Define a useful flag
Start with a small number of conditions the team recognises: an enquiry without an owner, an overdue follow-up or a record missing essential information. A flagged deal may still be healthy. Make the reason visible and let the responsible person resolve it.
Decide which system owns the data
Two-way synchronisation needs rules for conflicting changes, duplicate records and deleted contacts. Document which system is authoritative for each field and which accounts are allowed to read or update it. Confirm API permissions before promising a connection.
Begin with a digest
A read-only report can test whether the rules are useful before software begins changing customer records. Let staff dismiss false positives and refine the workflow. If automated updates are later introduced, require traceability and a way to recover from mistakes.
Evaluate the workload honestly
Measure time spent reviewing reports as well as time saved on repetitive checks. Include maintenance and exception handling in the comparison. This is an illustrative design, not evidence that a deployed watchdog saves a particular number of hours or keeps a CRM free of errors.
