Global CRM Unification

Programme profile

Deployment of a global CRM and client intelligence platform across 40+ jurisdictions.

Intro

Why this work,
and why us.

Svoon designs and delivers CRM programmes that unify client intelligence across borders. We treat CRM not as a system project but as the connective tissue between marketing, business development, partners and operations — making sure every interaction, opportunity and relationship is visible, measurable and actionable.

Key Objectives

The Challenge

  • 01

    Client services, pricing and matter activity inconsistent. Client perception was that the Firm was operating inefficiently and quality of services could be improved

  • 02

    Limited central visibility of client activity, profitability, sectors, and opportunities

  • 03

    Global client, matter, revenues, relationships and lawyer activity fragmented, siloed, and unreconciled

  • 04

    Manual reporting created delays of 2–4 weeks

  • 05

    Global client, matter, and relationship data was fragmented and duplicated across many systems contributing to poor reporting and increased risk

  • 06

    Cross-border business development, referrals, client retention, and partner reward & recognition were difficult to track and manage consistently
