Which should we connect first: the CRM or the ERP?
Start with the task that currently causes the most manual work. If advisers cannot find the owner of an enquiry, the CRM is usually the first place to examine. If they keep looking up quotation references or order documents, review the ERP workflow. We can map both, but the first delivery has a defined starting event and a clear finish.
What information do you need to assess a WhatsApp CRM integration?
Bring the software edition, the current number setup and one anonymised example of a difficult handover. A sketch of the fields your team uses is more useful at this stage than a large database export. We turn that example into a proposed route and list the permissions or product functions still to verify.
How do you decide between a native channel and a connector?
We compare each route against the agreed task: which records it can reach, who can operate it, how a failed action is reported and who maintains it. The cheapest licence does not settle those questions. Our proposal identifies the chosen route and any step that still needs a person.
What marks the end of the implementation?
We agree acceptance checks before setup begins. They might include recognising a returning contact, preserving the assigned owner or making a quote reference available to the adviser. The handover includes the configuration, test results and an explanation of what the team must do if the connection stops working.
