Setting Up Your Organisation

When you first register, SwiftlyCRM creates your organisation and a default Headquarters branch automatically. This guide walks you through completing your organisation profile so everything looks professional from day one.

Step 1 — Complete Your Organisation Profile

Navigate to Settings → Organisation and fill in:

FieldPurpose

LogoPNG or SVG, minimum 200 × 200 px, transparent background recommended
CountryDetermines your default payment gateway (Paystack for African countries, Stripe for international)
IndustryUsed for reporting benchmarks
Company sizeHelps us tailor tips and defaults

Step 2 — Configure Your Branch

Your default branch is called Headquarters. To rename it or configure it:

  1. Go to Settings → Branches
  2. Click the branch name to edit it
  3. Set your timezone and currency display preference
  4. Under Branch Settings → Email Notifications, choose which events trigger emails (deal closed, task overdue, etc.)

Step 3 — Set Pipeline Stage Probabilities

SwiftlyCRM uses probability percentages per stage to calculate your weighted pipeline forecast.

  1. Go to Settings → Pipeline Stages
  2. Adjust the probability (%) for each stage to match your historical close rates
  3. These feed directly into the Analytics dashboard revenue forecast

Step 4 — Add Your Branding to Documents

On the Pro and Enterprise plans, your logo and colours appear on all generated PDFs (proposals, contracts, invoices).

  1. Go to Settings → Branding
  2. Upload your logo and set your brand colour (hex code)
  3. Preview the PDF template before saving
