Definition

What is a CRM setup wizard?

A CRM setup wizard is a short, guided form that sets up a new workspace for you one step at a time. Instead of dropping you on an empty screen full of settings, it asks only what it needs, in a sensible order. In CIPHER CRM that means four steps, with each answer saved the moment you enter it.

CIPHER CRM starts every new workspace with a guided four-step setup wizard. Step one, General Information, takes your logo, workspace name and support email. Step two, Company Information, takes your legal name, registration number, address, industry and signature. Step three, Localization, sets your timezone, date and time format and financial year. Step four is the Subscription Plan, and every plan includes every feature. The wizard auto-saves as you go, so a closed tab or a phone call halfway through does not cost you your progress. Because you pick your industry in step two, the workspace can arrive with starter settings shaped for your trade. The outcome is a workspace that prints the right company name, shows the right dates and bills in the right financial year from day one. CIPHER CRM is made by CIPHER Craft Pvt. Ltd. and used by 192+ businesses across 31 industries.

The problem

What happens without step-by-step setup

You sign up for a new CRM and land on a blank screen with forty settings menus and no idea which one comes first.

You fill in half a long setup form, get pulled into a customer call, and come back to find every field empty again.

Your first invoice goes out with the wrong company name or no registration number because nobody knew where to enter it.

Dates show in the wrong format and the financial year starts in the wrong month, so the numbers on your documents look off to clients.

Setup drags on for weeks because nobody on the team owns it, so the new CRM sits unused while the spreadsheet keeps running.

What you can do with step-by-step setup

  • Four steps in a clear order

    General Information, Company Information, Localization and Subscription Plan come one after another, so you always know what is next and how much is left.

  • Your brand in from the start

    Step one takes your logo, workspace name and support email, so the workspace looks like yours the first time your team signs in.

  • Company details ready for documents

    Step two records your legal name, registration number, address and signature, so the details that belong on a proposal or invoice are already in place.

  • Your trade picked at signup

    You choose your industry in the company step, which lets CIPHER CRM set up starter departments, roles and lead stages suited to how you work.

    The wizard auto-saves every answer as you enter it. Close the tab halfway and you pick up right where you stopped.

Why CIPHER

Why step-by-step setup is better in CIPHER

Most CRMs give you an account and a settings page and leave the rest to you. We ask the few things that matter, in order, and keep every answer safe.

  • Short on purpose

    Four steps cover what a new workspace needs to look right and bill right. Everything else can wait until you want it.

  • Nothing lost to an interruption

    Auto-save means a dropped call, a closed laptop or a lunch break does not send you back to the start.

  • Industry shapes the workspace

    Your answer about your trade does real work. It sets up starter settings that fit the way that trade sells and serves.

  • Every plan has every feature

    The plan step is about what fits your business, not about which features you are allowed to use.

How it works

How step-by-step setup works in CIPHER CRM

  1. Add your general information

    Upload your logo, name your workspace and enter the support email your team and customers should see.

  2. Fill in your company details

    Enter your legal name, registration number, address and signature, and pick the industry you work in.

  3. Set your localization

    Choose your timezone, how dates and times should look, and when your financial year begins.

  4. Pick your plan

    Choose the subscription plan that suits you. Every plan carries every feature, so this step is quick.

  5. Open your workspace

    Your answers are already saved, so the workspace opens with your name, your details and your settings in place.

A working workspace in one sitting

Four short steps take you from signup to a workspace with your name, details and settings in place.

Documents that look right the first time

Your legal name, registration number and signature are captured before you write a single proposal.

No setup started twice

Auto-save means interruptions cost you a few minutes at most, never the whole form.

Dates and years your team recognises

Local timezone, date format and financial year are set once, so nobody has to translate what they see.

What does the CIPHER CRM setup wizard ask for?

Four things, in order. General Information covers your logo, workspace name and support email. Company Information covers legal name, registration number, address, industry and signature. Localization covers timezone, date and time format and financial year. The last step is choosing your subscription plan.

What happens if I close the wizard halfway through?

Nothing is lost. The wizard auto-saves each answer as you enter it, so when you come back you continue from where you stopped. You do not need to finish in one sitting, and you never have to retype an earlier step.

Why does the wizard ask for my industry?

Your industry lets CIPHER CRM set up starter departments, roles, lead sources, lead statuses and document categories that suit your trade. Some industries also get extra purpose-built tabs, such as site visits and property requirements for real estate, so you begin with more than a blank workspace.

Where does my signature from the wizard get used?

The signature you add in the company step is your authorized signature image. It stamps your proposals and invoices, so documents leave with a signature from the first one. It is an image placed on the document, not a legal signing service.

Why set the financial year during setup?

Several document types in CIPHER CRM can use numbering stamped with your financial year. Setting it in the localization step means your estimates, invoices and credit notes follow the year your accounts actually run on, instead of a default you would have to fix later.

Does the plan I pick limit which features I get?

No. Every plan in CIPHER CRM includes every feature. The plan step is about choosing what fits your business, not paying to open up parts of the product, so you are not left wondering which settings you are allowed to use.

How long does it take to get fully live?

The wizard itself is four short steps. Getting your whole team and your existing records in usually takes 1 to 3 days, and we move your existing data across for free as part of that, so you are not stuck copying rows by hand.
