The Challenge

Growing commercially, but operating without visibility

ITSX Assure is a UK-based IT asset management and professional services consultancy, supporting organisations with specialist technology, compliance, asset lifecycle, and advisory services.

As the business grew, key commercial processes were spread across disconnected tools, spreadsheets, and individual ways of working. There was no structured CRM, no consistent pipeline view, and no reliable way to understand why opportunities were being lost or leads going cold.

Leadership had limited visibility of what was in the pipeline, where deals were stalling, and what was happening to opportunities that didn't convert. Without structured reason capture or an audit trail of pipeline movement, it was difficult to identify patterns or make informed commercial decisions.

Our Approach

Design the process first. Build the system second.

We mapped how the commercial operation actually runs before configuring a single board, then built the architecture and governance logic around it.

Phase 01
CRM & Pipeline Architecture
We mapped the full commercial lifecycle from lead capture through opportunity management to close. The CRM was designed around two core boards, Leads and Opportunities, with defined stages, ownership fields, value tracking, and activity logging built for pipeline governance rather than data storage.
Separate Leads and Opportunities boards with mirrored qualification logic
Mandatory fields enforced at key stage transitions
Sales Activities board as a structured audit and activity log layer
Pipeline visibility designed around the weekly leadership review rhythm
Phase 02
Automation & Governance
With the CRM architecture in place, we designed a layer of automation and governance logic to enforce data quality and reduce the risk of incomplete records or missed process steps.
Stage-change automations writing timestamped events to the Sales Activities board for a full audit trail
Mandatory Lost Reason and Lost Reason Notes on Opportunities, with guardrail automations reverting the stage if fields are empty
Mirrored Unqualified Reason and Notes on Leads with the same enforcement logic
A dedicated Lost Opps view and Lost Opportunity Analysis dashboard for leadership review
What We Built

A governed sales operating system, built for commercial clarity

Four interconnected components inside monday.com, with a governance automation layer designed around how ITSX Assure runs its commercial pipeline.

CRM & Sales Pipeline

Leads and Opportunities boards designed for commercial rigour. Stage-based pipeline with value tracking, ownership, expected close dates, and next-step visibility across the full sales team.

  • Leads board with qualification stages and disqualification capture
  • Opportunities board with full pipeline stage management
  • Mandatory field enforcement at key decision points
  • Sales Activities board as live audit log

Pipeline Change Tracking

Four automations on the Opportunities board writing stage-change events to Sales Activities, giving leadership a timestamped record of every pipeline movement. A dashboard widget filtered to the last 7 days supports the weekly Friday pipeline review.

  • Automated stage-change logging to Sales Activities
  • 7-day filtered dashboard widget for weekly leadership review
  • End-to-end tested pipeline audit trail
  • Make.com identified as the path for capturing previous field values, flagged for future implementation

Loss & Disqualification Capture

Mandatory reason capture on both lost opportunities and unqualified leads, enforced by guardrail automations. No opportunity can be marked Lost, and no lead Unqualified, without a reason on record.

  • Lost Reason and Lost Reason Notes on Opportunities
  • Unqualified Reason and Unqualified Reason Notes on Leads
  • Guardrail automations reverting stage and notifying assignee if fields are empty
  • Lost Opps view and Lost Opportunity Analysis dashboard

Dashboards & Reporting

Leadership dashboards designed to reduce manual reporting and provide a real-time view of commercial performance, built specifically around the Friday pipeline review with Harry, CFO.

  • Sales pipeline by stage and value
  • Lost opportunity analysis with reason breakdown
  • 7-day pipeline change feed for weekly leadership reviews
  • Full audit trail of stage movements via Sales Activities
The Outcomes

Real results, real impact.
