Pipeline CRM: Sales Pipeline Management

1. Functional Core & Technical Capabilities

Visual Pipeline Interface

Drag-and-drop deal management across fully customizable pipeline stages. Default stages include Qualified Lead, Proposal, Contract, and Signed — all of which can be renamed or replaced. Supports both list view and Kanban board view for managing deals at different workflow preferences.

Multi-Pipeline Support

Teams can run multiple simultaneous pipelines for different product lines, sales teams, or deal types (available on Develop and Grow plans). Each pipeline maintains independent stages, filters, and reporting.

Deal Record Architecture

• Up to 25 custom fields per deal page for capturing proprietary data points
• Full activity history: emails, calls, notes, tasks, and file attachments logged per deal
• Linked relationships: each deal connects to a Contact and a Company record
• Deal value, close date, probability, and custom weighted scoring

Smart Agenda

An AI-driven daily prioritization layer that surfaces the most time-sensitive deals and follow-up tasks for each salesperson automatically, reducing reliance on manual task management.

Sales Forecasting

Weighted pipeline forecasting based on deal stage probability. Managers can identify which salespeople are on track to hit quota and project revenue against targets. Historical trend analysis supports data-driven quota setting.

Commission Automation

Automated sales commission calculations reduce administrative overhead and provide full transparency for remote and distributed sales teams.

Leaderboards & Performance Pulse

Team leaderboards and performance pulse metrics create healthy competitive visibility across sales reps. Available on the Develop and Grow plans.
