Pharmaceutical distributors · CRM

Keep every chemist, order, shortage and balance in one place the owner can open.

A CRM for a pharmaceutical distributor is the record of each chemist, hospital and company contact with their orders, credit and calls. GullySales works on setting up that record so it does not live in the delivery boy's memory.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Pharmaceutical distributors: show a real physical business scene illustrating Batch and expiry stock. Hold stock by item, batch, expiry and warehouse, and offer the earliest-dated batch first at billing unless the counter deliberately picks another one.

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 pharmaceutical distributors

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

  • “The record belongs to the staff, not the business”

    The route knowledge sits with a salesman or delivery person. If they leave, the chemist's habits, preferred items and payment pattern go with them, and the business starts again with a name on a slip.

  • “Credit and orders sit in separate places”

    Orders are in billing software, promises are on a call and the overdue note is in a diary. A CRM that links the chemist's contact, credit limit and outstanding amount lets the person taking the call see the situation before answering.

  • “A tool nobody updates is worse than a diary”

    A clerk with forty calls an hour will not fill twelve fields. The record has to ask for little, accept a voice note or a short line and link to the billing numbers the business already trusts.

What we do

What we deliver for pharmaceutical distributors.

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

  1. A chemist register

    Each chemist with owner name, phone, area, companies bought, credit limit and outstanding.

    Result: Any chemist can be found and read in a moment.

  2. A shortage and complaint log

    Items missed and complaints raised, linked to the chemist.

    Result: Repeated problems for one chemist appear together.

  3. A company and hospital contact list

    Managers, purchase officers and pharmacy in-charges with the last conversation.

    Result: The owner knows who spoke to whom.

  4. Simple data entry rules

    One short page saying what is entered, by whom and when.

    Result: Staff know their part of the record.

  5. A staff access setup

    Who can see credit and who can only see orders.

    Result: Sensitive information reaches only those who need it.

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

The fields a stockist needs on every chemist and institution.

Outlet type and licence holder name
Filled by the field staff at onboarding, with licence papers held on file. It is the basis for supply rules, which differ by state.
Order channel and regular order days
Phone, WhatsApp or in person. It tells the desk when a chemist regularly orders and when a silence is worth a call.
Shortage and complaint log
Entered by the desk. Every missed line is recorded with the date, so patterns show before a chemist leaves.
Credit limit, balance and promised payment date
Updated by accounts. It lets the owner see overdue balances beside the relationship, not only in a ledger.
Company code and territory
For company and hospital contacts, the code or tender and the manager who handles it, so appointments are never missed.

Who it is for

This is written for these pharmaceutical distributors.

  • General pharma stockists supplying chemists across a city
  • Company-appointed C&F and redistribution stockists
  • Hospital and institutional medicine suppliers
  • Cold-chain stockists for vaccines, insulin and biologics
  • Ayurveda and herbal medicine distributors
  • Surgical and OTC range distributors serving chemists
  • Generic medicine suppliers to retail and institutional buyers
  • Veterinary medicine distributors serving animal clinics

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Field staff keep the route lists on their own phones and have no reason yet to share them with the business.
  • Your ledger already holds balances and no one will enter them twice, so the CRM would copy the same numbers.
  • You plan to store chemist data without deciding who may see it.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM tool should we use?
One your staff will really use, and that links with your billing software where possible. A shared sheet can serve a small stockist, with a proper CRM added when volume needs it.
Can we import our existing data?
Yes, from sheets and billing exports, after clean-up of duplicates and old numbers. Keep the billing software as the source for figures, and use the CRM for conversations and follow-up.
Is chemist data safe in a CRM?
Treat it as business-confidential. Limit access by role, use a login for every user and remove accounts when staff leave. Ask your adviser about data protection duties that apply to you.
Who should see credit balances in the CRM?
The owner and accounts, and the field staff who collect for that chemist. Not every salesperson needs to see every balance. Set access by role from the start, because chemist data is business-sensitive and staff change.
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.
