A traditional CRM is basically a spreadsheet on steroids: you store contacts, add notes, and that's it. The Cadences CRM goes much further. It uses artificial intelligence to understand your customers, predict behaviors and automate the repetitive tasks that steal hours every week.

๐Ÿ’ก What you'll learn in this article

  • How automatic contact enrichment works
  • The visual sales pipeline and Deal Scoring system
  • AI-generated summaries for every customer interaction
  • Smart search that understands what you're looking for, not just what you type
The Problem

Your Current CRM Works Against You

The reality of most CRMs is frustrating. Your sales team wastes up to 6 hours per week on administrative tasks that generate no value:

๐Ÿ“

Manual data entry

Copying emails, phone numbers and names from LinkedIn, business cards or emails

๐Ÿ”

Useless searches

"What was the name of that contact from the Barcelona company who mentioned the IoT project?"

๐Ÿ“Š

Reports nobody reads

Complex dashboards with metrics that don't answer the questions that actually matter

๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ

Forgotten opportunities

Leads that go cold because nobody followed up in time

Cadences solves this with a different approach: the CRM isn't just a data warehouse โ€” it's an active assistant that works with you.

Contact Intelligence

Automatic Contact Enrichment

When you add a contact in Cadences, the system doesn't just keep the name and email. The Contact Intelligence engine activates automatically to complete the profile:

1

Base data

You enter a name and email. Or simply paste a LinkedIn URL.

2

Enrichment pipeline

Cadences automatically searches for: company, role, location, social networks, web domain and industry.

3

AI Summary

AI generates a profile summary: who they are, what their company does and what the collaboration potential is.

Complete contact

In seconds you have a rich, actionable profile ready to start a conversation.

API: Contact Enrichment
POST /api/contacts/enrich
{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "source": "linkedin"
}

// Response
{
  "name": "Maria Garcia Lopez",
  "company": "TechVentures Ltd",
  "role": "CTO",
  "location": "Barcelona, Spain",
  "sector": "SaaS / B2B",
  "ai_summary": "CTO of B2B SaaS startup in Barcelona with 12 employees. High potential for AI integration in their platform.",
  "score": 82
}
Smart Search

Search that Understands Context

Have you ever tried searching for a contact in your CRM and can't remember their name? In traditional CRMs, you're lost. In Cadences you can search by context:

Search Result
"CTO startup Barcelona IoT" Finds contacts by role + location + industry
"pending meeting this week" Contacts with scheduled activities
"clients I haven't contacted since January" Filters by last interaction > 60 days
"deals > 10k in negotiation" Pipeline filtered by value and stage
"healthcare companies in London" Organization list by vertical + location

This works thanks to the integrated AI assistant that interprets your natural language query, translates it into filters and returns relevant results. No need to learn search syntax or remember field names.

Deal Pipeline

Visual Pipeline with Deal Scoring

The Cadences sales pipeline is a Kanban board where each opportunity moves between stages. But the interesting part is underneath: every deal has a dynamic score calculated by AI.

๐ŸŽฏ
Lead
First contact
๐Ÿค
Qualified
Need confirmed
๐Ÿ“‹
Proposal
Sent & under review
โš–๏ธ
Negotiation
Terms & adjustments
๐Ÿ†
Closed
Won!

The Deal Score is a number from 0 to 100 that AI calculates based on multiple signals:

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Engagement

How many interactions have there been? Does the client respond quickly? Do they open emails?

โฑ๏ธ

Velocity

How long has it been in each stage? Is it moving faster or slower than average?

๐Ÿข

Company Fit

Does the company profile match your ideal customer? Size, industry, budget?

๐Ÿ”ฎ

Historical Pattern

Based on previous deals with similar profiles, what's the probability of closing?

Timeline

Activity Timeline with AI Summaries

Each contact has a chronological timeline with all interactions: emails sent, meetings, calls, team notes, pipeline stage changes. But the Cadences timeline has a superpower: automatic summaries.

AI Summary
Automatically generated

"Maria Garcia (CTO, TechVentures) showed high interest in AI agent integration for their support platform. In the 03/12 meeting, 3 concrete use cases were discussed: multilingual chatbot, automatic ticket classification and call summaries. Friction point: budget limited to 15K first quarter. Next step: send modular proposal with option to start with chatbot only. Estimated close probability: 72%."

โ†’ Generated from 3 emails, 1 meeting note and 2 recorded calls

These summaries are generated automatically when you accumulate enough context. And the best part: you can ask the AI assistant things like "what does Maria need to close the deal?" and get an answer based on the entire history.

Organizations

Organization Hierarchy

In Cadences, contacts are grouped under Organizations. An organization is a company, institution or any entity you work with. Contacts are people within those organizations.

Concept Description Example
๐Ÿข Organization Company or entity TechVentures Ltd
๐Ÿ‘ค Contact Person within an org Maria Garcia, CTO
๐Ÿ’ฐ Deal Sales opportunity AI Support Integration โ€” $25K
๐Ÿ“ Project Work in progress Phase 1: Multilingual Chatbot
๐Ÿ”— Activity Logged interaction Meeting 03/12, call 03/14

Everything is interconnected. From an organization's card you see all its contacts, all deals, associated projects and the complete timeline. From a contact, you see the organization, their colleagues and the deals they participate in.

Flexibility

Custom Fields & Segmentation

Every business is different. That's why Cadences CRM allows you to add custom fields to contacts, organizations and deals. Text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, checkboxes, GPS location โ€” whatever you need.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Tags

Color tags for quick classification: "Hot Lead", "Enterprise", "Partner"

๐Ÿ“Š

Dynamic Segments

Automatic lists by criteria: "CTOs in London with deal > $10K"

Comparison

Traditional CRM vs Intelligent CRM

Lead scoring Static manual rules Dynamic ML-based score
Summaries Manual team notes Auto-generated by AI

Customer data Isolated in the CRM Connected with projects, web & workflows
Ecosystem

Connected to the Entire Ecosystem

What truly makes the Cadences CRM different is that it doesn't live in isolation. It's deeply integrated with the rest of the platform:

Storefronts

A visitor fills out a form on your website โ†’ a contact is automatically created in the CRM with source tracking. You know where they came from and which pages they visited.

Workflows

When a deal moves to "Proposal sent" โ†’ a workflow fires that sends the proposal email, creates a 5-day follow-up task and notifies the manager.

Projects

When a deal closes as won โ†’ a project is automatically created with initial tasks, assigned to the delivery team. From CRM to execution without friction.

AI Assistant

"What are my hottest deals this week?" โ€” The AI assistant has full access to the CRM and responds with real data, not generic answers.
