Let me show you your daily toxic CRM routine!
You log into Dynamics 365 CRM.
Your dashboard greets you with rows and rows of records—endless lists of leads, opportunities, cases, activities.
Somewhere in that mess, a hot deal is waiting for a follow-up.
Somewhere else, a customer issue has been pending for three days.
Instead of clarity, you get chaos.
- Too many clicks just to update a record.
- Too many spreadsheets outside CRM because the list view isn’t enough.
- Too much guesswork in figuring out where your deals are stuck.
You’re Nodding “Yes” to Every Point, Aren’t You?
Research shows that 57% of CRM projects struggle with user adoption because users find them complicated, rigid, or simply overwhelming.
That’s exactly where Inogic’s Kanban Board for Dynamics 365 CRM comes in.
Not just another feature, but a visual lifeline that turns endless lists into an organized, easy-to-manage workflow—helping you stay on top of leads, opportunities, cases, and activities at a glance.
The Hidden Pain Points That Slow You Down
It’s not just that “CRM is complex.” The real struggles in Dynamics 365 CRM happen every single day:
Endless Clicking & Context Switching
Updating a lead takes 5 clicks.
Sending a quick follow-up? Another 4 clicks.
Multiply that across 50 records a day, and you’ve lost 25+ minutes to pure clicking instead of selling.
Managers Flying Blind
By the time a report is generated, opportunities worth thousands may already be stalled in the sales pipeline – unnoticed and unaddressed.
Team Meetings That Drag
Weekly sales meetings turn into status-check marathons: “Where is this deal now?” instead of focusing on moving opportunities forward
CRM Fatigue
New users feel overwhelmed by the endless list views. Experienced users bypass the system with side Excel trackers, because CRM feels like “too much work.
Kanban Board: Turning CRM Chaos into Visual Clarity
Now, imagine if your Dynamics 365 CRM looked different:
- Every record becomes a card you can instantly scan.
- Every sales stage/process step is a lane in your pipeline.
- Every key detail is right on your screen — no extra clicks.
- And best of all? You can simply drag, drop, and act instantly.
That’s exactly what Inogic’s Kanban Board for Dynamics 365 CRM delivers.

Weekly Stand-Up (Team)
The Kanban Board becomes the live meeting screen.
Everyone sees the flow.

Stats That Prove the Impact

And the productivity gains compound:
Saving 5 clicks per record × 50 updates a day = 250 clicks avoided daily.
That’s nearly 20 minutes saved every single day — adding up to 87+ hours a year.
Imagine redirecting that time into closing deals, coaching reps, or improving customer relationships.
Beyond Native Kanban, Why Inogic Wins
