Digital
Transformation
for Professional Services Firms
Strengthen pipeline management, project visibility and client profitability through connected digital systems.
Professional services organisations operate on expertise, time and client relationships.
Revenue depends on strong pipeline visibility. Profitability depends on accurate project tracking and resource utilisation. Leadership depends on reliable reporting across sales, delivery and finance.
When systems are disconnected, insight is delayed and margin erodes.
Avrion helps professional services firms connect CRM, project management and finance platforms into a unified, structured environment.

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

As teams grow, operational complexity increases.

What do our customers say?
“After a feasibility study designed to ascertain which CRM to integrate into our business, I found that Avrion put together the best end scenario and product, Maximizer, to take our business forward. The team at Avrion showed their diligence and knowledge, which was a clear deciding factor in instigating our partnership. We look forward to strengthening our relationship going forward, as CRM evolution never stops! We can now see in real time how all of our opportunities are progressing. We also have automated reports in our Dashboard module showing the business sales performance and pipeline, which allows us to focus on each individual opportunity without any being left unnurtured. Avrion has now linked our Maximizer with Mailchimp to allow for focused marketing campaigns based on the data we add to the Address Book. We now have a clear sales process that can be tracked with clear ‘what’s next’ actions to implement.”
Craig Sansom – Prestige“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“With our workload and team outgrowing our old method of workflow management, we needed a solution. Having worked with Avrion in the past, we asked them to take a look. Dave, Nick and Sam took the time to go through our process with us. It was decided that a ticketing system was required - the guys set up what we required and assisted us whilst we inputted our data and got it going. I think the level of customer service we have received from Avrion is 5 stars.”
Mike Bevan – SPM Instrument UK“Before Dynamics 365, we were managing tours through a mix of spreadsheets, emails and manual processes. Now, everything is in one place and works together seamlessly. The system is built around how we operate, not the other way around, and automates tasks that used to take hours. Most importantly, it gives us the flexibility to manage any type of tour and confidently support our continued growth.”
Karen Leggatt – Classic Grand Touring“Avrion is an agile, approachable, friendly company. They are easy to deal with and deliver on what they set out to achieve.”
Tom Crowther – Belvoir“Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship.”
Luke Hogg – Knoxford Fabrications“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. Our project involved coupling existing platforms with new CRM technologies, training and a complex project roll-out. Avrion managed the transition without fuss or any ‘catch-you’ extra fees – a job well done.”
David English – Restore plc“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“Avrion is able to grasp a concept quickly and turn it into a deliverable that can make a significant difference to a business. They take the time to understand the requirement, taking concepts and ideas and turning them into tangible benefits to achieve the best outcome possible for the customer. I'd 100% recommend Avrion. It's been a dream working with them. They have helped us at every point in this process. I've worked with people in the past where there's a bit of tension, but with Avrion they always helped to direct our journey, in a way that was working with us as a partner, over anything else.”
Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred“Connolly's Red Mills have been working with Avrion since 2017 with our Maximizer implementation and have found them to be a great company to deal with, projects completed in a timely manner to a high standard.”
David Dewberry – Connolly’s Red Mills
