CRM & Systems Assessment

Know what to do next. Before you spend more.

An independent, structured review for businesses deciding whether to buy, build, replace or improve their CRM. Understand your options, the risks and the next steps before committing to a larger project.

A small engagement that answers the big questions.

We begin with your business goals, current systems and shortlisted options. Then we examine technical fit, integration, licensing assumptions and long-term flexibility before recommending a practical way forward.

Questions worth asking

What does the assessment cost?

We scope the review first and agree a fixed fee based on the systems, options and depth of analysis required.

Will you inspect the actual product architecture?

Where access is available and included in scope, we can examine technical artefacts rather than relying solely on vendor claims.

Do we have to use Trevelyn for implementation?

No. The assessment is a standalone advisory engagement; you can use the findings with your own team or supplier.

What’s included?

A review of your processes, your current system and any shortlisted options, conversations with the people who use it, and a written assessment with risks, trade-offs and a recommended route forward, followed by a walkthrough.

How long does it take?

A focused assessment is usually delivered in a few days, and larger reviews take longer. We confirm the timescale when we agree the fixed fee.

What do you need from us?

Access to the system or a demo of it, any relevant documents or proposals, and time with a few of the people who use it.

Who this is for

Leaders who need a clear, evidence-based answer about their CRM before committing to a bigger spend.

Your CRM is up for renewal

You want to know whether it’s still the right choice.

Users have stopped trusting it

Data is out of date, workarounds are everywhere and adoption is low.

A big change is coming

Growth, a merger or a new process means the system needs to do more.
