Do these everyday problems in soft services sound familiar?
Deployments eat up the week, and that is not your team's fault. Soft services work sits in per-head rate sheets for pantry, laundry and linen, site enquiries on calls and renewal dates in one manager's head.
See how CIPHER CRM solves this
Rate cards for pantry, laundry and linen are rebuilt each time.
Contract renewals with corporate clients slip because nobody tracked the date.
Follow-ups after a site visit stop when the team is busy with deployments.
When an account manager leaves, the client contacts and enquiries go with them.
A pantry and linen enquiry gets a per-head quote from saved rate cards. Site visit follow-ups carry a date. Corporate contracts show their renewal date, and client contacts stay put when an account manager leaves.
Soft Services enquiries scattered across notebooks, calls and WhatsApp
Every soft services enquiry captured in one list with a named owner
Nobody is sure who was meant to manage service contracts and client requests
A named owner and a due date on every soft services follow-up
Quotes rebuilt by hand and sent hours late
Branded quotes from saved item rates in minutes
No single view of how you track site visits and renewals
A progress board with deal values, and a live overdue flag on unpaid bills
Soft Services history walks out of the door when staff leave
Every deal, quote and note kept on the customer record

The result
Faster quotes, more contracts renewed on time, and fewer enquiries lost while the team is on-site.
