Case Study:
Sales Pipeline Automation
🏢 Company: BuildRight Equipment Suppliers (B2B construction materials)
🔗 Focus: WhatsApp Business API ↔ Odoo CRM — lead capture, pipeline tracking, reminders, analytics
📈 Results: Response time 8h → <30 min · Win rate +22% · Pipeline visibility 100% · CSAT up · Revenue +15% / 6 months
Client Overview
BuildRight is a fast-growing B2B construction materials distributor whose buyers prefer WhatsApp and phone. The team needed a scalable, trackable sales pipeline—without forcing customers to change channels.
Challenges
-
Leads trapped in silos: WhatsApp + phone on personal devices → no central history
-
Inconsistent follow-ups: missed nudges → lost deals & weak pipeline hygiene
-
Zero real-time visibility: managers couldn’t see stages, SLAs, or conversion rates
Solution:
WhatsApp ↔ Odoo CRM Sales Automation
We deployed an integrated WhatsApp Business API + Odoo CRM stack:
-
Automated Lead Capture — inbound WhatsApp inquiries auto-create Leads in Odoo with source, owner, timestamps.
-
Pipeline Tracking — each WhatsApp thread maps to a deal stage (New, Quotation, Negotiation, Closed).
-
Template Messaging — one-click catalogs, quotes, follow-ups sent from Odoo; every touchpoint is logged.
-
Reminder Automation — SLA timers trigger WhatsApp nudges for approvals, POs, and payment deadlines.
-
Analytics Dashboard — live response time, deal velocity, rep performance, and stuck-deal alerts.
How It Works (Flow)
Inbound WhatsApp → Auto-lead in Odoo → Stage set + owner → Template follow-ups → SLA nudges → Quote/PO → Close + ops handoff → Dashboard KPI update
