BlueNRG Zoho One Case Study
Introduction
Overview
BlueNRG purchased the Zoho One bundle to maintain a central repository of Customer data and to refine and digitize their business processes. To help understand and utilize the full range of functionalities offered by the Zoho One suite, they sought guidance from a Zoho Partner who had expert knowledge of all the different product offerings in the Zoho One Suite and the know-how to mould it to BlueNRG’s business needs.
After evaluating different Partners based in Australia, Blue NRG engaged with FI Digital as their Zoho Partner of choice. This partnership has been ongoing for two years now and FI Digital has enhanced different aspects of BlueNRG’s Zoho One such as Contract Automation Signing, Online Quote Comparisons, Marketing Automations, Automated Lead Generation from multiple Sources, Integration with Blue NRG’s third party application suite etc to extract maximum value out of their Zoho Investment.
This case study highlights the implementation of the Zoho One Suite to help BlueNRG optimize their business process flows. The core set up is around Zoho CRM and Zoho Desk, which provides a platform for the Customer engagement teams to manage the end to end customer journey and provide post-sales Support their customers respectively.
BlueNRG also works with different IT Service Providers to streamline and set up their suite of applications. The chosen Zoho Partner must also work together closely with different IT teams and bridge the gaps in Zoho knowledge, to ensure BlueNRG gets the best value and solutions for their investments.

Problem statement and key challenges
- – Capturing and managing the Lead’s data from multiple Sources
- – Lack of an Integrated suite of Applications leading to longer turnaround times
- – Lack of Automations in Sales Processes and Marketing Journeys
- – Unified Customer 360 Tracking for Sales, Marketing and Support
BlueNRG wanted a proactive solution to address these challenges and a Zoho Partner who can optimize their Zoho One setup to caters to their business requirements and customer needs.
Evaluation of the problem
BlueNRG wanted to optimize the existing processes configured in the Zoho Desk and Zoho CRM Applications to improve the system efficiency and their team’s performance.
To analyze the data accurately and have a visualization of the data points, a variety of Reports and Dashboards were required to be developed.
To enhance productivity, automated workflows were needed, which could lead to better consumer satisfaction.
To create new opportunities, targeted Marketing & EDM Campaigns and Customer Segmentation were needed by the Marketing team. That aimed to give their customers the best of valuable suggestions and generate new opportunities for the business.
Proposed Solution
Zoho CRM will act as a central Customer database where the data from all the external sources will be stored and managed via third-party integrations like Spark and Accurassi. Zoho CRM’s integration with Accurassi will involve the sync function to sync the Customer’s personal information and the Form PDF with BlueNRG’s Zoho CRM Leads from the Webpage where Quote comparison will be done via Accurassi. Other functionalities include online forms built using Zoho Forms that can be embedded into websites and email campaigns, Zoho Sign for Contract Signing Automation with Spark, CRM Reports and Dashboards and workflow automation to enhance the Sales Process efficiency and help their users have a complete picture of the lead journey starting from lead generation to contract signing.
Configuration of Zoho Desk included the implementation of features like assignment rules, workflow automation, SLAs and Reports to help Agents track and address the enquiries raised by their customers efficiently.
Implementation
The delivery time varied for the different requirements but the proposed solution was delivered as per the customer expectation. Zoho One acts as a valuable asset in the BlueNRGs application stack and acts as a daily driver for Service delivery.
FI Digital supported BlueNRG with the delivery of the Proposed Solution, Training, and Documentation, and continues to provide Ongoing Support for query resolution, new feature suggestions, ongoing enhancements etc.
Result
FI Digital has been providing Zoho Expertise and Support to BlueNRG for almost two years and expects this partnership to continue in the years to come.
