A fabrication RFQ with drawings
A fabrication RFQ with drawings comes in and the quote takes a day.
Engineering & Metalworking CRM
CRM for Engineering Fabrication and Weld Shops in India
From enquiry to invoice, one pipeline.
A buyer sends a drawing for a custom steel frame, and the quote waits until the owner is back from site. A job work order changes size halfway, and the shop floor hears last. A trial piece goes out to a new client, and nobody checks how it did. Right now that runs across WhatsApp, calls and a register on the office desk, and every rate for steel and labour lives in the supervisor's diary. CIPHER CRM puts every RFQ, drawing, quote and order on one screen, made for how an Indian fabrication workshop actually runs.

4.8 What Manufacturing teams say about CIPHER CRM
A buyer sends a bracket drawing to my WhatsApp while I am at the press brake. The office logs it in CIPHER CRM as an enquiry, drawing attached, for Bhavesh, our estimator. No job waits in my phone now.
Hasmukh Kanani Co-owner, ManagementMorbi
Tractor makers change the drawing for a forged yoke a few times before the order comes. Each revision and our PPAP papers sit on that enquiry, so when their quality engineer asks which revision we quoted, I pull it up while he is still on the line.
Sahil Makkar Senior Manager, MarketingFaridabad
Distributors in Jorhat and Tinsukia pay us for pickle and snack cartons in bits. Past the due date, their bill is flagged Overdue and they hear from me.
Mridusmita Gogoi Senior Accountant, FinanceGuwahati
When our sales executive for the Coimbatore pump makers left, his gasket quotes and follow-ups stayed on each account. Sini picked up where he stopped.
Jomon Kuriakose Chairman, ManagementKottayam
Every knit order for a brand waits on lab dip, fit sample and inline inspection approvals. We open a task for each order with those steps as its checklist, every step given to the person who chases it, and the task list shows how far each order has reached.
Vanitha Shanmugam Working Partner, ManagementTiruppur
A contractor orders AAC blocks only once the columns and slabs are up, so I visit his site many times before that. Each visit goes on his record with what he said and when to come back, and my GM sees where every site stands without calling me.

Success stories Loved by Manufacturing businesses across India
Hotel buyers want one price for a full room set in sheesham, down to the luggage rack. Each piece is saved with its rate and GST, so my team builds the estimate by picking pieces.
Hemant Sankhla Business Head, SalesJodhpur
For an injection-moulded housing, our quote has mould cost and piece rate on separate lines. The buyer's purchase team opens the link and accepts or declines it there.
Mrunal Kelkar Senior Executive, SalesIndore
We make tablets for marketing companies on a third-party basis, and every order waits on something, usually artwork approval or printed cartons. In CIPHER each order sits under the client, with its tasks and their checklists, so I see what is stuck without walking to the packing hall.
Shivali Negi Planning Manager, OperationsBaddi
A customer once changed the BOM halfway through a board order, and we spotted the message in our WhatsApp group only after assembly. Changes now go into the chat on that order with the revised file attached, so our SMT lead and I read the same thread.
Spoorthi Nagaraj Plant Head, ProductionBengaluru
An enquiry for a dye intermediate means nothing to our plant without the grade, purity and pack size. The RFQ stages were already set up, and all we added were our own fields for those.
Kaizad Bharucha Deputy Manager, MarketingVapi
FMCG buyers check every line of our corrugated box bills, so each carton size gets its own line with its GST. Their accounts team rarely sends one back.
Poulami Kundu Billing Executive, AccountsHowrah
Some glass always breaks on the road to Lucknow. When a dealer calls about broken tumblers, those pieces go on a credit note against his next bill.
Shadab Ansari Team Lead, Customer CareFirozabad
Our installers want panels sent sometimes to their godown and sometimes straight to a farmer's pump site. Each drop point is saved as a named shipping address, so the lorry does not go to the wrong village.
Sowjanya Pulluri Channel Manager, SalesWarangal
We quote EOT cranes for steel plants, and one order can take most of a year. On the CIPHER board each enquiry sits at tender, technical discussion or negotiation, with the rupee total under each stage. Our Monday review starts from that board instead of everyone's Excel sheets.
