The digital challenges facing professional services firms

Professional services organisations often experience:

  • Limited visibility across the full sales pipeline
  • Inconsistent handover between sales and delivery
  • Poor insight into project margin
  • Manual time and cost reconciliation
  • Disconnected CRM and finance systems
  • Heavy reliance on spreadsheets for reporting

As teams grow, operational complexity increases.

What digital transformation should deliver in professional services

A connected digital environment enables you to:

  • Manage pipeline stages with structured qualification
  • Calibrate sales forecasting with resource planning
  • Connect project delivery data with finance systems
  • Monitor profitability by client, project or service line
  • Improve utilisation visibility
  • Automate billing and approval workflows

The objective is clarity across the entire client lifecycle.

What do our customers say?

“Integrating over 30 acquisitions, meant harmonising over 60 customer databases. Impressive, but of little use if the data is unstructured. Maximizer meant structured data, yes it requires focus, but the output is efficient to say the least; the new improved pipeline made us twice as effective, cross selling across the 5 business units - closure went up 4-fold. Integrating this with front line operational calls gave us a holistic view, reducing hundreds of days spent on internal calls, joining up the dots for our customers. Opportunities grew by over 20% with straightforward data polishing. The icing on the cake was with GDPR, good process with opt-outs and customer choice on contact options. When you feed this into the business it allows us to be focussed on the day-to-day operation, the back-end processes of store, scan and shred just become slicker – our focus with customers substantially better. Hundreds of hours freed up for improvements on invoicing, value added services, the day to day delivery with document management”

David English – Restore plc

“Once we formed a partnership with Avrion, for the first time in seventeen years we were working with a really engaged partner, which is something unique.”

Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network

“Avrion’s AI and automation solution transformed our operations. What used to take three full-time staff days to process now happens automatically - accurately, consistently, and at scale. We’ve reclaimed time, reduced errors, and empowered our team to focus on higher-value work. It’s been transformative.”

COO at a leading UK waste management company

“We first came across Maximizer Sales Leader Edition (SLE) when looking for a CRM system with quoting functionality to replace an aged manual system based mainly on Excel! From development to implementation, each stage was found easy to transact and made easy to understand with the support offered found to be exceptional. Our main area of focus was to improve systems to reduce stress on resource with minimal impact on the team – this was achieved with great success & the system welcomed.”

Liane Atherton – AAF Air Filters

“Avrion has, from the start, been very honest and clear about what we can achieve without spending vast sums of money on an entirely new system. We now have a system that can evolve as the development does, to improve and continually improve account visibility for our homeowners and improve cash flow by utilising the automation that we required.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“We have experienced a huge shift in the efficiency of the business with the all-round delivery of service.”

Tracey Hammond – Dengie

“We created an automation wish list for Avrion, who were brilliant at listening and communicating as they tailored the project specifically to the scope.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“At our internal review in 2019 we, as a company, asked if we were doing ourselves justice using Maximizer as our CRM solution or was there something better? We concluded that the price point for the system gives us a budget to develop our own specific customisations that are more beneficial for productivity and efficiency as well.”

Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network

“We were looking for best service provider for our CRM system and we came across with Avrion in 2016 and since then we have never turned back in terms of CRM system. This was our best step to move with Avrion as they understood our requirement quickly with excellent solutions and also within our budget. Working with Avrion is wonderful experience; we never need to approach them for any issues as they are always one step ahead by taking regular follow-ups. They are quick and punctual in terms of completing project. We have undertaken many projects so far and are more than happy to say that their solution is up to the mark. Avrion's people are the greatest asset of the company. I really recommend Avrion not only CRM system but for many other IT solutions as well.”

Satish Ghaghada – CWC

““The reason why I like working with Jon is because he always comes up with a solution. This was a small project but it has a big impact and solves lots of time problems. I can now make updates to the communications that go out myself and don’t need the support of Avrion for this going forward, although they are always on hand if I need help.””
