Instead of Adapting to Your CRM. Build One That Adapts to You!

At Parlon, building CRM systems is never about adding screens, fields, or pipelines. It’s about creating a digital backbone that truly reflects how your organisation works.

Every business has its own processes, approval flows, customer journeys, pricing methods, and communication patterns. When a CRM ignores these differences, teams struggle, adoption drops, and the system quickly becomes “another tool no one wants to use.”

That’s why tailor-made CRMs matter. They allow organisations to design their customer and operational workflows exactly as they function in real life, not as a generic template dictates.

🟣 What a Tailor-Made CRM Really Does

Think of a tailor-made CRM as a system shaped around your language, your workflow, your business logic, and your goals.

Rather than forcing teams to adapt to predefined modules, a custom CRM grows from the inside out:

• Sales teams follow the stages they actually use.

• Pricing logic mirrors your real commercial rules.

• Approvals match your organisational hierarchy.

• Customer interactions align with your channels.

• Data flows smoothly across all departments.

A tailor-made CRM becomes a natural extension of the business.

This enables teams to:

• Work faster with interfaces designed specifically for their needs.

• Reduce manual effort and duplicate entries.

• Remove unnecessary steps and friction.

• Collaborate more effectively across departments.

• Deliver a better customer experience with real-time, accurate information.

At Parlon, we see tailor-made CRM design as a core principle, because no organisation should have to reshape itself to fit a tool.

🟣 Why This Matters for Growing Organisations

Off-the-shelf CRMs appear simple at first. But as organisations grow, these systems often create:

• Cluttered workflows.

• Inconsistent processes.

• Complex workarounds.

• Low adoption.

• Difficulty adapting to new business needs.

A tailor-made CRM eliminates these issues by building processes correctly from day one.

The advantages are significant:

• A system employees actually enjoy using.

• Streamlined and automated workflows.

• Fewer errors and less manual input.

• Clear visibility across sales, operations, finance, and service.

• Faster onboarding and easier change management.

• A CRM that evolves with the business, not against it.

For companies seeking long-term digital maturity, this flexibility is invaluable.

🟣 A Technical Insight: Building a Tailor-Made CRM with Power Apps

A tailor-made CRM can be seamlessly built using Microsoft Power Apps, which provides the flexibility and power to design custom applications with low-code/no-code solutions. At Parlon, we leverage Power Apps to create CRM systems that align perfectly with your business needs, with the ability to configure:

• Custom entities: In Power Apps, we create custom entities that represent your unique business processes, such as specific customer records or service tickets.

• Custom business rules: We implement business logic in Power Apps that mirrors your commercial rules, such as dynamic pricing models, approval processes, or data validation rules.

• Automated workflows: Power Automate, integrated with Power Apps, helps automate workflows, ensuring that tasks like sending approval requests, updating statuses, or notifying teams happen automatically.

• Dynamic approvals: With Power Apps, we can set up approval workflows that are dynamic and align with your organization's hierarchy, ensuring that the right people approve the right processes at the right time.

• Integration layers: Power Apps allows seamless integration with other systems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SharePoint, or third-party apps, ensuring that data flows smoothly across platforms.

• Role-based experiences: Power Apps lets us create role-based experiences, tailoring the CRM interface based on the user's role, department, or permissions.

In practice, this means:

• When your pricing changes, the CRM updates instantly with Power Apps’ flexibility to adapt.

• If a new department is added, a new module can be created in days, not weeks.

• If teams need new screens or fields, you can add them quickly, without replacing the entire system.

This approach puts the business in the driver’s seat, creating a CRM that is structured, adaptable, and future-proof.
