With robust customisation and a focus on scalability, the ERP implementation helped Chaps & Co. achieve operational excellence, saving time and redefining HR and operational efficiency.

With over 20 years of global recruitment experience, Mint specialises in IT, Cyber Security, and Games Industry recruitment across the UK and Middle East, focusing on collaborative partnerships with clients and candidates.

FuturByte addressed these challenges by migrating and optimising Mint’s website to WordPress, improving site speed, SEO, and overall user experience, which led to increased traffic and a stronger online presence. The success of the project was driven by close collaboration with Mint’s team, achieving a modernised digital presence with enhanced mobile access, real-time updates, and robust data security.

SmartBox, a forward-thinking construction company specialising in containerised solutions, sought to refine lead generation and fortify the synergy between sales and marketing. The mission was to transition into a more data-centric organisation, optimising CRM capabilities.  

The Challenge

SmartBox faced several challenges that needed attention. First, they specialise in building houses from containers, and they wanted to figure out where their potential customers were coming from on platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook. They also needed accurate tracking of their marketing campaigns, including those sent through email. To make things easier for their sales and marketing teams, they wanted all lead information organised up to the level of Bills of Quantities (BoQs). These difficulties pushed SmartBox to look for ways to streamline and improve its business operations.  

The Solution

Addressing SmartBox’s challenges, FuturByte executed a customised CRM solution using SugarCRM functionality with custom developments. We created plans to meet SmartBox’s specific needs. We developed custom modules in SugarCRM to make it easier to create Bills of Quantities (BoQs) proposals and keep thorough track of proposal interactions. We improved the sales process and set up reports to better understand everything from when a lead starts to when they become a customer.  

We also made things run more smoothly by introducing efficient workflows and automation, making the process of managing a customer simpler. Plus, we seamlessly integrated Foursquare reviews to boost SmartBox’s online presence and get a better view of how customers interact online.   

The Results

SmartBox experienced a significant increase in finding potential customers by improving its lead generation process and keeping track of everything. The collaboration between sales and marketing teams got stronger, making it easier for them to work together. We also simplified and automated tasks for efficiency, ensuring SmartBox’s brand consistency throughout the customer journey. 

SmartBox now uses its CRM system as a powerful tool for managing relationships with customers, offering a complete view of interactions for a more personalised approach.
