<div data-element-id="elm_sLUVFhuWRdW4Mk_4JSd1nA" data-element-type="text" class="zpelement zpelem-text "><style></style><div class="zptext zptext-align-center zptext-align-mobile-center zptext-align-tablet-center " data-editor="true"><p></p><div><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">After months of building, testing, and refining — we're ready to talk about what we've been working on.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">If you manage Zoho CRM or Bigin for your business or your clients, you'll know the feeling. The platform grows. Fields multiply. Workflows accumulate. Layouts get tweaked by different people across different quarters. And at some point, you look at your configuration and think:<em>how did we get here, and is any of this actually working?</em></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">That question is exactly what ConfigPilot was built to answer.</p><hr style="text-align:center;margin-bottom:32px;width:584px;"/><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:16px;">What Is ConfigPilot?</h3><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">ConfigPilot is a configuration intelligence platform for Zoho CRM and Bigin administrators. It connects to your Zoho environment, analyses your configuration, and gives you a clear picture of what's in place, what's healthy, and what deserves attention — without you having to dig through settings screens and export spreadsheets.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">Think of it as a health check, audit tool, and configuration explorer — all in one place, built specifically for the Zoho ecosystem.</p><div><figure style="margin-bottom:32px;"><div style="margin-bottom:16px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQG_oAVMboOKKg/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232/B4EZzcTFOaJAAU-/0/1773222516857?e=1775088000&amp;v=beta&amp;t=4NpLW1FgJY0NtIOQEapGT1AtNzi33myCFHYzBV3sbR4" alt="Article content" style="width:645.2px !important;height:293px !important;max-width:100% !important;"/></div></div></figure></div><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:16px;">What It Actually Does</h3><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">AI Health Scoring</span>ConfigPilot scores your CRM or Bigin configuration across key dimensions — field usage, layout efficiency, workflow logic, and more. You get a clear, prioritised view of where your configuration is strong and where there's room to improve.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">Configuration Explorer</span>Explore your metadata — fields, layouts, modules, sections, workflows — in a structured, searchable interface. No more cross-referencing setup screens or exporting data to understand what you've actually built.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">Audit Functionality</span>Capture a point-in-time snapshot of your configuration. Track what changes between audits. Understand the evolution of your setup over time, and have a record you can share with stakeholders, clients, or your own future self.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">AI-Generated Recommendations</span>Beyond scoring, ConfigPilot surfaces specific, actionable recommendations — written in plain language — so you know not just<span></span><em>what</em>the issue is, but<span></span><em>what to do about it</em>.</p><div><figure style="margin-bottom:32px;"><div style="margin-bottom:16px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQHIsEW818S-Rg/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232/B4EZzcTK3bJMAY-/0/1773222539983?e=1775088000&amp;v=beta&amp;t=2R9euDF9F2vna6pSmfPTyWhH-RbgFKW2ml5J50vFk0I" alt="Article content" style="width:632px;"/></div></div></figure></div><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:16px;">A Word on Privacy and Data Access</h3><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">We want to be completely transparent about how ConfigPilot works.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">We do not see your data. We do not store your data.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">ConfigPilot connects to your Zoho environment using your own credentials. What we analyse is your<em>configuration</em>— your fields, layouts, modules, workflows, and settings. Not your contacts. Not your deals. Not your customer records.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">The only things we store are:</p><ul><li style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:8px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">Action logs</span><span></span>— a record of what actions have been performed within ConfigPilot</li><li style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:8px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">Audit snapshots</span><span></span>— but only if you actively choose to use the audit functionality</li></ul><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">Your data stays in your Zoho environment, where it belongs. We're simply helping you understand what you've built there.</p><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:16px;">Built for Zoho Admins and the People Who Support Them</h3><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">ConfigPilot is designed for:</p><ul><li style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:8px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">In-house Zoho admins</span><span></span>who want confidence that their configuration is in good shape</li><li style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:8px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">Zoho consultants and partners</span><span></span>who want to onboard clients faster, audit configurations more efficiently, and demonstrate value clearly</li><li style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:8px;"><span style="font-weight:600;">Business owners</span><span></span>who've grown their Zoho setup organically and want to understand what they've got before taking the next step</li></ul><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">If you've ever inherited a Zoho setup, been asked to explain your configuration to a new team member, or simply wondered whether your workflows are actually firing — ConfigPilot is for you.</p><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:16px;">Built on the Zoho Stack</h3><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">ConfigPilot is itself built on Zoho technology. We use Zoho Catalyst as our serverless infrastructure, Zoho Bigin and CRM for our own business operations, Zoho Books for billing, and Zoho Desk for support. We're not just a Zoho partner — we're a Zoho customer, building on the same platform we help others master.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">We're also a Zoho Authorised Partner, so we understand the ecosystem from the inside out.</p><div><figure style="margin-bottom:32px;"><div style="margin-bottom:16px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQHtwRzJ9WDynw/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/B4EZzcTdZVJMAQ-/0/1773222615171?e=1775088000&amp;v=beta&amp;t=Ev08fbbo7I8pnDLimF1ZDNgWakGzLIqKAK8czQWmPVg" alt="Article content" style="width:632px;"/></div></div><figcaption style="text-align:left;width:632px;">Built on Zoho</figcaption></figure></div><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><br/></p><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:16px;">Now Available in Beta</h3><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">ConfigPilot is available now in beta for Zoho CRM and Bigin users.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">Beta access gives you the opportunity to explore the platform, share your feedback, and help shape the product roadmap — at a price that reflects where we are in the journey.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">If you manage Zoho and want clearer visibility of your configuration, we'd love to have you on board.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">👉<a target="_self" href="http://configpilot.co.uk/"><span>configpilot.co.uk</span></a></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;">Or reply to this newsletter and we'll be in touch directly.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:32px;"><em>ConfigPilot is a product of Element Technology Services Ltd, a UK-based Zoho Authorised Partner specialising in CRM implementation, automation, and business systems for SME service businesses.</em></p></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br/></div><p></p></div>

Helping them to support their clients 'return to travel' policy and process was key to our thinking in developing this solution.”</div><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><div style="text-align:left;">Element has exclusive reseller rights to Travel Radar across the UK and Europe and will support Zenmer with TMCs who approach them directly. Travel Radar is available to all TMCs in any country. If clients have complex policies, Element can solve this problem by providing the Zenmer agent desktop which includes traveller level policy, with the ability to make the bookings. All expected content needs are available in the agent desktop.”</div><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;"><br></span></p><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div></div>
