CRM Consolidation

We help SaaS companies migrate from expensive enterprise CRMs (like HubSpot Professional or Salesforce) to self-hosted Twenty CRM. Your team keeps the workflows that matter, drops the features they never used, and redirects savings into headcount.

This engagement model illustrates our approach, methodology, and typical outcomes for this type of project.

The Challenge

The Problem

Many SaaS companies pay enterprise CRM prices while actively using only a fraction of the features. Workflow friction slows reps down. Automation workflows accumulate with unclear dependencies. Leadership worries about data portability and losing historical records during migration.

Our Approach

How We Solve It

Self-hosted Twenty CRM replicates the workflows the team actually uses with a faster interface. n8n replaces opaque vendor automation with transparent, documented workflows. Data migration preserves full relational structure and activity history.

Typical Approach

Usage-driven CRM audit shadowing reps through actual workflows
Data migration of contacts, companies, and deals with full history
Active vendor workflows rebuilt in n8n with improvements
Lead assignment enhanced with workload balancing
Parallel run validating accuracy before cutover
Sales rep and RevOps training with documented runbooks

Typical Timeline

Actual timelines vary based on scope and complexity.
