Home-delivery orders come over WhatsApp
Home-delivery orders come over WhatsApp and get missed in a flood of messages.
Grocery Supermarket Chains CRM
CRM for Grocery Supermarkets and Kirana Stores in India
Every buyer remembered, every order followed up.
Home-delivery orders come in over WhatsApp all day, and your staff writes them in a diary by hand. A regular wants the monthly list ready by Sunday, and no one packed it. Old loyal shoppers slipped to the store next door, and no one noticed. Right now all of that runs across five phones, a khata book and an Excel sheet one person keeps, and the khata a family owes is settled at month end. CIPHER CRM puts every order, delivery, regular and balance on one screen, made for how an Indian grocery store actually runs.

Question: 3

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.
