01

Business Challenge

  • Existing CRM couldn't handle more than 2 million records without slowing down.
  • Custom workflows required expensive add-ons and still didn't fit their process.
  • Sales teams in different time zones couldn't see real-time updates.
  • Reporting was limited and couldn't generate custom analytics.
  • API limitations prevented integration with their marketing automation platform.
02

Our Approach

We built a custom Laravel-based CRM from the ground up, designed for scale from day one. We used PostgreSQL with proper indexing and query optimization. We implemented Laravel's queue system for background processing and built a real-time sync system using WebSockets. The architecture follows microservices principles for future scalability.

Phase 01

Discovery & alignment

Workshops, process and systems review, success metrics.

Phase 02

Design & planning

Architecture, experience and workflow design, delivery plan.

Phase 03

Build & validation

Phase 04

Go-live & enablement
