Efficiency at KGS is Driven by Custom CRM and Kompass Platforms

Key Group Services

For over 12 years, we’ve worked closely with KGS on long-term CRM software development projects and other digital tools to support daily business operations. Together, we’ve built a website, a customer relationship management system, and a Health & Safety and HR platform named Kompass.

Both the CRM and Kompass platforms are built on a large-scale WordPress multisite setup. Over 300 sites run on each platform, forming a strong foundation for managing customer data, internal workflows and client communications.

Custom CRM Solutions for Better Management

Comprehensive CRM

We delivered a centralised platform through a complete custom CRM development process, tailored to KGS’s unique business needs. The system works as a unified CRM system, helping teams manage client records, track orders with Xero integration, run lead nurturing and sales processes, and automate tasks using built-in workflow automation. Advanced data management and strict data security controls keep information organised and protected. Acting as a core customer relationship management CRM, it improves admin efficiency and gives complete visibility across all customer interactions.

Event and Case Management Tools

We introduced tools for event handling and case tracking with full Office 365 integration and notification alerts. This ensures every customer interaction is captured and managed in real time. The result is faster response times, smoother processes and stronger customer relationships. It also reduces pressure on staff by improving day-to-day service delivery for all CRM users. Over time, this has helped KGS build a more consistent and reliable customer experience across their organisation.

The Kompass Platform

Kompass was created using React and integrates seamlessly with WordPress as a headless CMS. It’s a modular, bespoke CRM setup built for flexibility and easy CRM integration with each client’s existing systems. Each Kompass site includes branded layouts (logos, colour schemes), role-based access control, built-in encryption and data encryption features, and strong compliance measures to protect sensitive customer data. It’s designed for scalability and offers a smooth user experience across all devices.

Bespoke CRM Software Tailored to Each Client

The success of this project comes from our focus on custom CRM software and our ability to build a truly custom CRM solution. Each client benefits from fully tailored features, Adaptable tools that support evolving needs, and Improved sales pipelines and internal communication. By developing CRM software that fits their workflow, we’ve helped them reduce admin time, boost productivity, and enable smarter decision-making across the company.
