Case Study: VLK Architects achieves systematic growth and unified client and financial insights with Unanet CRM by Cosential

Unanet CRM by Cosential: Systematically Moving VLK Architects to the Next Level

VLK Architects is a Texas-based firm with five offices, about 140 employees, and more than 30 years of experience—particularly strong in the K–12 and educational market. As the firm grew, its basic in‑house database and ad‑hoc processes became a barrier: VLK needed a systematic way to capture client history, eliminate redundancies, and give business development and marketing teams up‑to‑date intelligence to win more work.

Implementing Unanet CRM by Cosential — with an Ajera integration for project and financial data — gave VLK a single repository for client and project information, relationship mapping, and streamlined preparation of statements of qualification. The result was faster, more consistent proposals, fewer handoffs and meetings, improved visibility across teams, and a scalable platform that supports continued growth and long‑term client partnerships.
