Forwood Safety

Optimising Zoho CRM and Building a Connected Sales Pipeline for a Global Safety Leader

Forwood Safety is an Australian-headquartered global enterprise specialising in critical risk management and safety solutions for high-risk industries including mining, construction, energy, and manufacturing. Operating across 1,000+ sites in 60 countries, Forwood had the scale and reputation — but their sales infrastructure was not keeping pace. Their Zoho CRM was poorly managed, with fragmented processes, no website integration, and no automated lead capture from LinkedIn. These gaps meant lost opportunities and limited pipeline visibility.

Overview

The Mission of the Project

Tecomato was engaged to optimise Forwood Safety's Zoho CRM, integrate it with their website and LinkedIn via LeadsBridge, establish marketing automation workflows, and provide ongoing strategic consultation — ultimately building a connected, end-to-end sales pipeline from first contact through to close.

The Process

The Methodology Adopted

01

CRM Assessment & Process Mapping: Tecomato audited Forwood's Zoho CRM, documenting workflows, data quality issues, and process gaps limiting the sales team's effectiveness.

02

Zoho CRM Optimisation: The CRM was restructured — cleaning data, reconfiguring deal stages, refining lead scoring, and building standardised processes so the sales team could track every opportunity with clarity.

03

Website & LinkedIn Integration via LeadsBridge: A bespoke integration was built connecting Forwood's WordPress website and LinkedIn lead generation forms directly into Zoho CRM through LeadsBridge, ensuring every inbound enquiry and LinkedIn prospect was automatically captured and routed.

06

Marketing Automation & Lead Magnet Strategy: Automated workflows were designed to nurture incoming leads with targeted content and lead magnets, ensuring prospects received timely touchpoints throughout their buying journey.

05

RevOps Alignment & Ongoing Consultation: Tecomato provided strategic consultation to align sales, marketing, and CRM operations under a Revenue Operations framework — mapping the complete customer journey from first contact to close.

Impact on Business and Outcomes

Since the engagement began in May 2025, Forwood Safety now operates with a fully streamlined sales pipeline where the customer journey is mapped from first contact to close. Lead magnets engage prospects strategically, LinkedIn and website leads flow directly into Zoho without manual handling, and the sales team has clear visibility across every deal stage. Customer engagement and conversion rates have strengthened as a direct result of the connected infrastructure Tecomato built.

Conclusion

Forwood Safety's story illustrates a challenge common among global enterprises: having a powerful CRM but not using it to its potential. Tecomato's structured approach — from CRM optimisation and platform integration to RevOps alignment — gave Forwood the connected sales engine their global operations demanded.
