Definition

What are CRM industry templates?

CRM industry templates are ready-made starting settings for a particular line of work. Rather than building every list from nothing, you pick your trade and the CRM fills in the departments, roles, lead stages and document types that trade usually needs. In CIPHER CRM this happens automatically at signup, and you can still change any of it later.

CIPHER CRM offers industry-aware setup across 31 industries. When you choose your industry during signup, the workspace is provisioned with starter departments, roles, lead sources, lead statuses and document categories that fit that trade. On top of that, some industries come with starter packs: extra purpose-built tabs that appear automatically on the right records. A real estate workspace, for example, gets Site Visits and Property Requirements tabs. The mechanism is simple: your one answer at signup replaces hours of building lists and naming stages from scratch. The outcome is a workspace that speaks your trade's language on day one, so your team can log the first enquiry the same afternoon instead of waiting for someone to finish the settings. Every starter setting stays editable, so you keep full control once you know what you want to change. Teams usually go live in 1 to 3 days, with free data migration.

Setup for your trade in CIPHER CRM
The problem

What happens without a setup for your trade

You open a new CRM and spend the first week typing out lead sources, stages and departments that every business in your trade already uses.

The default lead stages were written for someone else's sales process, so your team ignores them and tracks progress in their heads.

Every document gets dumped into one pile because nobody set up categories, and finding a signed agreement means scrolling through everything.

The fields your trade cares about most do not exist, so staff keep a second spreadsheet on the side for them.

Why CIPHER

Why a setup for your trade is better in CIPHER

Most CRMs sell one blank tool to every trade and wish you luck. We start from the trade you told us you are in.

  • One answer does the work

    Picking your industry at signup is the whole job. The starter settings arrive with the workspace, with nothing else to import.

  • Built across 31 industries

    We have shaped starting setups for 31 industries, so the lists you see were made with your kind of business in mind.

  • Extra tabs where a trade needs them

    Some trades track things no generic record has room for. Starter packs add those tabs for you instead of leaving you to build them.

  • Every setting stays yours

    The starter setup is a head start. You can change any part of it later without breaking the records you already have.

How it works

How a setup for your trade works in CIPHER CRM

  1. Pick your industry

    Choose your line of work in the company step of the setup wizard.

  2. Let the workspace build itself

    CIPHER CRM adds starter departments, roles, lead sources, lead statuses and document categories for that trade.

  3. Find your extra tabs

    If your industry has a starter pack, its purpose-built tabs are already on the records they belong to.

  4. Adjust what you want

    Rename a stage, add a source or drop a department in settings. Your changes apply from then on.

What does picking my industry set up in CIPHER CRM?

It sets up starter departments, roles, lead sources, lead statuses and document categories suited to your trade. For industries with a starter pack, it also adds purpose-built tabs to the right records automatically, so you begin with a workspace that already fits the way your business runs.

What is an industry starter pack?

A starter pack is a set of extra tabs made for a specific trade that appears when you sign up under that industry. Real estate is a clear example: its workspaces get Site Visits and Property Requirements tabs, so agents can record viewings and buyer needs without building anything.

How many industries have their own setup?

CIPHER CRM has ready-made starting setups for 31 industries. Each one shapes the departments, roles, lead stages and document categories your workspace begins with, so you are not choosing from one generic list meant for everyone. 192+ businesses run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with a 4.8/5 average rating.

Can I change the starter lead statuses and sources?

Yes. The starter lists are a head start, not a fixed rule. You can rename, add or remove lead statuses, sources, departments, roles and document categories in settings at any time, and the change applies across your workspace from then on.

What if my business does not fit one industry neatly?

Pick the industry closest to how you sell and serve, then adjust the few things that differ. Because every starter setting stays editable, a near fit plus a couple of changes is usually quicker than building every list from a blank start.

Do I have to do anything to get the extra tabs?

No. If your industry has a starter pack, its tabs arrive automatically when you sign up under that industry. There is nothing to import, switch on or install, and your team sees the tabs on the relevant records straight away.
