Scope of Work for a Real Estate Company

Scope Notes

For this project the goal is to onboard monday.com into the tech stack as a CRM in tandem with SalesForce and in full replacement of Apto. We can achieve this by first storing our properties in an organized and efficient manor, then linking their owners and poc(s). Once the infrastructure is determined we will work on a data migration from Apto to monday.com allowing the use of Apto to be eliminated at this time. We will then work on creating a sales pipeline that allows for the tracking from prospect to a sold property. This will intertwine with the properties and contacts boards that we create. We will finalize everything with some dashboards and documentation / training
After finalizing the scope and its components we are looking at about 6 weeks from the kickoff data. I also noted some overlap that can take place to be more efficient, that is we should be able to start the data transfer while we are working on the first component and then continue it while we start the CRM side. This is primary because we will pull in additional resources during this time. Lastly, the CRM Sales pipeline part can take 3 weeks it may also be done sooner with the well provided documentation, I just want to be sure to give ourselves enough time with expectations.

Scope of Work for a Cyber Security Company

Scope Notes

Cyber Security Company came to monday.com in order to handle their CRM needs. Initially they started with the monday.com Sales + CRM and an advanced onboarding. During this
process they quickly realized that actually they need their CRM to be built custom for them first and then they can begin to use it. In the past they have used SFDC to manage
their sales process however, this system was never setup correctly. During the scoping call we went through a flow chart that showcases how the sales process goes from
lead capture to a won deal. We will build out the monday.com Sales + CRM product to their needs and then help with a SFDC data transfer of their accounts and contacts. I
will also make note that we discussed the connection for invoicing and ERP but are not going to work on this during this scope of work, but they may be something coming
down the line.

We are going to start in the accounts and contacts boards to make sure the fields are setup properly and the connections are setup correctly to the leads and deals board for their process. We will then go into the Leads board but this will be a quick and short stop for the time being as it is more important to focus on opportunity management and we can circle back around to the leads side for integrations of lead flow and data enrichment. After we process through the leads board and the lead has been qualified it will become an opportunity. During this process we will need to ensure we have “required fields” setup by using the force item creation through a form. We will also have some simple followup cadence automations in place to get the client into a proposal stage. As we get into the proposal / scoping stage we will need to have it connected with the Engineering teams system (who is already setup in monday.com) in order to create the scope. We can create an automation here with a connected column to reflect the engineering teams status of the scope back in the sales board. Once the Scope is done we will create a proposal and use DocuSign to send for signature. Once everything is set on the sales end we can initiate another automation to send back to the Engineering team to begin on the project. Once the opportunities board is flowing and communicating with the engineering team we can move onto importing the accounts and contacts from SFDC. We can then create dashboards and provide training on how to use the CRM.

Scope of Work for a Solar Company

Scope Notes

Solar company  is new to monday.com and wants to use it for project management to get out of their current project management software of pipedrive. They do have a sales team
of individuals who utilize their own software for sales but will likely be viewers inside of their monday.com system for the time being. As far as the process goes and what we
will build in there is a well documented flow chart provided with this scope of work that outlines the general process we are creating. Starting at the post sales process and
ending with a routine checkin to see how everything is working. I have outlined the high level of the process below to give us an estimate on the amount of time this will take to
build and as the architects get to work on it there will be more specific details needed.

Once a project comes in they will review the project and ensure they have everything that is needed before going to financing. After financing step it goes back to the project management process where we schedule out and dispatch a site survey to be completed. We will utilize SuperForm to develop site survey forms that can be filled out by the crew and connected back to monday.com Once this site survey comes back we are able to record the data and connect it back to the project. From here it will go into a Cad to-do process where any of the CAD team members will take it up and begin working on it.
From here there is a review process to get it approved. Once approved CAD it will be ready for permitting which is where it starts to get “wonky” this is because there are many splits in this process based on the service they are getting. These splits will require us to build out different process for the items to fall within, but we want to keep this within the same board. They will get the permits back or make edits to get further permits. We need to track permit status separately as one can be approved but we can be pending the other. Then we get into dispatching the crew out for installing. If there is an MPU vs no MPU this dispatching process is different. Similarly the the site survey their will be another superform here for a post install survey and connect this back to the project.
We then need to verify we got everything we needed back from the job and then schedule a final on site inspection to verify everything is good to go. Depending on if it passes or fails we can proceed forward or go back fix and repeat If we passed then we get a final card and then submit to utility company to turn on the power “PTO”. If the power company says we need a transformer upgrade we keep following up until done, otherwise we are now live. Lastly, We want to keep track of jobs completed and have a long term follow up if any issues arise and ensure satisfaction.
