Inventory management service providers · CRM

Keep the audit date, site list and decision maker beside every account.

A CRM for an inventory management provider is the single record of each company, its sites, its stock type, its audit date and who signs. GullySales sets up the fields and stages in a CRM you already use or choose, so no enquiry or CA introduction is lost between counts.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For inventory management service providers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The year-end rush leaves no time to record anything”

    In the weeks before the financial year ends, enquiries arrive faster than notes can be written. Without a simple record, a lead's audit date and site count live in someone's head and are gone by the next season.

  • “A client is several people across several sites”

    A manufacturer with plants in three cities has a plant contact, a finance head and an auditor. If the record holds only one name, the next conversation starts from nothing. The CRM should link all of them to one account.

  • “Auditor and CA relationships need their own records”

    A CA who named your firm to a client is a source worth tracking. Putting them in the same list as buyers hides their value. They need a separate type of contact with the clients they referred.

What we do

What we deliver for inventory management service providers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Account and site structure

    Fields for company, sites, stock type, audit date, decision maker and auditor.

    Result: Each account shows its sites and the person who signs.

  2. Pipeline stages for counts

    Stages from enquiry through site visit, proposal, count, report and cycle-count offer.

    Result: Every account sits at a named stage.

  3. A referrer record

    A contact type for CAs and auditors, with the clients each one referred.

    Result: You can see which auditors have sent work.

  4. Next audit date reminders

    A date field and reminder so each client is contacted before their next year end.

    Result: A list of clients due for contact before their audit.

  5. Import of existing contacts

    A clean-up and import of the contacts already in spreadsheets and email.

    Result: Your existing contacts appear in one place without duplicates.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Fields worth keeping

Keep the audit date, the sites and the decision maker beside each account.

Account and site list
Head office with each site beneath it, filled at proposal. Shows coverage and the next site to approach.
Stock type and count method
Raw material, finished goods, batch or consignment, and the method used. Lets you reuse planning notes.
Last count date and next due
Set at report delivery. Drives the list of clients due for a repeat or a cycle-count offer.
Decision maker and site contact
Entered after the first meeting. Prevents a proposal stalling at a contact who cannot approve.
Referrer
The CA, auditor or client who mentioned you, with a thank-you noted, so referral sources are tracked.

Who it is for

This is written for these inventory management service providers.

  • Manufacturers with raw material, work in progress and finished goods stores
  • Distributors and wholesalers with several godowns
  • Retail chains and franchise outlets with store stock
  • Pharma and healthcare distributors with batch and expiry tracking
  • Brands with consignment stock at dealers and retailers
  • E-commerce sellers and fulfilment centres
  • Hospitals and educational institutions with consumables and assets
  • Government and public sector stores

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your staff are in the field during the year-end rush and cannot enter anything
  • You have a handful of recurring clients known well enough by the owner
  • Contacts live in a personal phone that the owner will not share

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM should we use?
The one your team will open daily. If you have one, we shape it. If not, we recommend a plain option in ordinary use in India and set it up with you. Fit matters more than features.
Can the CRM store client stock data?
It should hold only what sales needs, such as site count and stock type. Keep stock lists and valuations out of it, since those belong to the client and to the engagement files.
How do we record sensitive stock data from a client?
Store only what is needed to plan the next count, such as site, stock type and date, and keep detailed figures in the client's own system or the report. Stock data reveals a client's business, so limit who can see it and check the contract.
What fields help when a client has many sites?
Keep a parent account for head office and a child record for each site, with the site contact and the last count date. A single flat record hides which site is due. Link all sites to the decision maker who signs.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
