Sales Intelligence & Automation

Stop Adapting to Software.
Make Software Adapt to You.

Most CRMs fail because they are too rigid or too complex. We build Modified CRM Solutions that fit your exact sales process like a glove. Centralize data, automate follow-ups, and close deals faster with a system engineered for your business.

The Hidden Cost of "Generic" CRMs

Most businesses in Dubai start their digital journey with good intentions. They subscribe to a popular, global CRM platform like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive, expecting instant organization and sales growth. However, three months later, the reality sets in. The software is powerful, but it's designed for a Silicon Valley SaaS company, not a Real Estate firm in Business Bay or a Trading Company in Jebel Ali.

When software doesn't match your workflow, friction occurs. Sales teams stop logging calls because "it takes too many clicks." Managers stop checking dashboards because the data is incomplete. You end up paying monthly subscription fees for a glorified address book that nobody updates.

  • Low Adoption Rates: If the system is hard to use, your team will revert to Excel and WhatsApp, leaving management in the dark.
  • Disconnected Data Silos: The CRM sits alone. It doesn't talk to your Outlook email, your accounting software (Xero/QuickBooks), or your marketing tools, forcing manual data entry.
  • Irrelevant Terminology: You are stuck with fields like "Leads" and "Opportunities" when your business actually deals with "Patients," "Tenants," "Students," or "Distributors."

IT-Fort provides the antidote. We don't just sell licenses; we modify the CRM to fit your reality. We strip away the bloat, rename the fields, automate the busy work, and ensure the system works for you, not against you.

Our Methodology

What Does "Modified" Actually Mean?

It means we tear down the default settings and rebuild the system infrastructure to mirror your actual business operations.

1. Custom Modules & Fields

We delete the standard "Deals" module and create custom modules relevant to you. If you are in Real Estate, we build "Property Listings" and "Landlords." If you are in Logistics, we build "Shipments" and "Customs Clearance." The data fields capture exactly what you need—Passport Expiry, Cheque Numbers, or Trade License details—no more, no less.

2. Approval Hierarchies

Control your pricing and discounts. We engineer approval workflows where a sales agent can create a quote, but if the discount exceeds 10%, it automatically locks and triggers an approval request to the Sales Manager's phone. This protects your margins without slowing down the sales process.

3. Localized Logic

Business in the UAE has specific requirements. We implement "Cheque Management" modules to track post-dated cheques (PDC) and set reminders for banking dates. We configure VAT-compliant invoice templates (5%) that can be generated and emailed directly from the CRM with one click.

Engineered for Revenue

Features that drive growth, not just data storage.

Workflow Automation

Never let a lead go cold. We set up "If/Then" logic. If a lead enters the system, then send a welcome email immediately. If no reply in 3 days, then create a task for the sales agent to call.

💬

WhatsApp Integration

In the UAE, business happens on WhatsApp. We integrate the official WhatsApp Business API directly into your CRM. Logs chats automatically, send templates, and centralized communication so data isn't lost on personal phones.

📊

Custom Dashboards

CEOs don't need raw data; they need insights. We build custom visual dashboards showing Pipeline Value, Conversion Rates by Agent, and Revenue Forecasts vs. Targets. Know your business health at a glance.

🔗

3rd Party API Sync

Your CRM shouldn't be an island. We build custom API connectors to sync data with your ERP (SAP/Oracle), Accounting (Xero), or Marketing tools (Mailchimp), creating a "Single Source of Truth."

🔒

Role-Based Security

Protect your client database. We configure granular permissions so junior sales staff only see their own leads, while managers see the full team view. Prevents data theft and export.

📱

Mobile Optimization

Sales happens in the field. We optimize the mobile app interface of your CRM so your team can log meetings, scan business cards, and update deal stages while sitting in the client's parking lot.

IT-Fort Security Standard

Your Data, Fortified.

As a company deeply rooted in Cyber Security services, we do not treat CRM security as an afterthought. We apply the same rigorous standards to your sales data as we do to network infrastructure.

Data Residency: For government and semi-government clients in the UAE, we ensure data hosting complies with local regulations, utilizing UAE-based data centers (like AWS Middle East or Azure UAE North) to keep your sensitive information within the country borders.

Audit Trails: Every action in the system is logged. If a user deletes a contact, exports a list, or changes a deal value, the system records the "Who, What, and When." This provides total accountability and deters internal data theft.

The Connected Ecosystem

A CRM cannot function in isolation. We turn it into the central hub of your business by connecting it to the tools you already use every day.

📞

Telephony & VoIP

Click-to-call directly from the CRM. Automatically record calls and log them under the client's profile for quality assurance.

💰

Finance & Accounts

Sync with Xero, QuickBooks, or Zoho Books. When a deal is won, an invoice is automatically generated, bridging sales and finance.

📧

Marketing Automation

Connect Mailchimp or HubSpot Marketing. See exactly which email campaigns a lead opened before you call them.

Our Implementation Roadmap

1. Discovery & Blueprinting

We don't touch software yet. We sit with your sales team, shadow your managers, and map out your ideal process on a whiteboard. We identify bottlenecks and define the data fields you actually need.

2. Configuration & Customization

Our engineers configure the CRM. We remove the bloat, rename fields to match your industry jargon (e.g., changing "Deal" to "Tenancy Contract"), set up the automation rules, and build your report dashboards.

3. Data Migration & Integration

The scary part—made safe. We clean your messy Excel sheets or export data from your old legacy system, deduplicate it, and import it into the new system. Then, we connect your email, website forms, and WhatsApp.

4. Training & Adoption

The most critical step. We run hands-on workshops with your team. We don't leave until every sales agent feels comfortable creating a lead and logging a call. We provide "Cheat Sheets" and video tutorials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which CRM platforms do you work with?
We are platform agnostic but specialize in Zoho CRM, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Odoo. For businesses with highly unique needs, we also build custom CRM web applications using React and Node.js. We recommend the best platform based on your budget and complexity.
How long does implementation take?
A basic "Quick Start" implementation for small teams (5-10 users) typically takes 2-3 weeks. Enterprise implementations with complex API integrations and data migration can take 6-12 weeks. We provide a strict timeline during the discovery phase.
My sales team hates using CRMs. How do you fix this?
They hate it because it feels like data entry work. We fix this by automating the data entry (email logging, auto-fill company details) and by simplifying the interface. If it helps them sell faster rather than slowing them down, they will use it.
Can you migrate our data from Excel?
Yes. Data migration is a standard part of our service. We clean, format, and deduplicate your Excel or Google Sheets data before importing it to ensure you start with a clean database.
Do I pay a one-time fee or monthly subscription?
For the software license itself (e.g., Zoho or Salesforce), you pay the vendor directly on a subscription basis. For our services (Implementation, Customization, Training), we charge a one-time project fee. We also offer optional Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for ongoing support.
Is there a mobile app included?
Yes. All the major CRM platforms we deploy come with powerful native mobile apps for iOS and Android. Your field sales team can access client data, scan business cards, and log meeting notes even when they are offline.
