Being Data wizards in hearts, the OctoMatrix team believes in a huge impact of using data the right way. Our implementation checklist consists of ~450+ points, with about 260 automations, including complex workflows, data validation, auto-cleaning, and of course Deluge programming, which makes your automated business platform as flexible as it can be.
These automations save 400+ working hours for each of our clients every month.
Coming from different backgrounds ranging from GPS mapping and Cartography in general, to Advanced Behavioral Marketing, CRM Integrations, Botany, and Mycology – we deliver tailored automation solutions designed to meet your business needs.
It starts with shifting repetitive, time-consuming tasks from humans to bots or server-side logic 🐙. These automations follow clear business rules and run on a schedule — precisely when they should.
They update records, send follow-ups, assign leads, and more — all without manual input. The best part? They work 24/7, even while you’re asleep.
Think about the tasks you handle manually every day: sending emails, triggering WhatsApp messages, requesting approvals, assigning leads… Now imagine all of that happening automatically.
Every minute counts. At the end of the day, you just sum up all these automated processes, that don’t need your attention anymore. That’s the time you saving. Now you can multiply it by the hour/dollars paid to your employees every month – this is the money you’ve saved.
Automation has become a key to success for small and medium businesses – now nearly 60% of the companies use automations that help them win the competition. Deal closing, confirmations, lead generation, task tracking, or customer retention – you name it.
Free yourself from these actions and focus on the strategy instead. Dedicate your time to constantly grow your business.
If the sale implies the actual visit, the GPS Logistics platform can also be added. Every trip takes a significant time and the saleperson needs to first visit the most promising clients. What can be improved in his logistics?
Imagine all his customers mapped in one area of San Francisco, California.
In short: having more clients evenly distributed in one area – not only guarantees complete coverage, but also cuts the transportation cost. And most importantly – it saves the sales rep plenty of time and energy, immediately invested in every sale. He always has a plan B, when some meeting is canceled, but he can pay a visit to another customer nearby.
Now instead of visiting 1 client in some remote area, he sends personal Whatsapp messages to 5 of them automatically, and manages to schedule 2 meetings, cutting gas losses by half and saving the time of 1 trip. As a result – more deals are closed in less time.
Repeating the process again and again, he goes the extra mile and exceeds his monthly forecast.
A simple affiliate system also applies to the Last Mile effect. Some of his clients will be more than happy to refer and connect him with their neighbours, receiving a small commission in return.
The mystery lies in the trust index between the affiliated customer and his neighbour. The sales rep skips the part, where he actually needs to convince the client, as your product is already vouched for.
Geo-data mining also comes in handy. Enrich the territory and subdivide into smaller areas, distribute between more salespersons afterwards – as a result, the time response will be significantly lower for each customer, and more deals are closed.
We use open map data to harvest new customers and enrich old one. After processing this data is uploaded to your CRM. No hustle for you. Now you can segment these records, use advanced automation to engage them, and plan daily routes.
Measure the efficiency, compare different business strategies, and make data-driven decisions.
Take a closer look at the metrics and graphs of anything happening in your business. Receive notifications of all the important parameters, anomalies, spikes, and deviations in real time. Everything is measurable, all the data is cross-related.
Also enjoy the benefits of our special Automation dash, which shows how much money and time this CRM implementation is saving for your business. You just need to specify the following parameters.
The average monthly savings:
400+ working hours* for a team of: CEO, 1 Sales Manager, 3 Sales reps, 1 Purchase manager, 1 Warehouseman, 1 Marketer, 1 Bookkeeper, 1 Support, 1 HR.

Instead of constantly looking over your sales rep’s shoulder, create a clear Blueprint that automatically guides them through every stage of the sales pipeline. Sleep better knowing you’ll receive stats and reports directly to your email, dashboard or even your office TV screen.
Wouldn’t it be easier to have a workflow system that supports you every step of the way?
Each stage of your Blueprint includes Before, During, and After actions.
Before
Set entry criteria to control which records can enter this part of the pipeline.
During
Trigger updates, adds attachments, notes, and assign tasks. All the input can be validated as well.
After
Send notifications, assign tasks, create meetings, update fields, trigger webhooks, and more.
For example, the sales rep shouldn’t be allowed to proceed with the discount for this particular customer, if the Deal amount is lower than 10K US$. In that case, a warning message will alert him.
His job is to follow the workflow, smoothly crossing through each stage of the pipeline, while the platform’s programmed automations handle the rest in the background — no human input needed.
What can be performed in the After stage? The Blueprint allows to automate Email Notifications, short notice about the deal progress, Tasks to be completed, Meetings to attend, or Whatsapp notifications among others.
As you can see, the applications and flexibility of the Blueprint are almost limitless and can be tailored to any business, not only small and medium-sized.

Managing the clientele list involves reaching out via Email, WhatsApp, and phone calls with meetings.
Email templates dynamically populate customer name, transaction details, or bring some personalized solution for this specific group of customers. Which makes the letter seem to be more personal, significantly increasing the open rate and sale probability.
Some small and medium business CRMs offer the option to schedule email and send it at the time your client is more prone to check his email. Based on the previous interactions [ AI powered ]. Others provide email tracking features as well.
When you include a contact form on the website – all the submissions end up in CRM. The Lead immediately receives an auto-response welcome email with the follow-up question, starting the onboarding process. The same which the salesperson would normally ask in the first communication. One step ahead always. Again, no humans involved.
With the tracking system in place, every Lead comes with UTM parameters which include the Campaign name, Source, and the link, where the customer landed. The link in this case often points to a specific product of interest. What allows to automatically segment and group these clients, assign them to the right salesperson, or perform any automation based on a particular business logic.
Automated follow-ups can include overdue payments, service quality surveys, shipping details, and abandoned shopping cart notifications to name a few.
Properly implemented email automation will cover all this, and personalize each letter, fetching the data from a specific record in the customer CRM. Avoiding human mistakes, no manual input is needed anymore.

Let’s talk about using your customer’s mobile number—whether it’s linked to WhatsApp or not.
How can WhatsApp support your marketing and communication efforts?
WhatsApp automation is a powerful tool in your arsenal. You can use it to share tailored offers, product updates, utility messages with transaction IDs, shipping confirmations, or even project status updates.
All WhatsApp conversations are logged within each CRM record — just like Emails, Deals, Tasks, Quotes, and more. It’s very convenient to have this cross-related data in one place, what makes everything easier to track and manage.
WhatsApp Templates offer tremendous advantages. Similar to email templates, they dynamically insert the customer’s name or any other data from the record. This eliminates manual entry, reduces human error, and allows you to schedule messages to be delivered at the perfect moment.
For instance, a payment reminder shouldn’t be a hassle, or rely on someone’s memory.
Another smart way to use a customer’s mobile number is through automated SMS notifications sent via your CRM. Similar to WhatsApp automation, these messages are created using personalized templates that pull data directly from the customer’s record.
The key difference? SMS messages are far less common these days, so your message won’t get lost in the noise. It lands in a nearly empty inbox, making it hard to miss.
While phone calls can be scheduled, they can’t be fully automated—aside from certain survey calls powered by bots. However, a more sophisticated implementation will definitely bring the IP telephony to the table.
With IP telephony, your team sees the caller ID and all relevant CRM data — tasks, notes, and open deals instantly. Most CRMs also offer a click-to-call feature, which saves time and eliminates dialing errors.
What happens during a sales rep’s call?
The rep adds information directly to the customer’s CRM record. Ideally, this data is standardized using predefined options in picklists, ensuring consistency and saving time down the line.
This approach allows records to be grouped and segmented more effectively. Since the parameters are consistent and error-free, they support more accurate searches and better data filtering.
In addition, certain fields like phone numbers, ZIP codes, or tracking IDs require manual input and must be validated. For instance, a phone number should contain exactly 10 digits; ZIP codes must follow a specific format; and identifiers such as tracking codes, Employer Identification Numbers, or Social Security Numbers often follow strict formatting rules.
One of the key advantages of using the right CRM is that it can handle these validations automatically, in line with your company’s business process logic.
The consistency of the data translates into more meaningful reports, increased revenue, and higher CRM adoption.
Glad you asked. A properly implemented CRM should absolutely include data cleaning. As a key part of automation, it reduces manual effort and boosts employee efficiency by eliminating the need to correct input errors themselves.
For example, if you plan to use a mobile number for WhatsApp messaging or a simple call, the number needs to follow a specific format.
Let’s say one of your clients is the San Jose Museum of Art in California. You copy the number +1 (408) 271-6840 into the CRM, and the system automatically strips brackets, spaces, and hyphens resulting in: +14082716840.
Now this number is ready to be used for WhatsApp automation and phone calls. This standardized format also prevents duplicate records.
« He who owns the information, owns the world » – Nathan Mayer Rothschild.
It can start with something as simple as a filtered list — highlighting clients who show the most interest, grouped by deal size or any parameter that matters to your business.
Some sales reps prefer a Kanban-style view, which brings structure to their process. It allows them to move records, tasks, or deals between columns, keeping items with similar characteristics grouped together.
The idea is simple: bring the juiciest deals to the top so the salesperson can focus on the most valuable opportunities first and give them the attention they deserve.
It’s helpful to maintain a dedicated list that only includes leads with no prior interaction — no emails, no calls, except for automated messages.
The salesperson can work through this list methodically, ensuring no opportunity is overlooked and every potential customer receives the attention they deserve.

RFM is a method used to analyze customer behavior, focusing on three key factors: Recency, Frequency, and Monetary. It helps you categorize and segment your customers based on how recently they made a transaction, how often they buy, and how much they spend. This model supports highly targeted and personalized marketing and sales strategies.
Scoring rules help track how each customer interacts with your business, allowing you to focus your outreach efforts and boost conversions.
Use scoring to gain insight into customer behavior. For example, if someone doesn’t open your emails three times in a row, that’s usually a sign of disinterest. A well-configured scoring system might subtract 10 points for each unopened email — giving that contact a score of -30.
Now compare that to a more engaged lead — someone who opens, reads, and even replies to your emails. If they open all three, that’s +20 each. Click a link? Add +40 more per action. Their score quickly adds up to +180.
Big difference, right?
For every email opened: Add +20
For every email not opened: Subtract -10
For every link clicked: Add +40
For every email bounced: Subtract -5
WhatsApp message received in CRM: Add +20
Wouldn’t it be useful to have a dedicated list for this group? With filters? Yes, please.
When paired with other metrics like demographics, these insights can help marketers — or even the sales team — uncover valuable patterns. For example, clients in San Jose, California, tend to open emails more frequently, while those in Fresno respond better to phone calls. With flexible, automated logic in place, the system can segment these customers into more accurate groups on its own.
Website lead form submissions, cart abandonments, webinar attendance, newsletter signups — every action counts. Each one contributes to smarter segmentation and more precise targeting.

How to Generate Fresh Leads?
Generating new leads often starts with a well-executed, locally targeted marketing campaign. This approach helps attract potential clients within a specific area, increasing the chances of meaningful engagement.
Once the leads begin to come in, personalized WhatsApp messages can be an effective way to establish initial contact. When this communication is managed directly within a CRM platform, the process becomes much more efficient — no need to switch between tabs or manually transfer data. Everything stays organized in one place, allowing teams to focus on building relationships instead of handling logistics.
From the same interface, the salesperson can create Deals, set Tasks and Reminders, update client details, and refine segmentation by adding tags. Some of this segmentation is handled automatically on the server side — for example, distinguishing between clients who came through the contact form and those who arrived via Social Media ads.
The most promising leads are converted into closed deals, while others are nurtured through newsletters and follow-ups, eventually leading to more sales.
