For Thordon Bearings, it was about creating an emotional connection.
We took the vibrant orange of one of their largest bearings and made it the big, bold theme of a website aiming to catch the eye. But we saw our task as more than building an engaging site. We wanted to position Thordon better by telling a focused, streamlined story of a beautiful material with multiple attractions.
How We Work
Gather → Shape → Build
A fast, transparent approach designed for busy teams. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and why.
Gather
We align on goals, constraints, and stakeholders—then audit your current systems and data flow to define success.
Shape
We translate findings into a clear roadmap: architecture, integration plan, milestones, and what your team needs to provide.
Build
We execute in weekly checkpoints with documentation and QA—so you get momentum without losing visibility or control.
Common Questions We Hear
Will our sales team actually use the CRM?
Yes. Adoption is designed into the implementation. We build workflows around how your team sells, reduce duplicate entry, and automate key steps like activity capture, follow ups, and handoffs. Training is simple, role specific, and supported during rollout.
Can you integrate the CRM with our ERP and quoting process?
Yes. Manufacturing CRM works best when it connects to ERP, inventory, quoting, and order status. We map your process, define what data needs to flow, and integrate in phases so the CRM improves visibility without creating operational disruption.
What if our customer and sales data is messy or incomplete?
That is common. We start with a data audit to identify gaps, remove duplicates, and define standards for accounts, contacts, and opportunity stages. We migrate what is useful and set validation rules so data quality improves over time.
We have tried CRM before and it failed. What will be different?
Most failures come from unclear ownership, poor process alignment, and unnecessary complexity. We define your sales stages, reporting, and responsibilities up front, then deliver in milestones so you can validate progress and outcomes before expanding scope.
How do you improve forecasting accuracy?
We standardize opportunity stages, define required fields for reliable forecasting, and align CRM reporting with your quoting and order reality. You get consistent pipeline definitions and dashboards that leadership can trust.
How long does a typical CRM engagement take?
Most engagements start with a 4 to 6 week discovery and CRM design phase. Implementation is typically 6 to 12 weeks depending on integrations and complexity. You will receive a clear milestone plan, deliverables, and timeline before work begins.
What does a typical engagement cost and how do we avoid surprises?
Pricing depends on scope, number of users, integrations, and data work required. After the initial consult, we provide milestone based pricing tied to defined deliverables so you know what is included, what success looks like, and when each phase is complete.
