, data migration, process redesign, training and adoption. Includes 90 days of post-go-live support.
8–14 weeks
What the audit returns
  • Data quality score
    Field completeness, duplicates, staleness, normalisation - one number, scored honestly.
  • Platform fit verdict
    Keep, optimise, or replatform. Costed both ways. No reseller bias.
  • Pipeline & process map
    How your CRM is being used vs how it should be. The gap, in days and £.
  • Costed fix plan
    Cleanse, redesign or migrate - with payback maths by quarter.
If the audit shows your CRM is fine and a clean-up will do, we say so. About one in three audits ends with "fix what you have, don't replatform" - usually the cheaper answer, and the one we'd quote regardless.
How we work

Five steps. No mystery.

The audit comes first. Then we match, cleanse, redesign and hand over — with timing and scope agreed up front for each engagement.

STEP 01
Audit
Profile every field. Score every record. Map the pipeline as it really is. Score, not vibes.
STEP 02
Match
Records vs Companies House, vs internal masters, vs each other. Dedup with explainable rules — not black-box AI.
STEP 03
Cleanse
Normalise, enrich, retire. Email verification, address standardisation, consent flags reconciled.
STEP 04
Redesign
Pipeline stages, fields, automations and reports that match how you actually sell. Or migrate to a better-fit platform.
STEP 05
Hand over
Owner training. Quarterly hygiene runbook. Optional ongoing data stewardship if you'd rather we kept it clean.
What you get

Six things on the desk at handover.

Every CRM project ships the same kit. The clean database is just one of them.

Data quality report
Field-by-field health score, duplicate audit, staleness map. Baseline + post-clean delta.
Clean, matched database
Dedup against Companies House, normalised fields, verified emails, retired junk. Explainable - not black-box.
Redesigned pipeline
Deal stages, required fields, automations and ownership that match how you actually sell. Inside your CRM, ready to use.
Three reports that matter
Board dashboard, sales pipeline, marketing attribution. Built in the CRM, automated, accurate.
Owner training
Two sessions: end-users on how to keep records clean, leaders on how to read the reports. Recorded for new hires.
Quarterly hygiene runbook
How to dedup again in 90 days, scripts and queries included. So the clean-up doesn't undo itself.
Receipts

Less talking. More shipping.

From four FTEs reviewing AML files by hand - to one reviewer, 12 minutes per file.

A 240-person UK accountancy was burning four FTEs on AML onboarding, with a 78% first-pass error rate. They'd already had two prior AI initiatives die in slide decks. We scoped it in week one, shipped to staging by week three, and went live in week six.

"AssurePath had something running in our staging tenant by week three. We'd had two prior 'AI initiatives' that died in slide decks."

FAQ

Questions we answer in the audit.

Eight of the questions clients ask before commissioning a CRM clean-up or migration.

Both - and we'll tell you which in the audit. About one in three audits ends with 'fix what you have, don't replatform' because the platform isn't usually the problem. The data and the process are. When a new CRM is the right answer, we say so, we run the selection, and we migrate. We're not a reseller, so there's no platform bias either way.
