Event Technical Production CRM
CRM for Sound Lighting AV Rental Companies Across India
Every event booked, every detail on time.
A wedding needs a sound and lighting quote by Thursday, and the rate card is on one technician's phone. A company wants LED walls held for their date, and the walls are out on another job. A promoter you worked with last December has a new show, and nobody has called. Right now that runs across five phones, one godown register and an Excel sheet, and a client who owes for overtime is chased late. CIPHER CRM puts every enquiry, quote, gear and date on one screen, made for how Indian AV rental houses actually run.

4.8 What Event Management teams say about CIPHER CRM
A lot of our destination wedding enquiries come as Instagram DMs or late-night calls. The ones from our website form drop into CIPHER CRM by themselves, we type in the rest, and before I sleep every enquiry has a coordinator's name on it.
Kanika Paliwal Founding Partner, ManagementUdaipur
Before the team comes in, I check each stage's value in rupees on the pipeline board. Big dealer meets stuck at Proposal Sent get a call from me.
Tarun Dahiya CEO, ManagementGurugram
A family once paid an advance for a Saturday my assistant had half-promised to another party. Since then every hold and confirmed function goes in as a task with its date, and I check the month view before I say yes.
Rupinder Chahal Banquet Manager, BookingsLudhiana
For a nikah or walima we take an advance at the tasting, and the balance after the function is what gets stuck. My accountant records each payment against the invoice, so it reads Partially Paid until it clears. Once a bill shows Overdue, that family gets a call from me.
Faizan Rizvi Working Partner, ManagementLucknow
Our crew spends Bihu season in open fields where calls drop. They still tick the rigging checklist on their phones, and it syncs once they find signal.
Manab Phukan Technical Head, OperationsJorhat
Each wedding is one task, and its checklist covers the mandap, the stage backdrop, the bridal car, the entry gate. I give each item to one of our decorators, and our flower supplier at Mullick Ghat gets the task link, so he sees what we need without signing in.

Success stories Loved by Event Management businesses across India
Couples want a weekly update on their album and highlight film. On our portal, which carries our logo, they see how far the edit has got.
Anoop Chacko Studio Manager, Front OfficeThrissur
When a doctors' association wants a quote for their annual CME, I send the proposal as a link. Their secretary opens it on her phone and downloads the PDF for the committee. Once they agree, she presses accept and I see it on my side without chasing anyone.
Mounika Pendyala Senior Executive, SalesHyderabad
We had years of exhibitor lists in Excel, a separate sheet for every show. The CIPHER team moved all of it in for free, and within three days our stall sales team was calling past exhibitors.
Chirag Thakkar General Manager, OperationsAhmedabad
A tent house bill runs long: shamiana, chairs, a generator, coolers, lights. In CIPHER each line gets its own GST, and the bill numbers run in our own series, same as the old bill book. The PDF we hand the party has our logo and my signature on it.
Dhaneshwar Sahu Owner, ManagementRaipur
Every show meant one more WhatsApp group for our own team. Each booking has its own chat thread now, and when someone drops the artist's rider in, it sits in that booking's attachments.
Aboli Deshpande Artist Coordinator, BookingsMumbai
Sponsor talks for our awards night drag on for weeks. When a brand manager says to call after Pongal, her lead gets a reminder dated the Monday after.
Keerthana Murali Team Lead, PartnershipsChennai
A city run is all small bills: medals, bibs, water, barricades. We log every expense against that run's project the day it comes in.
Lipsa Mohapatra Race Director, OperationsBhubaneswar
When we start sponsor pitches for the autumn festival, I open each brand's record in CIPHER first. Last year's proposal sits there with what we asked for, what they finally paid, and the notes from every call, so nobody on my team walks into a meeting cold.
Banri Lyngdoh Festival Manager, MarketingShillong
Many of our hybrid town halls are for teams in Dubai and Singapore, so one month's bills can go out in dirhams, dollars and rupees. We set a client's currency once and every quote and invoice follows it.
