Pipedrive and Monday.com Specialists
You picked the friendly CRM. Now it needs to grow up.
Pipedrive and Monday.com were the right call when you started. Three years and one growth stage later, the same flexibility that made them easy is starting to make them messy. We help small teams keep the tools they love, and add the structure they need.
100+ CRM projects shipped. 20+ engineers in house. Clients across the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand.
Why You Are Here
Most teams arrive at this page for one of three reasons.
The first is the obvious one. You set up Pipedrive or Monday.com a year or two ago. It worked. Then your pipeline tripled, your reps started asking for fields that do not exist, your founder wanted reports the tool cannot produce, and the workarounds in spreadsheets are now outnumbering the records in the CRM itself.
"If you are doing more work outside the CRM than inside it, the CRM stopped working."
The second reason is quieter. The tool still works. The team uses it. But you can see the ceiling. Forecasting is approximate. Activity tracking depends on people remembering to log. The reports your investors ask for take an hour to assemble manually. You are not looking for a new CRM. You are looking for someone who can make this one carry more weight.
"Most teams do not need a new CRM. They need someone who can make the one they have work harder."
The third reason is the choice. You are deciding between staying on Pipedrive or Monday.com and moving up to Salesforce or HubSpot. You want a real answer, not a sales pitch. We will give you one. Sometimes the honest answer is that you should leave us out of it for another year and call us when the tool actually breaks. That is fine.
Pick The Right One
Pipedrive or Monday.com? An honest take.
We work with both. They are not interchangeable. Here is when we recommend one over the other, said plainly.
Pipedrive
A sales-first CRM. Built for teams who want to see deals move, not configure objects.
Best When
Your business is sales-led, your team is under 40 people, and your top priority is getting reps to actually log activity. Pipedrive's flat structure and visual pipeline are why people adopt it when they would not touch Salesforce.
Watch Out For
Reporting gets thin past a certain point. Custom logic that branches more than two levels deep starts feeling like a hack. Marketing automation is not really its job. If you find yourself fighting the tool, that is the signal you have outgrown it.
Where We Come In
Custom integrations with billing, support, and your data warehouse. Custom apps that extend Pipedrive past what the marketplace covers. Reporting layers in Looker or Metabase when native reports stop being enough. Clean migration when staying no longer makes sense.
Monday.com
A flexible work platform that companies often press into service as a CRM. Powerful and weird in equal measure.
Best When
Your team is operations-led or project-led, and the CRM use case overlaps with how you run client work, onboarding, or internal projects. Monday.com is one of the few tools that can run your CRM and your delivery in the same view, when set up properly.
Watch Out For
The flexibility is a trap. Every team builds their own boards, every board has its own conventions, and three months in nobody knows where the data lives. Without architecture, Monday.com becomes a graveyard of half-used boards. We have rescued more Monday.com instances than any other CRM.
Where We Come In
Board architecture that scales beyond one team. Custom apps built on the Monday.com SDK. Multi-board automation that the native automation builder cannot reach. Integrations beyond what Monday.com's app marketplace offers, written directly against the API.
What We Build
Six things we do most. Pick one or pick all of them.
None of these need to be one big project. Most clients start with one, see how it goes, and add the rest in the next phase.
01
Setup that fits how your team actually sells
Pipeline architecture, deal stages, custom fields, and automation that mirror your real workflow. We watch your reps work first, then we configure. Most setups take two to three weeks for a single tool.
Example: a Pipedrive instance with custom deal stages for an outbound team selling four different services, each with its own approval flow.
02
Migration to or from
Moving in from Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Close, spreadsheets, or homegrown CRMs. Or out, when the tool has been outgrown. Field mapping, deduplication, deal stage translation, activity history. The unsexy work that decides whether the new tool launches clean or launches broken.
Example: 12,000 contacts and 4,500 deals migrated from HubSpot Sales Hub to Pipedrive across a weekend, with zero data loss and the team using the new instance Monday morning.
03
Custom workflows the native automation cannot do
Multi-step approvals, conditional routing, time-based triggers tied to external events, and the kind of branching logic that the no-code builder cannot quite express. Built either inside the platform or wired up externally with code where needed.
Example: A Monday.com board that auto-creates onboarding tasks across three teams the moment a deal moves to Won, with different task lists by client tier.
04
Reporting that does not require a spreadsheet
Native reports get thin past a certain volume. We build proper reporting layers in Looker, Metabase, or Tableau, fed from Pipedrive or Monday.com plus your billing data, plus your support data, in one view. Forecasting, cohort analysis, rep performance, the stuff founders and investors actually ask about.
Example: A founder dashboard pulling Pipedrive pipeline, Stripe MRR, and Intercom conversation volume into a single Looker page, refreshed every hour.
05
Custom apps and integrations
When the marketplace does not have what you need, we write it. Custom Pipedrive apps via their API, custom Monday.com apps via the Monday.com SDK, and direct integrations with billing, support, ERP, or your own product. The work most agencies cannot do because they only configure.
Example: A custom Monday.com app that pulls usage data from the client's product backend and writes it back to the customer board every fifteen minutes.
06
Adoption and ongoing care
Training, documentation, and a small monthly retainer for the things you cannot plan in advance. New automation as the business changes, fields and pipelines as the team grows, and a real person to message when something feels off.
Example: Standing retainer of six to eight hours a month covering board adjustments, new automation, and quarterly reviews.
Where We Come In
Pipedrive and Monday.com do a lot. We do what they cannot.
Most agencies treat these tools as no-code only. We treat them as platforms, which means we can write code where the platform stops. That is the part most teams need by year two and cannot find anyone to do.
Native
Pipelines and Deals
Visual pipeline, stages, deal cards. The basics work and they work well.
Native
Built-in Automation
If-this-then-that triggers inside the platform. Solid for most simple flows.
Native
Marketplace Apps
Hundreds of pre-built integrations through the app marketplaces. Useful when they fit.
Native
Native Reports
Standard dashboards and reports. Enough for most teams up to a certain size.
Custom
Custom apps via API and SDK
Built directly against the Pipedrive API or Monday.com SDK. Lives inside the tool. Looks native because it is.
Custom
Branching logic beyond the no-code builder
Multi-step, multi-condition, time-aware. Written in code where the visual builder gives up.
Custom
Integrations the marketplace cannot do
Direct REST and webhook integrations with your billing, support, ERP, data warehouse, or your own product.
Custom
Reporting in real BI tools
Looker, Metabase, Tableau. Fed by Pipedrive or Monday.com and the other systems that matter. Founder and investor grade.
What It Looks Like
What working with us actually looks like.
A realistic timeline. Your actual project may stretch or compress, but the rhythm holds.
WEEK 1
The audit call.
Two hours with you and whoever else in your company actually lives in the CRM daily. We watch you use it. We ask the questions you do not normally get asked. You leave with a written plan and an idea of what the work would look like, whether or not you hire us.
WEEK 2
Scope, timeline, price.
We send a short proposal that covers what we are going to build, how long it takes, and what it costs. No padding, no surprise hours. Most clients decide within a few days. Some take longer. Some decide not to proceed, and that is fine.
WEEKS 3 TO 6
We build, in your instance.
Not in a sandbox or a mockup. Directly in your Pipedrive or Monday.com account, with the right safeguards. You see weekly progress. Your team starts using parts of it as they get done. We do not save everything for one big reveal. That model is how launches go wrong.
WEEK 7
Training and handover.
A working session, not a presentation. We walk your team through the new setup, answer the questions that come up live, and leave behind documentation that an actual human can read. Recordings included for the new hires who join later.
WEEK 8 ONWARD
Available, if you want us.
Most clients keep us on a small monthly retainer for adjustments and new builds as the business changes. Some take it from there. Both are fine. There is no contractual lock-in.
Integrations
What we connect Pipedrive and Monday.com to.
The integrations we build most often. If yours is not on this list, the answer is almost always yes anyway.
Plus another forty or so we have built for over the years. Ask us about yours.
Questions People Actually Ask
Real questions from real discovery calls.
These come up most weeks. Answers are written the way we actually answer them on a call, not in marketing speak.
Should I stay on Pipedrive or Monday.com, or move up to HubSpot or Salesforce?
It depends on what is actually breaking. If your problem is missing features the bigger CRMs natively have, like real marketing automation or enterprise reporting, the answer might be migration. If your problem is custom logic, integrations, or reporting that any modern CRM can be made to do, the answer is usually to stay and extend what you have. We will tell you honestly which one we think it is, and we will not push you to migrate just because a migration is a bigger project for us.
Do you only work with Pipedrive and Monday.com?
No. We also do HubSpot, Salesforce, and custom CRMs we build from scratch. Pipedrive and Monday.com tend to attract a specific kind of client (smaller team, founder-led, operations-led), which is why we have a dedicated page for them. The methodology and the team are the same across all of them.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer who does Pipedrive setup?
A freelancer typically configures what you ask for. We start with strategy, ask questions about your pipeline and revenue model, and tell you what we think you should change before we touch the tool. We also have engineers in house, which means we can write code when the platform stops being enough. Most Pipedrive freelancers cannot do that, and most Pipedrive freelancers stop being useful once the project goes past basic setup.
What does it cost?
Audits start at a fixed fee. Setup projects typically run a few thousand dollars depending on scope. Custom integration and app work is scoped after the audit and quoted as a fixed-price project. Ongoing retainers start small and scale with the work. We share specific numbers on the discovery call once we understand what you actually need, not before.
How long until we see results?
Most clients see the first real automation live within two weeks of project start. Migration projects take three to six weeks depending on data volume. Reporting layers usually go live in four to six weeks. The biggest variable is decision-making on your side, not delivery on ours.
What happens if we want to migrate to a different CRM later?
We will help you do it cleanly. We are not loyal to Pipedrive or Monday.com. We are loyal to whatever works for your team and the stage you are at. If a year from now the right move is to migrate to HubSpot or build a custom CRM, we will run that project for you the same way we ran this one.
Talk To Us
If you have read this far, we should probably talk.
Book a discovery call. Bilaal runs the first conversation, usually about an hour. There is no pitch deck. We will ask about your CRM, your team, and what is not working. By the end of the call you will know whether we can help and whether it is worth doing now or later.
No pressure. Just value.
