Things to Consider

    • Sales managers can view Opportunities across all users.

  • Sales Process and the associated Milestones should already be set up.

    • These determine the stages visible on your Opportunity Kanban board.


What is CRM+ Reloaded

CRM+ Reloaded is an integrated sales pipeline management tool within BuildOps. It helps your sales team track Opportunities from lead to close, collaborate with operations, and create Service Agreements, Quoted jobs and Projects all in one platform.

It’s designed to support end-to-end sales workflows and give full visibility into your pipeline, helping you make data-driven decisions and drive growth.


How to Access CRM+ Reloaded

  1. Log in to your BuildOps account.

  2. Hover over your company name in the top navigation bar.

  3. Click on the app switcher that appears.

  4. Select CRM+ to switch to the CRM+ Reloaded module.

  • Depending on your access level, you may see the option to switch between BuildOps Core and CRM+ using the app switcher.

  • If you are a CRM+ only user, you’ll be automatically redirected to the CRM+ Opportunities Kanban Board when you log in.


What are Opportunities?

Opportunities represent potential sales that your team is working to close. These can range from simple service agreements, quoted jobs, to large-scale projects. Each Opportunity follows a set of Milestones, which reflect the stages of your sales process (e.g., New Lead, Follow-Up, Negotiation, Won).

Kanban Board Overview

Upon opening CRM+, you’ll land on the Opportunity Kanban Board by default.

  • This view shows all your active Opportunities, organized by Milestone.

  • If you're a Sales Manager and want to view Opportunities from other team members:

  1. Click the 👤 icon in the top right corner of the Kanban board.

  2. Select the sales rep whose Opportunities you want to view.

From the Kanban Board, you can see:

  • The number of Opportunities in each Milestone

  • Total Opportunity value

  • Confidence percentage

  • Weighted value (opportunity amount × confidence)

Hover over a Milestone to quickly view this summary.

  • To move an Opportunity to a different Milestone, simply drag and drop it.

Days in Stage tracks how long an Opportunity has been in its current milestone. This helps you identify Opportunities that may be stagnating.

If you move an Opportunity back to an earlier milestone, it will continue counting from the last time it was in that stage.

List View

For a more detailed view, switch to the List View, which displays your Opportunities in a table format.

You can:

✓ Show or hide specific columns

✓ Drag and drop columns to rearrange

✓ Save a custom view as a Preset

✓ Set a default view for yourself

✓ Share a Preset with your team (make it Public)

Assets Tab

The Assets tab lets you associate specific equipment or systems with an opportunity. This helps your team track what’s included in the project scope and ensures all assets are accounted for.

One important feature on this tab is the Coverage column, which shows whether an asset is considered In Scope or Out of Scope for the opportunity.

Coverage Status: In Scope vs Out of Scope

  • In Scope means the asset is included in the proposal or work plan and will be part of the job if the opportunity is won.

  • Out of Scope indicates the asset is excluded from the current opportunity.

You can update an asset’s status by selecting it and using the Actions menu:

  1. Click the checkbox next to one or more assets.

  2. Open the Actions dropdown.
    Choose Mark as In Scope or Mark as Out of Scope.

From this page you can also create an Asset under the property. Click Create asset at the top right corner of the sections. You may refer to Enhanced Asset Management.

Files Tab

Upload and manage important files tied to the opportunity such as drawings, or approvals. This helps keep all documentation in one place.

Any files uploaded here will automatically transfer to the related service agreement or project when it's created from a closed-won opportunity.

Forecast Tab

View sales projections based on your current pipeline and confidence levels.

Forecasts are calculated using the Opportunity Amount, Budgeted Cost, and Budgeted Hours, and will only generate when the following fields are completed:

  • Work Start Date

  • Work End Date

  • Opportunity Amount

  • Budgeted Cost

  • Budgeted Hours

You can choose between Bell or Even Distribution to model expected revenue. This helps with more accurate planning and forecasting.
