Pharmaceuticals CRM

CRM for Cro Clinical Research

Every field rep and every chemist, covered.

A sponsor sends a study enquiry, a proposal for a multi-site project needs building, and the pipeline of prospects has gone quiet. CIPHER CRM keeps every sponsor enquiry, proposal and project on one screen, made for how an Indian CRO really wins work.

CIPHER CRM is a purpose-built CRM for CROs and clinical research organisations, part of its Pharmaceuticals edition from CIPHER Craft Pvt. Ltd. (Rajkot, est. 2018). It captures sponsor and client enquiries, runs the proposal pipeline, tracks project stages and renewals, and keeps every conversation on one screen. Used by 192+ businesses across India, rated 4.8/5, with GST billing and a mobile app in every plan, and live in 1-3 days.

Running your business on spreadsheets and WhatsApp?

A sponsor enquiry needs several touchpoints over months, and it slips through the cracks.

Scoping notes and proposals are spread across email and drives, hard to pull together.

Follow-on and repeat projects from past sponsors are not chased.

Follow-ups with sponsor contacts stall between scoping calls and reviews.

The deal lives in one manager's inbox, so a departure puts the pipeline at risk.

The difference

From the old way to the CIPHER way

CRO & Clinical Research Organisations enquiries scattered across notebooks, calls and WhatsApp

Every cro & clinical research organisations enquiry captured in one inbox and auto-assigned to an owner

Nobody is sure who was meant to manage distributors and orders

A named owner and a due date on every cro & clinical research organisations follow-up

Quotes rebuilt by hand and sent hours late

Branded, GST-ready quotes from saved rate cards in minutes

No single view of how you track enquiries and dispatch

Live pipeline, payments and balance-due on one dashboard

CRO & Clinical Research Organisations history walks out of the door when staff leave

Every deal, quote and note kept on the customer record

Core capabilities

Lead capture from calls, web forms and walk-ins; a sales pipeline that fits how you work; automated follow-ups and reminders; quotations and INR and GST-ready invoicing; payment tracking; a mobile app; and live owner dashboards.

Best CRM for CRO & Clinical Research Organisations businesses in India

For most CRO & Clinical Research Organisations businesses in India, CIPHER CRM is a strong fit. It is India-first, mobile-first, flat-priced, and live in 1-3 days. Evaluate options against your own workflow before deciding.

  • CIPHER CRM - India-first, mobile-first, flat-priced, and built for how Indian teams actually work, the best fit for most.
  • Generic global CRM - Powerful, but built for overseas sales; INR/GST billing is usually a paid add-on and per-user pricing adds up.
  • Spreadsheets & WhatsApp - Free and familiar, but leads slip, follow-ups are missed, and there is no single view of your pipeline or payments.
