The Challenge

Before engaging Zenatta, Energy Security was doing all of its own Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects setup and configuration in-house. For a specialized engineering and construction firm, that meant team members were splitting their attention between building complex energy systems and building out the software that supported the business.

Beyond the time cost, every configuration decision carried uncertainty. Without a trusted source of Zoho expertise, the team had no easy way to know whether a new workflow or process change was the right approach. Energy Security recognized it needed a development partner who could both do the work and provide sound advice on how best to implement it.

Why It Mattered

Energy Security’s projects are high-value, technically demanding installations for discerning clients, and the sales cycle that leads to them requires careful coordination. When the people responsible for selling and delivering those projects are also maintaining the systems behind them, both suffer: configuration work gets squeezed in around real work, and sales processes stay more manual than they need to be.

Just as important, decisions about how to structure the CRM and sales workflows shape how the entire team operates. Getting those decisions wrong means rework, inconsistent data, and limited visibility into the pipeline. As the company continued to grow, it needed a reliable foundation and expert guidance to scale its sales operation without adding stress or overhead.

The Zenatta Solution

Zenatta worked closely with Energy Security across its Zoho One environment to design workflows and automations that match how the team sells, reduce manual steps, and give leadership better insight into the sales cycle.

• Sales Process Workflows: Zenatta partnered with the Energy Security team to design workflows in Zoho CRM that reflect the company’s actual sales process. The pipeline now follows a consistent, structured path, making it easier for the team to move deals forward.
• Automation to Reduce Manual Input: Automations handle repetitive steps that the team previously managed by hand. This reduces manual data entry, lowers the chance of errors, and frees the sales team to spend more time with clients.
• Strategic Implementation Guidance: Rather than simply building what was requested, Zenatta acts as an advisor when Energy Security is deciding how to implement a change. Zenatta’s recommendations help the team evaluate options and choose the best approach before any work begins.
• Sales Cycle Visibility & Metrics: Zenatta helps guide Energy Security toward procedures that produce quality business metrics. The team now has clearer insight into what matters during the sales cycle and how to best leverage its sales resources.
• Ongoing Zoho Development Partnership: Zenatta now handles the Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects configuration work the team once managed internally. Through Zenatta’s retainer model, Energy Security has a dedicated partner ready to answer questions and take on new development as needs evolve.

“Zenatta has helped us develop workflows and set up automations which have helped to streamline our sales process and reduce manual input. Their input has been important to our decision making process when determining the best way to implement a change or workflow.” – Zack Fagan, Sales Director, Energy Security
