Revenue Operations Infrastructure That Scales with Your Growth

Florian Nègre, fractional Chief Growth Officer based in Barcelona and Paris, designs revenue operations infrastructure for European FinTech and SaaS scale-ups (€5M-€30M ARR, 50-200 employees). RevOps infrastructure consulting includes CRM architecture (Salesforce, HubSpot), data warehouse integration, sales automation workflows, and marketing operations systems. Companies in France, Spain, Germany, and UK build scalable revenue systems that align sales, marketing, and customer success teams around unified data and processes.

What is Revenue Operations Infrastructure?

Revenue operations infrastructure is the technical foundation that connects your go-to-market systems, data, and teams. Unlike traditional sales or marketing operations that work in silos, RevOps infrastructure creates a unified revenue engine.

For FinTech and SaaS scale-ups (€5M-€30M ARR), proper infrastructure means:

  • Unified CRM system (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive)
  • Data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift)
  • Automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n)
  • Analytics platforms (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Tableau)
  • Communication systems (Slack, Teams, integrated workflows)

Without this infrastructure, sales can't access marketing data, customer success works blind, and leadership lacks visibility into the revenue engine.

The 5 Pillars of RevOps Infrastructure

1. CRM Architecture & Configuration

Your CRM is the central nervous system of revenue operations. For scale-ups, this means:

  • Custom object modeling (accounts, contacts, deals, products)
  • Pipeline stages aligned with buying journey
  • Lead scoring and qualification frameworks
  • Territory and ownership rules
  • Integration with all revenue systems

2. Data Architecture & Integration

Data infrastructure connects systems and ensures data quality:

  • ETL pipelines (Extract, Transform, Load)
  • Master data management (single source of truth)
  • Data governance and compliance (GDPR, CCPA)
  • Real-time sync between systems
  • Data quality monitoring and alerts

3. Sales Automation Workflows

Automation removes manual work and ensures consistency:

  • Lead routing and assignment
  • Follow-up sequences and cadences
  • Deal stage progression triggers
  • Contract generation and e-signature
  • Renewal and expansion alerts

4. Marketing Operations Systems

Marketing systems generate and nurture demand:

  • Marketing automation platform (HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot)
  • Attribution modeling (first-touch, multi-touch)
  • Campaign tracking and ROI analysis
  • Lead scoring and MQL qualification
  • Content management and distribution

5. Revenue Analytics & Reporting

Analytics provide visibility and drive decisions:

  • Revenue dashboards (pipeline, bookings, ARR)
  • Conversion metrics (MQL→SQL→Opportunity→Close)
  • Sales velocity and cycle time
  • CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)
  • LTV (Lifetime Value) and retention

How to Build RevOps Infrastructure (3-Phase Framework)

Phase 1: Assessment & Architecture Design (Weeks 1-4)

Discovery:

  • Current systems audit (what exists today)
  • Data flow mapping (how data moves)
  • Team process documentation (how people work)
  • Gap analysis (what's missing or broken)
  • Compliance requirements (GDPR, security, regulations)

Deliverable: Technical architecture blueprint + implementation roadmap

Phase 2: Foundation Build (Weeks 5-12)

Core Infrastructure:

  • CRM configuration and customization
  • Data warehouse setup
  • ETL pipeline implementation
  • Basic automation workflows
  • Initial dashboard creation

Deliverable: Working core infrastructure with data flowing

Phase 3: Optimization & Scale (Weeks 13-24)

Advanced Capabilities:

  • Predictive analytics and AI models
  • Advanced automation workflows
  • Multi-system orchestration
  • Custom app integrations
  • Team training and enablement

Deliverable: Fully optimized, self-service infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions About RevOps Infrastructure

How long does it take to build RevOps infrastructure?

For scale-ups (€5M-€30M ARR), expect 3-6 months for core infrastructure. Phase 1 (Assessment) takes 4 weeks. Phase 2 (Foundation) takes 8 weeks. Phase 3 (Optimization) is ongoing. Quick wins start appearing after 6-8 weeks.

What's the cost to build RevOps infrastructure?

Budget €30K-€100K+ depending on scale. This includes:

  • CRM licenses: €5K-€20K/year
  • Data warehouse: €5K-€30K/year
  • Automation tools: €3K-€15K/year
  • Analytics platforms: €5K-€25K/year
  • Implementation: €15K-€50K one-time

Fractional CGO consulting: €5K-€15K/month during build phase.

Do we need a full-time RevOps person?

Not initially. For €5M-€15M ARR, a fractional CGO designs the infrastructure and trains your team to operate it. At €15M-€30M ARR, consider hiring a full-time RevOps leader to manage and optimize. Many clients start fractional, then transition to full-time as they scale.

Can we use our existing tools?

Yes. RevOps infrastructure maximizes existing investments. We audit current tools, identify gaps, and integrate rather than replace. If tools are fundamentally broken or don't scale, we recommend alternatives, but always build on what works.

What's the ROI of RevOps infrastructure?

Typical ROI: 3-5x within 12 months. Benefits include:

  • 30-50% reduction in sales cycle time
  • 20-40% increase in win rates
  • 40-60% improvement in forecast accuracy
  • 15-30% boost in sales productivity
  • 10-25+ hours saved per person weekly

ROI compounds as infrastructure improves over time.

Is this only for B2B SaaS companies?

No. RevOps infrastructure benefits any B2B company with complex sales. We specialize in FinTech, SaaS, and professional services, but the principles apply to banking, credit rating agencies, ESG platforms, and B2B tech companies selling to enterprises.

How do you ensure GDPR and data compliance?

Compliance is built into infrastructure design from day one. This includes:

  • Data processing agreements with all vendors
  • Consent management and opt-out workflows
  • Data retention and deletion policies
  • Access controls and audit logs
  • Regular compliance audits

For FinTech clients, we also address PCI-DSS, FCA, and ESMA requirements.

What if our team doesn't have technical skills?

RevOps infrastructure is designed for business users, not engineers. We build systems your sales and marketing teams can use daily without technical knowledge. Training is included. Complex tasks are automated. Dashboards are self-service. Your team focuses on revenue, not technology.
