Partners and Integrations
Partners and Integrations
Overview
Why are integrations important? Because adding additional systems that don't work with one another, creates separate silos of information across your firm, adds complexity and takes you further away from a 'single view' of your clients and their engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
An ERM system (Enterprise Relationship Management system) is designed to automatically capture relationship information such as 'who knows who' and 'when did we last have contact'. Capturing up-to-date contact information, such as Titles, Addresses and Telephone details, an ERM system can help enrich and maintain the key information used for business development, communications, events and marketing.
An ERM system is commonly used by Professional Services firms, because existing relationships are typically what drive around 80% of annual revenue. When used in conjunction with a Client Relationship Management (CRM) / Client Lifecycle system, an ERM system can both improve data quality within these systems and remove the need for manual data entry from time poor Lawyers and Accountants.
In the most simple form, an ERM (Enterprise Relationship Management) system is focused on capturing 'who we know', where as a CRM (Customer / Client Relationship Management) system is focused on capturing 'what we know'.
Both of these things are important to Legal and Accounting firms, however 'who we know' (ERM) is not always important to businesses outside of Professional Services. Other businesses are typically not as relationship focused as Professional Services firms, they don't have large networks of referrers, their sales are transactional and they often have dedicated sales teams who are happy to manually update their core CRM system.
Client Sense has been designed specifically for Professional Services firms, embedding the benefits of Enterprise Relationship Management directly within the world's leading CRM and mailout systems.
'Best of breed' refers to using the best possible or the most appropriate solution across each particular application. This approach allows a firm to choose the right solution(s) for their specific requirements, rather than trying to use one single system to address a range of different requirements.
A key benefit of a best of breed approach, is that it allows each application / vendor to expertly focus on one solution, offering greater flexibility and ensuring that a firm has the option to upgrade any one part of their solution stack independently, as they see fit.
Those old enough to remember the 'all-in-one' Televisions with built-in DVD players, will appreciate that while there are some benefits to an all-in-one technology, having either part of the system fail, becoming outdated or no longer adequate, often meant needing to repurchase both, reverting back to a 'best of breed' approach.
We are constantly adding new integrations, but we have also designed Client Sense to be easily connected with other data sources and APIs.
If you / your firm is running a system not listed above, then let us know! You can contact us here or email us at support@clientsense.com.
Yes, Client Sense not only connects to multiple systems, but it can connect to multiple systems at the one time. By way of example, this allows a firm to easily transition from one Mailout or CRM system to another, cleaning the data in the process and allowing the firm to transition smoothly, knowing nothing will be overlooked or lost in the process.
Yes, integrations are included at no extra cost. These integrations are critical to providing firm's with a true 'single view' of the engagements they are having with each of their clients, contacts and referrers, regardless of the systems used.
Taking an integrated approach, allows the firms we work with to take a modern and data-driven approach to Business Development, Marketing and Client Care, which creates more opportunities and increases client retention.

Our commercial teams receive the majority of their instructions through our referrer network. Staying in front of referrers and remaining front of mind is essential. This has highlighted for us the need to have a more structured and traceable process for managing key relationships. Client Sense has provided us with the necessary tools to manage and track those relationships.
The key to growth within a professional services firm is building long term productive relationships and ensuring you have the right tools to keep you on track with staying in contact; either through a CRM, your own calendar or using a tool like Client Sense. Remembering that people will buy from the people they trust and like, these tools will assist to stay front of mind and build and grow the relationships, when used properly an integrated into your daily activity.
The firm has utilised Client Sense as an integral part of its Client Lifecycle Management platform for about 12 months. Whilst Client Sense has proved a useful business development tool, its real benefit comes in the visibility it provides across our entire client base. By providing us with a means of tracking and measuring the strength and depth of our client relationships, it allows us to be on the front foot when it comes to managing and improving client engagement – even highlighting opportunities for cross selling we may have otherwise missed.
Furthermore its ability to capture relationships not reflected in our database means our data remains current, is not reliant on manual entry and our teams can focus their time and energy on growth opportunities for the firm.
Client Sense has been simply amazing! Not only did it take less than a day to implement, but the benefits for our Management, Marketing and IT teams were realised in just days.
Client Sense gives our Marketing and Business Development team visibility that was not readily available before, enabling us to support our lawyers with real-time information and in-depth insights.
The Client Sense solution has truly contributed to us being more informed and proactive around our BD and CX programs.
As soon as we installed Client Sense, we were able to unlock clear and succinct insights into our key client groups. This has provided our entire firm (especially Partners) with intel that strengthens relationships, and informs our business strategy. It’s also a game-changer for business development planning.
One of the biggest hurdles with relationship mapping is the quality and frequency of data entry, but because Client Sense is automatically generated the reporting is up to date and accurate. It also doesn’t require any additional BD or lawyer support resource-wise.
With multiple partners and practice groups, it is impossible to always know exactly who knows who. Client Sense allows us to find information quickly and easily about the strength of relationships with have with clients and contacts of our firm, and pursue opportunities accordingly.
Good relationship management is key to a firm’s success. With Client Sense we can monitor the strength of these relationships in real time, identifying growth trends and any elements of concern. This allows us to capitalise on opportunities and identify any threats quickly and easily. As well as developing our client and referrer relationships, we’ve also used Client Sense to develop out internal relationships, identifying common relationships across practice groups and create a real team approach to cross selling and relationship management. Using real time data gives us confidence we have the visibility of how these relationships are really going, and allows us to provide reports that give true insight into the strength of our relationships and opportunities available, as well as tracking the success of our targeting projects. And the best bit is, it is so easy to use!
Client Sense provides us with the visibility to easily manage our key client and referrer relationships, through a clean and simple interface.
BDO are delighted to be clients of Client Sense. As BDO is a relationship-focused business, it is amazing to see the insights we can gain from our relationships in real-time. This happens magically, without manual administration, so the insights are accurate and instant. Most impressively, Client Sense provides more than just a historical view – by connecting our Relationship Partners with our key contacts, the system offers pro-active alerts into which relationship are changing, or need to be re-ignited.
Steve Tyndall, the CEO is hands-on, actively involved in client on boarding and training and always very open to new ideas so Client Sense can keep innovating.
