NCS Case Study

Custom CRM

AI-Powered Sales Platform Built for NCS

When HubSpot and Zoho couldn't deliver what National Crime Search needed, The Dandelion built a custom CRM from the ground up — complete with AI sales agents powered by deep company knowledge.

The Challenge

Off-the-shelf wasn't cutting it

National Crime Search tried the big names. HubSpot. Zoho. They all promised flexibility and customization. But when it came to NCS's specific needs, they all fell short.

The problems were consistent:

  • Generic sales workflows that didn't match how NCS actually sells
  • AI features that couldn't understand their specific services
  • Expensive customization that still required workarounds
  • Data trapped in silos, disconnected from other business systems

NCS needed a CRM that worked the way they work — not the other way around. And they needed AI that actually understood their business.

AI Sales Agents

Sales automation that actually works

The AI sales agents built into NCS's custom CRM aren't generic chatbots. They're intelligent assistants powered by The Dandelion platform, with deep knowledge of NCS's services, pricing, competitive advantages, and customer needs.

When a lead asks a question, the AI doesn't guess — it provides accurate, helpful responses based on real company information. When it's time to qualify a lead or move them through the pipeline, the AI knows exactly what to do.

The ROI of custom development

💰 No More Workarounds

Every hour spent working around CRM limitations is an hour not spent selling. With a custom CRM, NCS's sales team works efficiently without fighting their tools. The system works the way they do, not the other way around.

⏱️ Faster Sales Cycles

AI-powered automation handles routine tasks instantly. Lead qualification, follow-ups, and data entry happen automatically, letting the sales team focus on closing deals instead of administrative work.

📈 Higher Conversion Rates

When AI agents can actually answer questions accurately and move leads through the pipeline intelligently, more leads convert. No more lost opportunities due to slow responses or incorrect information.

🔮 Future-Proof Investment

Unlike off-the-shelf tools that change pricing or features without warning, NCS owns their custom CRM. It evolves with their business, adding new capabilities as needs change — without vendor lock-in.

"We spent years trying to make generic CRMs work for us. The custom solution The Dandelion built does everything we need, exactly the way we need it. Our sales team actually enjoys using it — and our numbers show it."
