Your sales team closes a deal in HubSpot. Your ops team creates a project in Asana. Your accountant wonders why the numbers don't match.
When your CRM and project management tools don't talk:
- Duplicated data entry: sales logs a deal, someone manually creates a project
- Lost context: the project team doesn't know the deal closed at a loss or has a short deadline
- Missed handoffs: the deal closes Friday, but the project doesn't start until Tuesday
- Broken reporting: you can't tie revenue back to the actual work delivered
Most NZ agencies and consultancies doing this manually waste NZD $800-1500/month in duplicate labour.
