Case study Vital Communities Land lease & lifestyle communities

One easy hub instead of spreadsheets and inboxes.

Staff found the existing systems hard to use, so day-to-day work lived in spreadsheets and Outlook inboxes.

  • ChallengeOne easy-to-use hub for every staff member, integrated with the rest of the business's systems.
  • What we didBuilt a custom CRM to replace Salesforce, connected to the rest of their systems. Also rebuilt the website and brought in 3CX and Podium for calls and messages.
  • ResultA system staff use much more extensively than the old one, and savings on Salesforce licensing.

4 hourseach week

After · connected

  1. Xero and CRM sync automatically
  2. Data is already up to date
  3. Pull the report and send it

25 minuteseach week

4 h − 25 min = 3 h 35 min saved a week × 48 working weeks ≈ 172 hours a year, for one employee, in this example
