Custom CRM Development

A CRM built around your business.
Not the other way around.

Grove Hill Research is a small consultancy that designs and builds custom CRM systems for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't fit the big one-size-fits-all platforms. Your workflow, your fields, your pipeline — built exactly the way you work.

What We Build

Every engagement is different, but most of the systems we deliver include some combination of the following.

Contact & Account Management

A centralized database of your contacts, companies, and accounts — with the custom fields, tags, and relationships your business actually uses, plus full interaction history on one timeline.

Sales Pipeline & Deal Tracking

Visual pipelines with stages that match your real sales process. Deal values, close dates, owner assignment, and win/loss tracking — no forcing your process into someone else's template.

Tasks & Follow-Ups

Task lists, due dates, and automatic follow-up reminders tied to contacts and deals, with a daily agenda view so nothing slips through the cracks.

Reporting & Dashboards

Pipeline value by stage, conversion rates, activity by team member, and revenue forecasting — the numbers you need, on one dashboard, exportable when you need them elsewhere.

Account Notifications

Email and opt-in SMS alerts built into your system — sign-in and security notifications, task and follow-up reminders, and service updates, with granular per-user preferences.

Integrations & Migration

We migrate your existing data from spreadsheets or legacy tools and connect your CRM to the services you already use — email, calendars, billing, and more.

How We Work

1

Discovery

We sit down with you to map how your business actually tracks customers today — what works, what doesn't, and what the system needs to do.

2

Design & Build

We design the data model and workflows around your process, then build iteratively — you see working software early and often, not a big reveal at the end.

3

Launch & Migration

We migrate your existing data, train your team, and launch. Your system runs on secure, modern cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest.

4

Ongoing Support

Businesses change, and your CRM should keep up. We offer ongoing support and enhancement retainers so your system evolves with you.

About Our SMS Notifications

CRM systems we build and operate can deliver account notification text messages — such as security alerts, task and follow-up reminders, and service updates — to users who opt in. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Users can reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. See our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for full details.
