Most Australian businesses using Zoho are running it at a fraction of its capability—managing manually what the platform was built to automate. Smartmates designs and builds Zoho workflow automation for businesses that have outgrown repetitive processes and need their systems to do the heavy lifting.

Four years as Zoho’s Partner of the Year and 50+ five-star reviews reflect the quality of what we deliver. Every automation engagement is scoped in writing before work begins.

Custom Workflow Design, Built Around Your Business

Before we build anything, we map your processes: where leads come from, how deals progress, where your team loses time, and what triggers a task, alert, or handover in your workflow.

The result is automation that fits your operation. Every rule, trigger, and condition is documented so your internal team understands exactly what’s running and why.

Sales Automation

Sales teams lose significant time to tasks that Zoho can handle automatically. We build automation that keeps your pipeline moving without manual intervention:

  • Lead assignment rules based on source, geography, product interest, or deal value
  • Automatic task creation at each pipeline stage so nothing falls through the gaps
  • Follow-up email sequences triggered by deal inactivity or stage movement
  • Real-time alerts when high-value deals stall, deadlines pass, or contacts go cold
  • Quote and proposal triggers tied to CRM stage progression

Service and Operations Automation

Beyond sales, Zoho Desk and Zoho Operations tools can automate the service and fulfilment side of your business with the same precision. We configure automation that handles volume without adding headcount:

  • Ticket routing based on category, priority, customer tier, or product type
  • SLA breach alerts and automatic escalation rules
  • Customer satisfaction triggers, follow-up surveys after ticket resolution
  • Internal task creation tied to service milestones or contract renewals
  • Cross-functional alerts connecting your service team to sales or accounts when relevant

Integration Automation

Zoho rarely operates in isolation. Most businesses run Zoho alongside accounting platforms, communication tools, project management software, or e-commerce systems. We build the automation bridges that keep data flowing between them without manual exports or copy-paste work.

Common integration automations we configure:

  • Zoho CRM to Xero or MYOB
    Automatic invoice creation when a deal closes.
  • Zoho CRM to Zoho Books
    Synced contact records, payment status, and credit limits.
  • Zoho Desk to Slack or Teams
    Real-time alerts for high-priority tickets.
  • Zoho CRM to Zoho Projects
    Automatic project creation when a deal reaches a delivery stage.
  • Zoho to third-party platforms
    Via Zoho Flow or API-based connections.

We document every integration so your team can manage changes without relying on us for every update.

What Automation Actually Delivers

The case for workflow automation isn’t abstract. The hours saved by eliminating manual data entry, chasing follow-ups, and routing work by hand are measurable, and they compound over time.

Businesses that automate well typically see:

  • Faster lead response times
    Automatic routing and task creation means no lead sits unassigned.
  • Fewer dropped handovers
    Automation doesn’t forget to create the follow-up task.
  • Reduced admin overhead
    Less time logging, copying, and updating records across systems.
  • Better reporting accuracy
    Data entered by automation is consistent and structured.
  • Scalability without proportional headcount growth
    The system handles volume increases without adding staff.
