CRM & Software Consultancy

The software was supposed to make things easier. Somehow it made them harder. Let's fix that.

Most growing businesses don’t have a software problem. They have a system problem. The tools exist, they’re just disconnected, misconfigured, or sitting half-used while the team works around them in a spreadsheet.

We design the right software stack for how your business actually works. Then we set it up properly, connect everything together, and make sure your team genuinely uses it, not just for the first week.

The Real Problem

It's not the software. It's that nobody designed the system.

Here’s how it usually goes. Someone recommends HubSpot. You sign up, import your contacts, set up a couple of pipelines. It works okay for a while. Then someone else suggests Notion for project management. Then you’re using Monday for client work, Airtable for tracking something, and a separate spreadsheet for the thing none of the others handles quite right.

Six months later you’ve got five tools, $800/month in subscriptions, and a team that’s stopped trusting any of them to have the right information. So they do it in the spreadsheet. Same spreadsheet you had before you bought any of the tools.

The problem was never the software. It was that no one sat down and designed the system first. The five symptoms:

That last one is exactly what we do. We come in, assess what you have, design what you actually need, and build it in a way your team will genuinely use.

CRM & SOftware Consultancy Services

We don't just install software. We design the system behind it.

Every engagement starts with understanding how your business works, before we touch a single tool. Because the right software set up wrong is just expensive confusion.

Software Stack Design & Selection

Before recommending a single tool, we map your business: how you find clients, how you manage them, how your team operates, where information lives, and where it gets lost. Then we design the right stack, which tools you actually need, which ones you don’t, and exactly how they connect. We have no commercial relationships with any software platform. We recommend what’s right for you, not what pays us a referral fee.

CRM Setup & Configuration

A CRM that’s been configured properly is one of the most powerful tools in a growing business. A CRM that’s been set up in a hurry is a graveyard of contacts nobody trusts. We set up your CRM the right way, clean data architecture, logical pipeline design, sensible automation, and a setup your team will actually maintain.

Operations & Workspace Setup

The tools your team uses every day to manage projects, knowledge, and communication. Whether it’s Notion as your company OS, Monday for client project management, or Airtable for operational data, we configure them around how your team actually works, not how the software demo assumed you would.

Ongoing Management & Optimisation

Software systems need tending. As your business grows, your tools need to grow with it, new pipelines, updated automations, new team members to onboard, integrations to add. We offer ongoing retainers to manage and continuously improve your stack so it never drifts back into chaos.

The Platforms

Every platform has a right client. Here's how we think about each one.

We work across all of these and we have a clear point of view on when each one is the right choice. We’ll tell you honestly which fits your situation, including when the answer is ‘you don’t need this one at all.’

HubSpot

Our primary recommendation for growing businesses with an active sales process

HubSpot is the most complete platform for businesses that want sales, marketing, and service in one place, without enterprise complexity. Done properly, it becomes the single source of truth for every client relationship in your business. Done badly, it becomes a very expensive contact list.

 

We set up HubSpot the right way: clean pipeline architecture, automated follow-up sequences, deal tracking that your team will actually maintain, and reporting that tells you what’s actually happening in your sales operation.

Right for you if: you have a real sales process, a team that needs to track leads and deals, and you want marketing and CRM in one place without paying for Salesforce.

Notion

The operational backbone for teams that want everything in one place

Notion is one of the most powerful tools most businesses are massively underusing. Most teams set it up, add a few pages, and then slowly drift back to Google Docs and Slack messages because nobody built a real structure.

 

We build Notion systems that actually work as a company operating system, projects, client portals, SOPs, knowledge bases, and team wikis all in one place. Structured, searchable, and built to be adopted rather than abandoned.

Right for you if: you’re a service business, agency, or team that needs one home for everything, and you’re tired of losing information across Slack threads, email chains, and scattered documents.

Airtable

Structured data and powerful views, without the complexity of a real database

Airtable sits exactly between a spreadsheet and a proper database. When it’s configured well it becomes the most flexible operational tool in your stack. When it’s configured badly it looks like a spreadsheet with extra steps, which is why most Airtable users never unlock what it can actually do.

 

We design Airtable bases that genuinely replace multiple tools: inventory systems, content calendars, project trackers, client databases, operational dashboards. All connected, all visible, all useful.

Right for you if: you handle complex operational data: inventory, content pipelines, projects, or client tracking, and you need more structure than a spreadsheet but less complexity than an enterprise system.

Monday.com

Visual project management for teams that need to see everything at once

Monday.com is built for teams managing multiple concurrent projects, workstreams, and people. Its visual clarity is genuinely one of the best in the market, when it’s configured well. The out-of-the-box setup that most teams default to is rarely it.

 

We configure Monday around how your team actually works, the statuses that make sense for your process, the automations that eliminate the manual updates, the integrations that keep it in sync with your other tools, so project status is genuinely visible at a glance rather than being another thing to update manually.

Right for you if: you manage multiple client projects or internal workstreams simultaneously and need a single view of what’s happening, what’s blocked, and what’s next.

Salesforce

Enterprise-grade CRM, powerful, complex, and only right when you genuinely need it

Salesforce is the most powerful CRM on the market. It’s also the most expensive, the most complex, and the most commonly oversold to businesses that didn’t need it.

 

We’ll be honest with you: if you’re under £5M revenue with a sales team of under 10 people, HubSpot is almost certainly the better choice. But if you have complex multi-stage sales processes, strict compliance requirements, a large team, or you’ve genuinely outgrown HubSpot, Salesforce is worth the investment. And we know how to make it work without the 18-month implementation saga.

Right for you if: you have a genuinely complex sales operation, specific compliance needs, or you’ve hit the ceiling of what HubSpot can do for your business.

***The tool isn’t the answer. The process is. Tell us how your business actually works and we’ll tell you which software fits it, not the other way around.

Our Process

We design the system first. Then we build it.

Most software implementations fail for one of two reasons: nobody mapped the process before choosing the tool, or the team never actually adopted it. Our process is specifically designed to prevent both.

We start by understanding how your business actually operates today — not how it’s supposed to. Where does information live? What does your team do manually that they shouldn’t? What are they working around? What’s been tried before and why didn’t it stick? This shapes everything that follows.

Before we touch a tool, we design the system — which platforms you need, how they connect, what data lives where, and what the flow looks like end-to-end. If you already have tools we can work with, we will. If something needs replacing, we’ll tell you honestly and explain why.

We set up and configure your tools properly. Not the out-of-the-box defaults — a thoughtful, bespoke configuration built around your specific process. Pipelines, properties, automations, integrations, views, dashboards. All of it designed for how your team works.

We migrate your existing data cleanly — no duplicate contacts, no corrupted records, no information left behind. And we connect your new system to everything else it needs to talk to: your website, your email platform, your calendar, your accounting software. Everything in sync from day one.

This is where most implementations fall apart and where we invest the most energy. We train every user — not just the manager who was on the setup call. We provide recorded walkthroughs, written guides, and a 30-day check-in to catch any habits that are slipping back. Adoption isn’t an afterthought. It’s the whole point.

At 30 and 90 days post-launch we review what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs adjusting. Software systems need tending as businesses grow — new team members, new processes, new integrations. We’re available for ongoing support and can move into a management retainer if you want us to stay in your corner long-term.

Who it's for

You're in the right place if…

01

You're starting out and want to build on the right foundations from day one

You’ve watched businesses spend years cleaning up software messes that started because nobody thought about the system early enough. You want to start with something that will actually scale, a CRM that makes sense, tools that connect, and a setup you’ll still be happy with in three years.

02

You've accumulated tools over the years and nothing talks to anything else

You’ve got HubSpot, Notion, a project management tool, and three spreadsheets. None of them have the same information. Your team has stopped trusting the system and gone back to doing things manually. You need someone to come in, make sense of it all, and build something that actually gets used.

03

You're scaling and your current systems aren't built for where you're going

What worked at 10 people is cracking under pressure at 30. The CRM was set up by someone who left two years ago. Nobody’s sure what the source of truth is anymore. You need a strategic review of the whole stack and a partner who thinks about systems properly, not someone who just reconfigures the tool you already have.

Who it's NOT for...

If you just need someone to click through a setup wizard, there are cheaper options. What we offer starts with thinking — understanding your business before we touch a tool. If you want the fastest, cheapest implementation possible, we’re probably not your match. If you want it done right, in a way that actually gets adopted and actually sticks, we are.

Industries

Every industry runs differently. The systems should too.

A CRM for a therapy practice needs to handle sensitive client information very differently from a CRM for an e-commerce business. A project management setup for a creative agency has different logic from one for a healthcare consultancy. We build for the specifics, not a generic template that just about fits.

Healthcare & Medical

Patient management workflows built with data sensitivity at the core. Appointment tracking, referral management, follow-up sequences, and reporting that surfaces clinical and operational KPIs, all designed with appropriate access controls and data handling practices.

Therapy & Mental Wellness

Client intake systems, session tracking, waitlist management, and secure communication workflows. Tools configured so practitioners spend their admin time in minutes rather than hours, and client data is handled with the care it deserves.

E-commerce & Retail

Customer lifecycle management from first purchase to loyal advocate. Post-purchase sequences, return and exchange tracking, wholesale client management, and inventory data flowing cleanly into your operational view.

Professional Services

Proposal pipelines, retainer client management, project delivery tracking, and billing workflows, all visible in one system. The kind of setup that makes a growing professional services firm look and operate like a much larger one.

Startups & Side businesses

A lean, right-sized stack built to grow with you. No enterprise complexity you’ll never use. No tools you’re paying for just because someone said you’d need them eventually. The right foundation, and a clear plan for what gets added as you scale.

Social Impact & Non-profit

Donor management, volunteer tracking, grant reporting pipelines, and impact data collection. Non-profit operations are often as complex as commercial ones, with a fraction of the resource. We build systems that handle that complexity without requiring a dedicated ops team to maintain them.

Keshav took the time to understand our vision and transformed it into a website that not only looks stunning but actually works for our business. I love how our brand personality now shines through in everything we do online. The best part? We’ve watched our search rankings climb steadily, bringing in real customers who connect with what we offer. If you’re struggling to make your mark online like we were, I honestly can’t recommend this service enough. It’s been a game-changer for our business.”
Anisha Owen

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Keshav and team. It’s my first time building a website but I also had a really clear idea of what I wanted and Keshav approached with patience, support and went above and beyond during the process. They worked really hard for me and I appreciate them fully. Highly recommend – communicative, responsive, talented and super kind. More than met my expectations and I hope to work with them again soon.”

“Keshav has been a pleasure to work with. He stays on top of communication and timeline. He completed a beautiful design for our website at wildflower-skincare.com in WordPress. He also went an extra mile to do screen sharing and giving us some basic WordPress tutorials on how to edit/change the pages. I would absolutely recommend Keshav for any future website design project.”
Thi Huynh
Wild Flower Skincare / California, USA
“Wow! My wesite looks great! Keshav did a wonderful job. From the start, he asked me a lot of questions to really get a good understanding of what I needed. He has been amazing to work with and very quick to respond to any questions I have. I spoke with several Web designers before going with The Complete Studio and so I am so happy I found them. Wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. Absolutely recommend. Check out my website and you’ll see what great work he does! I have plans for Keshav to do another site for me soon.”
Jennifer Morse
Meals with Emma / Utah, USA
“Hello, 5 stars! I am very happy with the result/design of my site. At first I was very sceptical because of the few reviews—nevertheless I took the risk and was not disappointed. Fill out a detailed questionnaire—within a few days the webshop was available. The team gets the best out of every project and makes sure that there is no loss of quality. I ended up with a request in my menu that was almost impossible to realise. Nevertheless, the team took the trouble and tried out a few things so that my desired menu could be installed. Very nice contact, professional and trustworthy. Don’t be put off by the few reviews. Everybody starts at some point. You are welcome to have a look at my site and get an idea of it: www.byyamira.com Many thanks to the team! ❤”
Rani Michels

“After gracefully listening to all my new business woes, Keshav was very supportive and understanding of what I needed for my website. He was available almost 24/7 and replied quickly and politely even when I was asking a million questions. He did a fantastic job, and continues to help me restructure what I need and edit minor details to make sure I’m happy. He’s even monitoring the Google Analytics to ensure my website is doing what it is supposed to, and I have new hope and a more positive outlook on what I can achieve thanks to Keshav and his team. Would definitely recommend him to others. www.arotherapy.com if you want to check it out.”
Alisha Olson
ARO Therapy / Wisconsin, USA
Absolutely blown away by the branding and custom website design! Keshav and his team at The Complete Studio truly captured my vision and created something stunning, user-friendly, and perfect for my business. Their expertise in design, marketing, and attention to detail made the whole process seamless. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking to elevate their brand!”

FAQs

Questions we hear before every project. Answered honestly.

Almost never. We audit what you have first — what’s been built, what your team actually uses, and what’s been abandoned. More often than not there’s something worth keeping. We build on top of what works and fix or replace what doesn’t. Starting from scratch is a last resort, not a default.

The reason most implementations fail isn’t the software — it’s that nobody designed the system around how the team actually works. We spend more time on discovery and adoption than most consultants spend on the entire project. We also do 30-day and 90-day check-ins post-launch specifically to catch habits that are slipping and fix them before they become permanent.

No. We have no commercial relationships with any software platform. We don’t take referral fees, affiliate commissions, or partner payments. Every recommendation we make is based on what’s right for your business — which is the only way we can give honest advice.

A single platform setup typically takes 2–4 weeks from kick-off to go-live. Larger multi-platform builds or complex migrations take 4–8 weeks. The biggest variable is data quality — clean data migrates fast, messy data takes longer to sort properly. We’ll give you a specific timeline before we start.

Every project includes a 30-day support window for exactly this. Beyond that, we offer management retainers for ongoing changes — new user onboarding, pipeline updates, new integrations. And even clients not on a retainer can reach us when something needs updating. We don’t disappear after handover.

Yes — and we’d argue this is one of the most important parts of the setup. A CRM that doesn’t talk to your website form, your email platform, your calendar, or your project management tool is doing half the job. Integration is built into every project scope, not charged as an extra.

Your software should work for your team. Not the other way around.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, cleaning up years of accumulated tools, or finally fixing the CRM that nobody trusts, we’d love to take a look at what you’ve got and tell you honestly what we’d do.

The first conversation is free. No pitch, no proposal you didn’t ask for, no recommendation before we’ve understood the situation. Just an honest look at your current setup and a clear picture of what’s possible.

*** We reply within a few hours. No sales script. Just a real conversation.
