Featured Case Study 1: Transforming King Secure Technologies with Zoho CRM & Analytics

Kings Secure Technologies (KST), a prominent integrator of security and life safety systems with a £60 million UK turnover and a global presence, faced a major challenge in unifying their business units and streamlining processes across their extensive, acquired business structure. Their existing CRM, tied to a field service platform, was cumbersome and lacked the critical reporting capabilities needed for a rapidly expanding enterprise.

The Solution: Unifying Operations with Zoho

KST selected Zoho CRM for its user-friendliness and cost-effectiveness, heavily influenced by positive prior experience with 1 Cloud Consultants. Our partnership focused on:

• Phased Implementation: Quickly growing from a handful to over 60 users, supported by the appointment of a dedicated in-house Zoho Champion (Jo Goulden, Group Head of Marketing) to ensure smooth adoption and internal self-sufficiency.
• Seamless Integration: Utilising Zoho’s powerful API to link with KST’s field service management software, eliminating data duplication, automating the flow of sales opportunity information, and ensuring final sales and margin values are accurately updated in Zoho.
• Automated Business Intelligence: Integrating Zoho with their in-house analytics portal, Dimension, to empower Business Development Managers (BDMs) to generate and sync complex, multi-million-pound quotes.

Key Outcomes & Impact

1. Revolutionised Reporting and Insights: With 1 Cloud Consultants’ guidance, KST transitioned from tedious Excel spreadsheets to robust, scheduled Zoho reports, saving considerable time. The operational team, for example, receives weekly reports on 'quoted 100%' opportunities, streamlining scheduling.

2. Dynamic Sales Meetings & Efficiency: Zoho CRM completely transformed KST’s sales meetings, moving from static PowerPoint presentations to a dynamic, real-time view of the entire pipeline within the Opportunities module. KST’s Head of Sales now estimates saving an hour daily with this comprehensive, real-time visibility.

3. Advanced Automation:Zoho Workflows were implemented for critical alerts, such as notifying the CEO of high-value deals (over £100,000) reaching the final quote stage, demonstrating the platform’s adaptability to strategic business needs.

4. The Power of Zoho Analytics: Recognising the need for deeper data analysis, KST adopted Zoho Analytics upon our recommendation. This integration provides daily data updates, allowing the creation of complex, scheduled dashboards and widgets. The CEO now uses Analytics to compile monthly board reports, saving several hours each month, while dial charts track each division's sales performance against targets daily.

Jo Goulden, Group Head of Marketing, Kings Secure Technologies, states: "1 Cloud Consultants support has been invaluable in creating dashboards and reports, empowering me to build my own while knowing they are always available for assistance. I highly recommend Zoho and 1 Cloud Consultants to any business."

Allergy Standards Limited (ASL), founded in 2000, is dedicated to creating healthier indoor environments through product certification.

The Solution: A Single Source of Truth

• Financial Agility: Integration with Zoho Books provided live pricing updates, ensuring the sales team was always agile and informed in their strategy.
• Marketing & Engagement Elevation: Custom modules were built for tracking Demand Generation Initiatives (DGIs), allowing ASL to effectively analyse ROI and prioritise high-impact marketing events.
