Pipedrive implementation for SMEs

Pipedrive your team actually uses.

We set up Pipedrive, build the automation around it and keep steering after go-live. So you don't end up with a CRM that gathers dust after three weeks, but a system that becomes the foundation of your business. And ready for AI.

Live within 6 weeks. Still in use after 60 days. If not, we stand behind it.*

* Not live within 6 weeks while your requirements were in order? Then you pay no licence fees for the overrun. If your team is not actively using Pipedrive after 60 days, you get an extra training session for free. Both guarantees apply to Fully managed and Shared. What active means is agreed together up front.

  • Pipedrive
    One CRM as the single source of truth for your customer data
  • Authorized partner
    Official Pipedrive partner
  • 5 to 250 employees
    The businesses where we make the difference

Sound familiar?

What we hear at almost every growing business

"Follow-up happens when there's time."

Requests and orders come in every day, but everyone handles them differently.

"Only the person who was there knows."

One deal takes five conversations. What was discussed is known only to whoever was in the room.

"It runs on gut feeling."

You send few quotes, but every quote counts. Follow-up runs on gut feeling.

A CRM doesn't work because it's there.

Pipedrive works when it fits how your team works, and when you keep steering it. That is what we do.

Our approach

From first call to a team that uses it

Five steps. After each step you know what you get.

01

Introduction

A 30-minute call about how you work today and what you want to achieve.

→ An honest answer on whether Pipedrive fits.

02

Design

We map how a request becomes a customer, in your own words.

→ A setup plan your team recognises.

03

Setup and automation

FortCRM sets up Pipedrive, migrates your data and builds the automation around it.

→ A working Pipedrive, ready to use.

04

Training and go-live

Your team learns to work in your real situation, not in a demo. You are live within 6 weeks of the start.

→ Your team works in Pipedrive.

05

Steering

After 60 days we check together whether your team is actively using Pipedrive. If not, you get an extra training session for free.

→ Usage that lasts.

After that: the ambition review

What works, what doesn't, and what the next step is. That way Pipedrive grows with your business. Part of every SLA.

Who we help

Three kinds of businesses where Pipedrive makes the difference

Few deals, high win rate

Construction companies, for example. You send few quotes and each one counts. The gain is in tight follow-up on every quote.

Custom work and advice with several conversations

Consultancies and agencies where one deal takes several conversations. The gain is a complete customer picture, even when someone else takes over.

Many requests, many orders

Small amounts, large volumes. The gain is speed and a fixed route: every request is handled the same way.

Recognise yourself in one of these? Book a 30-minute call and we'll look at what Pipedrive can do for your team. If it is not a fit, we'll tell you honestly.

Who we are not for

Working with one or two people? Then an extensive setup may not be needed yet. Book a call anyway: we'll see together whether it fits, and if there is a better first step, we'll say so.

FAQ

What people ask us up front

How long does an implementation take?

You are live within 6 weeks, provided your requirements are in order. Live means: delivered, tested against what we agreed and your team is trained. If we miss that, with Fully managed and Shared you pay no licence fees for the overrun.

Why Pipedrive?

Pipedrive is simple enough to use every day and powerful enough to grow with you. That second part is why teams keep using it.

What if my team doesn't use it?

That is what the usage guarantee is for. After 60 days we check together whether your team is actively using Pipedrive. If not, you get an extra training session for free. Applies to Fully managed and Shared.

Can I bring my existing data?

Yes. We move data from Excel, mailboxes or your current CRM to Pipedrive and clean up duplicates.

What does ready for AI mean?

AI is only as good as the data it works on. We set up Pipedrive with clean, consistent data, so you can build AI applications on top of it later.

What does it cost?

Self-directed costs €4,950, Shared €7,950 and Fully managed €12,950. After go-live you choose an SLA: Basic €595, Plus €1,250 or Max €2,450 per month. All excluding VAT. After the first call you receive a proposal.

Do I already need a Pipedrive licence?

No. We discuss that in the first call and advise which plan fits. As a Pipedrive partner we start your trial through our partner link: 30 days instead of 14.
