International Trading Firm CRM
CRM for Cross Border Import Export Traders Across India
Every freight enquiry, followed to the booking.
A buyer abroad asks for a dollar price, and the quote waits on a supplier who is not picking up. An LC needs its papers by Friday, and the draft sits in someone's email. A sample shipment goes out, but nobody follows up with the buyer afterwards. Right now that runs across three phones and an Excel sheet one person keeps, and a buyer who owes the last payment is remembered by half the team. CIPHER CRM puts every buyer, quote, shipment and payment on one screen, made for how an Indian trading house actually runs.

Common questions
Question: 1
How does a CRM help Cross-Border & Import Export Agents teams manage leads?

Question: 3
Does a CRM help Cross-Border & Import Export Agents teams follow up faster?

Question: 4
How do Cross-Border & Import Export Agents teams track quotations and payments?

4.8 What Logistics teams say about CIPHER CRM
Most of our parties pay advance at loading and the balance once the POD comes back. Till then the bill sits at Partially Paid, and the overdue ones stand out, so I know which party needs a call.
K. Nallusamy Fleet Owner, ManagementNamakkal
Pickup requests come on calls, WhatsApp and our site, and the late-evening ones got missed. Now each sits on one list, marked with who took it.
Ayesha Quadri Senior Executive, BookingsHyderabad
Our delivery boys run the hill roads towards Shillong, where phones keep losing coverage between bends. They mark each drop in CIPHER CRM in their phone's browser, and anything entered in a dead patch syncs when the signal returns. The hub has stopped ringing them about every parcel.
Rupjyoti Bordoloi Hub In-charge, DispatchGuwahati
A CHA bill mixes our agency charges with a long list of reimbursements, and GST applies only to the agency part. I choose the tax for each row.
Heena Kripalani Billing Head, AccountsGandhidham
We had years of party lists and tanker trip sheets in Excel, and I was sure the changeover would eat up a month. CIPHER's team brought every sheet over without charging us, and the office was booking loads on it within three days.
Hemlata Chaturvedi Working Partner, ManagementMathura
When our marketing executive left, I thought the shipping lines and CHAs he handled would go with him. His follow-ups and the ground rent rates we had quoted were still sitting on each party's record, so his replacement picked up where he stopped.

Success stories Loved by Logistics businesses across India
Hosiery and cycle-part exporters here ship through the dry port and want a freight rate the same day they ask. I send each estimate as a link, and the exporter says yes or no to it on that same page.
Ravneet Aulakh Pricing Head, SalesLudhiana
Many families we survey ask us to call back once they get the keys to their new flat. I set a reminder for the date they give.
Chaitra Gowda Move Coordinator, BookingsBengaluru
Month-end meant every seller ringing to ask what they owed us for pick-pack and returns. Each seller now has a portal login under our branding, and they check there which bills are settled and which have gone overdue, so those calls have mostly stopped.
Yogesh Kadyan Key Account Manager, SalesGurugram
Rake enquiries from steel and cement plants take weeks to close. On the pipeline board each enquiry sits in its stage, and every stage shows its total freight value, so I know where to spend my week.
Devendra Sahu Area Manager, MarketingRaipur
Each reefer load for the prawn processing plants needs the set temperature, vehicle number and seal number noted. We put a field for each of those on the load record, so when a plant rings, the office reads the details off the screen instead of phoning the driver.
Venkatapathi Raju Fleet Manager, OperationsBhimavaram
When a spice exporter's bank wants the BL copy, I open their record in CIPHER and it is right there under Documents, beside the shipping bill.
Lekshmi Pillai Accounts Manager, FinanceKochi
Consignments for Nepal and Bhutan used to run through one big WhatsApp group, where the papers got buried under forwards and good-morning messages. In the CRM the chat sits on each consignment's record, so a packing list or invoice dropped in there stays with that shipment.
Roshan Chhetri Manager, DocumentationSiliguri
Client studies run as projects in CIPHER, with tasks for the warehouse visits. Our analysts tick off checklist items, and I know where each study stands.
Madhura Paranjpe Founding Partner, ManagementPune
Every brand we handle has its own storage and dispatch rates, and I did not want those open to the whole floor. Our supervisors see only the brands they look after.
