FMCG Distribution Business CRM
eCommerce Retail CRM for FMCG Distributors & C&F Agents
Every buyer remembered, every order followed up.
A kirana wants the new SKU rates, and the salesman sends an old list on WhatsApp. Dozens of retailers are due to reorder this week, and no one knows which beat they sit on. A big outlet did not order last week, and no one noticed. Right now that runs across five phones, a beat diary and an Excel sheet only one person opens, and a retailer's outstanding payment is only chased at month end. CIPHER CRM puts every retailer, beat, order and balance on one screen, made for how an Indian FMCG distributor actually runs.

Reorders from regular shops are

Outstanding payments spread across hundreds
Outstanding payments spread across hundreds of retailers are hard to track and chase.
Scheme

Question: 4

4.8 What Ecommerce & Retail teams say about CIPHER CRM
Cafes and hotels fill the bulk order form on our website, and each enquiry lands in CIPHER CRM already assigned to one of us. A hotel asking for orthodox tea on a Friday will not wait till Monday.
Moromi Hazarika Chief Executive, ManagementGuwahati
Garages send back a wrong clutch plate or a bearing that did not fit more often than you would think. I raise a credit note in CIPHER against that bill and adjust it on the garage's next invoice, so the mechanic and I never argue over what went back.
Bhavesh Kotecha Accountant, BillingJamnagar
Wedding silk is never one person's choice. The bride, her mother and the father who pays are separate contacts on one record, so we know whom to phone.
Ancy Mathew Floor Manager, Bridal WearKochi
We put every kirana shop in a customer group by its beat, like the Monday beat past Khurda or the Thursday beat in town. Each salesman opens his own beat in CIPHER CRM on his phone in the morning and has his route's shops in front of him.
Prasanta Sahoo Area Manager, Field SalesBhubaneswar
One AC bill can carry the unit, a stabiliser, copper piping and the fitting charge. I pick each one from our item list with its GST already set.
P. Muthukumar Billing In-charge, AccountsMadurai
Our footwear regulars are tagged by the brand they like and their shoe size. When that brand's new stock lands, we filter by the tag and open a WhatsApp chat with each of them in one click, before the good sizes are gone.
