Orders with no central record
Distributor and retailer orders flood in over WhatsApp, calls, and email with no central record.
Trusted by 192+ Food & Beverage businesses across India

An F&B business lives on the beat. Reps visit retailers on a plan, distributors order by phone and WhatsApp, and a few outlets are over their credit limit. When that is scattered across calls and spreadsheets, you learn which outlet went quiet a month after it did.
CIPHER CRM for food and beverage puts distributor orders, retailer visits, beat tasks, credit terms and payment follow-ups on one screen. Reps add orders from the browser on their phone, and a reminder nudges them to call before a due slips. Show us your distributor list and we will set it up around it.

Distributor and retailer orders flood in over WhatsApp, calls, and email with no central record.
Field reps submit beat visit notes hours late - by notebook, message, or not at all.
Order numbers from distributors arrive in a different format each time, so planning is guesswork.
New outlet onboarding takes days of back-and-forth before the first order is placed.
Outstanding payments and credit limits are tracked manually and routinely slip through.
Owners cannot see which outlets ordered this week without calling three people.

Product preview
Juice makers start asking about Totapuri pulp well before the mangoes come in. Each enquiry goes on the pipeline board with its deal value, and the stage totals tell me where the season stands in rupees.
Each salesman has his own beat around Tinsukia. He sees only his own stockists in CIPHER, so one party's rates don't sit on every salesman's phone.
Our van salesmen cover the village shops around Melur, where the signal drops every other street. They enter each shop's order for soda crates in the phone browser anyway. Everything syncs once the phone gets network again, and the office has the orders long before the van comes back.
GT Road dhabas clear their paneer bills in parts, cash one week, UPI the next. I record every payment with its mode, so nobody argues over balances.
Exporters buying our frozen squid and ribbonfish want our FSSAI licence and MPEDA registration before booking a container. Both are filed on each buyer's record with their expiry dates and shared to that buyer's portal. We check the dates while the monsoon fishing ban is on and renew in time.
Office-lunch clients in Salt Lake change their headcount every morning, and those messages used to get lost in the kitchen WhatsApp group. Our order desk posts each change on that client's chat thread in CIPHER CRM instead, and the head chef checks there before the rice goes on.
Ten ways CIPHER CRM helps Indian food and beverage teams grow faster and collect on time.
Keep every primary and secondary distributor in one searchable account, with their territory, credit terms, contacts, invoices and payments on the same record. Group them by channel or zone and stop running your network from scattered spreadsheets.
Your field reps open CIPHER CRM in the browser on their own phone, add the order at the counter and attach an outlet photo. If the signal is weak in a market lane, it keeps working and syncs the moment the connection is back, so the office sees the order without waiting for evening.
Every call or visit to an outlet is logged with its outcome, and the record shows when it was last contacted. Filter by date to see which outlets have not been touched in weeks, then send the rep with the last order on hand.
Field reps add orders at the counter from their phone browser. Website enquiries land on their own through an online enquiry form. When a distributor sends an order over WhatsApp, the office logs it in seconds and shares the estimate as a link the distributor can open and accept.
Add a new outlet as a lead and the right checklist attaches itself, based on where the lead came from. KYC papers, the FSSAI licence with its expiry date and the first order all sit on the record, so your expansion into new towns never stalls in someone's inbox.
Raise invoices in INR with GST on each line, record full or part payments against each distributor account, and the status updates by itself. A live Overdue flag and a reminder for the rep make sure the right person calls, without your finance team chasing by memory.
Track international buyer enquiries, sample requests, quality documents and order negotiations in a clear pipeline, from first contact at a trade fair to a confirmed export order. Quote and bill each buyer in their own currency.
Plan each rep's outlet visits as tasks with a date and time, linked to the outlet, and they show up on the team calendar. The rep marks each one done with a note, so a manager can see which outlets were covered and which were skipped.
See every open distributor deal and export enquiry on a board by stage, with the deal-value total on each column. The invoice list shows what is unpaid, part paid or overdue, so owners and sales managers can act without waiting for a month-end summary.
Cloud kitchens and catering brands can track corporate, hotel and institutional food-supply leads through the full B2B cycle, from enquiry and tasting to a proposal the client accepts online. Set a renewal reminder on each contract so the team calls well before it runs out.
Twenty capabilities that cover the full order-to-collection journey for food and beverage businesses.
Full distributor profiles with territory, credit terms, invoices and payments.
Reps keep adding orders on a weak signal, and it syncs when they are back online.

Pipelines, fields, and lead sources are configured for how food & beverage teams actually sell and serve customers - so you are not forced into a generic sales template.
Question: 2
A CRM keeps every food & beverage enquiry - from online enquiry forms, calls and walk-ins - in one list, gives each one an owner, and reminds them to follow up, so nothing slips through the cracks and owners see every lead's status update live as the team works.
Question: 3
For most Food & Beverage businesses in India, CIPHER CRM is the strongest fit - it is India-first, ready for a weak signal, flat-priced with no per-user fees, and configured for food & beverage workflows. Always compare options against your own requirements first.
CIPHER CRM: India-first, works on a weak signal, flat pricing, live in 1-3 days.
Question: 4
Not as a built-in chat today. Every lead and contact row has a one-click WhatsApp button that opens the chat, and food & beverage teams log each conversation as a follow-up on the record, with a name and a date on the next step.
Every promise and reply stays on the customer's record, so the full history is there for whoever picks up the phone next. A WhatsApp-style messaging tab is in development.
Question: 5

Question: 6
Getting started takes 1-3 days. Book a free demo and our India-based team configures your pipeline, imports your existing leads and customers for free, and trains your staff - so you go live ready to sell.
No technical skills needed - setup and data migration are handled for you.
A growing Food & Beverage business in India, running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp across a small team.
Enquiries were scattered across phones and chats, follow-ups were missed, and the owner had no clear view of the pipeline, payments, or team performance.
They moved to CIPHER CRM with free data migration - every enquiry in one list, follow-up reminders with a name and a date, branded quotations, and invoices that show what is paid and what is overdue.
Within weeks, follow-ups stopped slipping and the team responded noticeably faster - turning more of the same enquiries into paying customers.
Franchise terms for our biryani outlets go to each investor as a proposal link, with the fee and royalty spelled out. Most read it at home with their family first. When one accepts on the link, we fix a date to see the shop he has in mind.
In the wedding season, several families book cakes and halwa for the same Sunday. Each order is a task with its delivery time on the calendar, and the kitchen gets a reminder the day before.
Distributors keep sending back torn and expired packets of sev and bhujia. Each return goes on a credit note against that distributor's open bill.
Before pickle season, every wholesaler across Saurashtra gets a follow-up date for his achar masala order, and the reminder pops up that morning.
Each new canteen contract, whether a college hostel mess or a hospital, becomes a project in CIPHER under that client. The setup task has a checklist: kitchen handover, cooks joining, the FSSAI licence, the first menu. I can see what is still pending without driving out to the site.
We tag every store that stocks us by its city and by what it buys. When this year's Munsiyari rajma is packed, my team filters for rajma stores in Delhi and starts ringing them the same afternoon.
We send grapes to Rotterdam and onions to Dubai. Each account carries its own currency, so nobody quotes the Dutch buyer in rupees by mistake.
We run two firms on separate excise licences, one for beer and one for spirits. Each is its own workspace in CIPHER, with separate bills and a separate list of bars and beach shacks. I switch in one click, and my accountant hasn't once billed beer from the spirits firm.
One bill might have a pouch packing machine, spare sealing jaws and the installation charge, each line with its own GST. CIPHER keeps our own invoice series and warns me if I type a number that is already used.
Most food & beverage teams lose more deals to slow follow-up than to price. A CRM that reminds you to follow up, with a name and a date on every next step, often pays for itself before anything else.
Distributor, retailer and order data travels locked with HTTPS between you and CIPHER CRM.

CIPHER CRM brings orders and enquiries from distributors, dealers and retailers into one list, sends SKU-wise estimates from your saved price list, tracks each order on a board by stage, and shows unpaid and overdue invoices per account, so distributor sales do not slip through scattered calls and WhatsApp.
CIPHER CRM uses flat pricing with no per-user fees, so a food and beverage business can add its whole field-sales team for one predictable cost. Every plan includes quotes and invoices with GST on each line. Exact pricing depends on your size and needs, so call +91 97122 00017 for a quote and a free demo.
Yes, in one click. Every lead and contact row has a WhatsApp button that opens a chat with that distributor, next to call and email. A WhatsApp-style messaging tab inside the CRM is in development. For now, your team logs each conversation as a follow-up on the account, so nothing about a distributor relationship lives in a personal phone.
Yes. Every CIPHER CRM plan lets you raise quotations and invoices in INR with GST on each line and your buyer's GST number printed on the bill, then record payments against them, without a separate tool. 192+ businesses across India run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with a 4.8/5 average rating.
CIPHER CRM is used by 192+ businesses across India, including teams in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune, Surat, Jaipur, and Chennai. Food and beverage customers include FMCG super-distributors, food manufacturers, beverage brands, cloud kitchens, spice and dairy producers, bakery chains, and food exporters - all using CIPHER CRM to manage distributor networks, field orders, and payment collections.
CIPHER CRM gives FMCG distributors one retailer database with each outlet's contacts, invoices, payments and credit terms. Field reps log outlet visits and add orders from their phone browser, and date filters show which outlets have gone quiet - so distributors always know who ordered, who hasn't, and whose invoice is overdue without a single spreadsheet.
Yes, in the browser. There is no app to install. Field reps open CIPHER CRM on any phone to add outlet orders, mark beat visits done and attach photos. It keeps working on a weak signal and syncs once the connection is back, so orders from rural markets reach the office and managers see them as soon as they sync.
Your office adds each WhatsApp order into CIPHER CRM in seconds, against the distributor account, and shares the estimate or invoice as a link the distributor can open. There is no WhatsApp automation. One-click WhatsApp from any contact row opens a chat, and a WhatsApp-style messaging tab is in development. Every order sits on the distributor account with its payment trail.
Yes, in a simple way. Every order, invoice and follow-up sits on the outlet record with its date, and the same date filter works on every list, so you can see who ordered this week and who has not been contacted in a month. CIPHER CRM does not build sell-out reports, but the record of every outlet is always up to date.
CIPHER CRM turns an accepted estimate into an invoice in INR with GST on each line. Payments are recorded per distributor account, full or part, and the status moves from Unpaid to Partially paid to Paid on its own, with a live Overdue flag. Your team sets reminders to call on dues, and a Payments ledger grouped by month shows what came in.
Most food and beverage teams go live in 1 to 3 days. CIPHER Craft provides free data migration from your existing spreadsheets or old CRM, sets up your price list and territory tags, and trains your field reps and managers in Hindi and English. There are no per-user fees, so your entire field team can be on the system from day one.
