Digital Transformation Example 5: End-to-End CRM-ERP
Context
The commercial, financial, and delivery processes were operating in separate systems: Dynamics 365 for sales pipeline management, Bit2Win for quoting, DocuSign for contracting, Stripe for invoicing and subscriptions, standardized SOW templates in Word, and Trello boards used by consultants. Each tool served its purpose but worked in isolation.
As a result, teams repeatedly re-entered the same customer information, quotes were created manually, contract approval flows were inconsistent, and delivery teams often lacked updated project details. This fragmentation slowed the sales cycle, increased operational overhead, and made it difficult to maintain a single source of truth.
Challenge
The objective was to design a fully integrated, end-to-end workflow that connects all steps of the customer lifecycle: opportunity creation, quoting, contract approval, invoicing, project setup, and consultant task management.
The ambition was not just technical integration, but a business transformation: enabling predictable processes, consistent customer experiences, and real-time visibility across sales, finance, and delivery.
The solution required strong governance, standardized data models, secure API communication, and reusable integration patterns that can evolve with future growth.
Solution
I designed and delivered an integration platform anchored around Dynamics 365 Sales as the central system of record. All surrounding tools, quoting, contracting, billing, SOW generation, and delivery operations, were orchestrated through a unified flow that ensures data consistency and eliminates manual handovers.
The transformation introduced a connected digital backbone:
1. Opportunity-driven quoting
When an opportunity reaches a defined stage, the system automatically generates
a Bit2Win quote using the products, pricing rules, and discount logic captured
in CRM. Sales teams no longer start from scratch; all relevant context is
already present.
2. Digital contracting with DocuSign
Approved quotes trigger the automatic creation of a DocuSign envelope, including the correctly structured contract documents. Status updates flow back into CRM, ensuring visibility for sales, legal, and management teams.
3. Automated billing and subscription management
Upon contract signature, Stripe billing objects (customers, subscriptions, or one-off charges) are created without manual intervention. This tightly links commercial commitments to billing execution, reducing delays and errors.
4. Standardized SOW generation
The solution automatically assembles a Statement of Work based on standardized templates, enriched with opportunity and quote metadata. SOW documents are stored consistently, enabling both compliance and operational efficiency.
5. Seamless project handoff to delivery teams
The moment a contract is signed, Trello cards are created for the delivery consultants, containing customer details, project information, timelines, and tasks. This enables an immediate, structured transition from sales to execution.
Across all integrations, reusable service wrappers and configuration-driven endpoints ensure maintainability, consistent behaviour, and secure communication across environments.
