Case Study - Biosphere Consulting

Biosphere Consulting Inc. is a small business that designs sustainable, environmentally-friendly onsite wastewater and rainwater catchment systems in Northern California.

Before Blungo

Before contacting Blungo, Biosphere did not have a central place to view their project related tasks, as they were all tracked in various applications.

With Blungo

With the help of Blungo they decided that Zoho Projects was the best solution for the challenges that came along with not having a centralized way to view their projects.

For the first few months Blungo implemented Zoho Projects and developed project templates with more than 100 tasks per template. Once Zoho Projects was implemented, everytime a project was created tasks were automatically assigned to each member as each task had dependencies with successors, pre-successors, as well as priorities, due dates, and important information about it.

Part two of Biosphere’s journey with Blungo was to implement Zoho CRM so they could track sales.

Now when they close a sale they move the opportunity to a specific stage in the CRM and a project is created.

Using two Zoho applications means that there is an integration between Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects, allowing the two to seamlessly work together. Two additional applications that Biosphere uses (Gmail and Dropbox) are also integrated within Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects.

Centralizing the tasks in Zoho Projects saved them a lot of time that was otherwise used to track the tasks across different applications. Saving this time has allowed them to focus more on their clients and the services they offer.

Case Study - Moriarty's Roofing

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 22:58:53 -0700

Moriarty’s Roofing is a small family owned business that was started nearly 20 years ago in Santa Cruz, California. They first began working as a small office team of 3 and have since grown to nearly 10 people.

Before Blungo

Before contacting Blungo, they had been using:

Self hosted email
Copper CRM
Dropbox for storage

With Blungo

To start, Blungo helped Moriarty’s Roofing make the switch from Dropbox and a self hosted email to the Google Suite applications. They now use Google Workspace (gmail, google calendar, and google drive, google forms etc), which resolved their storage challenges.

After Blungo’s evaluation of the current sales process and what administrative applications Moriarty’s Roofing was using they decided the next step was to switch to Zoho CRM. They selected Zoho as there were a lot of features that they needed such as sending emails from the CRM, using webforms to get leads from the website to the CRM, and tracking visitors from the website. Blungo also implemented other applications like Zoho Desk to manage all of the incoming customer emails. Now that everything is in the same place, all the teams at Moriarty’s Roofing can access those emails and nothing gets lost in an individual mailbox.

Additionally, Sales IQ was implemented to support chat on the website so visitors could message with the sales team directly and ask questions when they were on the website. Zoho Projects is used to track all of the different projects so when a deal is closed all the information gets sent to the CRM. From here it is moved to Zoho Projects so the production part of the process can be tracked. Zoho Campaigns has also been helpful for Moriarty’s Roofing to send email marketing campaigns, such as monthly newsletters.

Lastly, Blungo created automations in the CRM, campaigns, and salesIQ, using Zoho Flow to connect and automate other apps like Google Drive and Quickbooks.

Thanks to the software and automations implemented, the productivity at the office increased, and more than 1K tasks/week are completed automatically, saving the employees approximately 40 hours/week.
