Pillar 02 · Automation
A base that stays clean. Operations that run without manual upkeep.
Cleaning is a one-time event. Decay is continuous. Automation keeps your base current after the cleanup: deduplication, enrichment, job-change detection and dormant-contact alerts, with no manual upkeep. And when your processes outgrow what a CRM can do, we replace the pile of no-code scenarios with code that holds: Python, a centralized base, up to a custom app.

Why automation
Without automation, your CRM re-degrades.
A clean base is a snapshot. The day after the cleanup, decay starts again, unless something keeps it current.
annual data-quality decay without active maintenance. Cleaning alone doesn't hold.

Re-decay after the cleanup
Without maintenance, a freshly cleaned base degrades within months.
Manual re-entry eats selling time
Reps patch the CRM by hand instead of working deals.
Contacts quietly go stale
People change jobs; records don't. Campaigns hit dead addresses.
Errors creep back in at entry
No validation at write time means duplicates and bad data re-accumulate.
The cost of inaction
Manual upkeep doesn't scale.

What we automate
The work that keeps a base alive, handled continuously.
- Continuous sync with your data sources
- Deduplication on write, duplicates caught before they land
- Enrichment of critical fields, kept current
- Job-change and company-move detection
- Dormant-contact alerts before campaigns go out
- Validation at entry, clean data in, not out
When it goes further
Beyond the CRM: the custom app.
Automate long enough and you hit the ceiling of no-code. Make and n8n end up sprawling in every direction: unreadable, fragile, impossible to evolve. At that point, we move to code. Python scripts orchestrated around a centralized base: more readable, more robust, and it opens up what comes next.
Internal dashboards
Steer on current data, not on an Excel export from three weeks ago.
Client portals
Give your clients clean access to their data, their deliverables, their status.
Centralized base
A single source of truth, built for your processes, when no off-the-shelf tool truly fits.
This is often where a company finally gets a system of record of its own: not a generic CRM, not an ERP it merely tolerates. A base built for how it actually works.
What we ship
A made-to-measure B2B portal, live.
For an industrial manufacturer selling through a network of installers, we replaced email-and-PDF ordering with a full web platform: client ordering, delivery tracking, invoices, support, and a management cockpit for the leadership team. Interactive demo, running live in your browser.
Interactive demo, best on desktop
This product mockup is built for a wide screen. Open the page on a desktop to switch between the client portal and the management cockpit and explore it live.
Methodology
How we build it.
Map the flows
1–2 weeksInventory data sources, systems and the touch points where data is created or changed.
Design the workflows
2 weeksDefine rules for sync, dedup, enrichment and alerts against your CRM Handbook.
Build & integrate
2–4 weeksImplement the automations into your CRM and data stack, with safeguards and logging.
Monitor & tune
ContinuousWatch quality metrics, catch edge cases, adjust rules as your processes evolve.
The stack
Built on your stack, not against it.
We integrate where your data already lives, no rip-and-replace. The automation layer sits across your CRM, your data sources and orchestration.
- CRM, ERP or custom base: Salesforce, HubSpot, Cegid, Sage, Odoo, or a base we build.
- Data sources: enrichment providers and internal systems
- Orchestration: scheduled and event-driven workflows
- Observability: logs and quality metrics you can audit
What changes
