SALES & CRM
Manage the pipeline from opportunity to sales order
Apus CRM tracks opportunities through each stage and links to quotations and sales orders — so sales and operations look at the same data.
Pipeline stages
Define stages that fit how you sell (e.g. outreach → discovery → quote → close). Each opportunity has an expected value and a probability, so you can forecast revenue.
Update opportunities
- Go to CRM → Opportunities and create or open one.
- Log activities (calls, meetings, emails) and the next step.
- Update the stage as it progresses — the forecast updates automatically.
Convert to an order
When you close, convert the opportunity into a quotation and then a sales order. The sales order affects inventory and receivables immediately because every module shares one data layer.
TIP
Keep pipeline stages few and clear — too many stages lead reps to update sloppily and make the forecast unreliable.
