TIME Investments: From Manual Processes to Unified Salesforce CRM

TIME Investments partnered with redk to modernise their CRM infrastructure, centralise data, automate processes, and improve collaboration across sales, marketing, and customer service, enabling predictable returns and stronger client relationships.

Objetivos

TIME Investments’ project was not simply a software upgrade - it was a holistic business transformation. The team sought to answer the question: “How can technology enhance the way we work?” The goal was to create operational coherence across departments, empower client-facing teams, and build a foundation for sustainable growth. This strategic lens ensured that Salesforce CRM would serve as a tool to drive meaningful business outcomes, rather than just replacing old systems.

The primary goal of the project was to equip TIME Investments with the processes, technology, and operational framework needed to become digitally mature and customer-centric. The initiative focused on standardising workflows, centralising customer data, and empowering teams to deliver best-in-class service.

Data Centralisation

Consolidate all customer and partner information into a single CRM platform.

Process Automation

Reduce reliance on manual processes by automating repetitive tasks across sales, account management, marketing, and service.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Enhance communication and coordination between client services, business development, and marketing teams.

Customer Insights

Provide a clear, accurate, and actionable view of clients to support informed business decisions.

Scalable CRM Framework

Lay the foundation for long-term growth, operational efficiency, and the adoption of future Salesforce solutions.

Desafíos y soluciones

A major challenge was that TIME Investments did not initially have a clear understanding of CRM capabilities or how to translate them into business outcomes. redk’s approach went beyond implementation, focusing on discovery, mapping operational areas into functional units, and ensuring alignment between technology, people, and processes. This approach ensured that each Salesforce solution - Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud - was deployed with maximum relevance to TIME’s real-world operations.

Resultados

A key factor in the success of the project was the governance framework established to sustain momentum. With full executive sponsorship, clear resource allocation, and ongoing redk support, TIME Investments created a repeatable model for transformation. This ensured that the benefits of CRM adoption, from centralised data to improved operational efficiency, would not only be realised immediately but also maintained and expanded over time.

Aditionally, the project enabled TIME to broaden the reach of its client services, allowing teams to form more meaningful, personalised relationships, and freeing up time to focus on strategic initiatives rather than manual administration.
