Netherlands-based brewery Lowlander Beer crafts unique, botanically brewed beers. The company’s mission is to create the most sustainable beer in the world using surplus fruits, spices and herbs that would otherwise go to waste. From orange peel left over from juice production to “ugly” pumpkins rejected by retailers, Lowlander blends sustainability with taste to stand out in a competitive market.
Looking to get the most out of their CRM setup, the team worked with Pipedrive consultants CRM Squirrel to tailor the platform to their growing sales operation.

Before implementing Pipedrive, Lowlander Beer managed sales across multiple disconnected Excel sheets. There was no central source of truth, and it was difficult to track performance, manage reps or follow up efficiently.
Pipedrive enabled Lowlander Beer to centralize all sales activity, eliminate fragmented tracking systems and automate repetitive tasks. Using Smart Docs, the team replaced their DocuSign subscription and now manage contracts natively within the CRM. The Insights dashboard provides clarity, enabling weekly and quarterly reporting. Automations ensure that leads are followed up with automatically, minimizing the risk of missed opportunities.
Lowlander’s workflows have been customized to support its industry-specific needs. Website inquiries are automatically captured in Pipedrive as deals, eliminating manual entry. Sales reps categorize accounts into bronze, silver and gold tiers, which enables the team to focus 80% of their time on high-potential leads.
Lowlander Beer also uses the CRM to track POS (point of sale) material deployment (e.g., fridges, coasters and glassware) per account.
Much of this customization was developed in collaboration with CRM Squirrel, helping Lowlander extend Pipedrive beyond standard CRM use to fit its sales strategy more precisely.
Looking ahead, Lowlander Beer plans to expand its onboarding automation by building structured post-sale steps such as account checks, training and menu updates. The team also intends to clean out outdated records and explore additional Pipedrive add-ons as operations grow.
