Auto parts manufacturers · CRM

Keep every part enquiry, quote and reorder in one record, whichever channel it came by.

A CRM for an auto parts manufacturer is the shared record of each buyer, the parts they asked about, the quotes sent and the orders placed. GullySales sets up the record and the stages around your real sales steps, so an enquiry from a marketplace, a trade fair or WhatsApp lands in the same place.

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 auto parts manufacturers

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

  • “The same distributor appears in four inboxes”

    One distributor emails a drawing, messages on WhatsApp, calls the stores desk and shows up in a marketplace enquiry. Without a single record, four people answer four versions of the same question at four different prices.

  • “A part-level history is worth more than a contact list”

    The useful note is which part numbers a buyer asked for, which quote they saw and what they ordered last. A name and phone number alone tell the representative nothing to open the call with.

  • “Trial orders need a flag, not a memory”

    A first small order from a new distributor is the start of a stock line or the end of the relationship. If nobody marked it as a trial, nobody calls before the next order goes elsewhere.

  • “OEM and export accounts run on documents”

    A long approval carries sample reports, audit dates and certificate versions. Kept in personal folders, they vanish when the person who handled the account is away.

What we do

What we deliver for auto parts manufacturers.

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

  1. Pipeline stages built on your sales steps

    Stages such as enquiry, drawing check, quote, sample, trial order and stock line, set up to match how your team really sells.

    Result: Anyone can open an account and see where it stands.

  2. Capture from every channel

    Marketplace enquiries, website forms, WhatsApp messages, email and trade fair cards routed into the same record with the source noted.

    Result: No enquiry lives only in one person's inbox.

  3. Part and vehicle fields on each record

    Fields for part numbers, vehicle models, quantities and the price quoted, so history is searchable by component.

    Result: A representative can pull up everything a buyer has asked about a part.

  4. Trial-order and lapsed-account flags

    Marks for new trial orders and for dealers whose reorders have stopped, with an owner named against each.

    Result: A quiet account shows up on a list instead of going unnoticed.

  5. Document links for OEM and export accounts

    Certificates, sample reports and audit notes linked to the account record, kept in one agreed location.

    Result: The paperwork for an audit or a sample request can be found without a search.

  6. A short training session for the sales team

    A practical walkthrough of logging an enquiry, updating a stage and reading the pipeline, using your own live accounts.

    Result: The team can enter and read records without the CRM owner beside them.

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 these fields against each buyer and part number.

Part numbers asked about
The rep records them after each enquiry, so the next call opens with what the buyer actually wanted.
Vehicle model and fitment
Entered with the part number. It lets the stores desk and sales confirm a fit without opening drawings again.
Quote version and date
Filled by whoever sends the quote, so four people do not answer one distributor with four prices.
Trial order flag
Set when a new buyer places a first small order. It reminds the owner to call before the next order goes elsewhere.
Certificate and sample report links
Attached by the quality team on OEM and export accounts, so the documents stay when the account owner is away.

Who it is for

This is written for these auto parts manufacturers.

  • Component manufacturers supplying OEMs
  • Aftermarket spare parts manufacturers
  • Export-focused parts manufacturers
  • Tier 2 and Tier 3 component suppliers
  • Two-wheeler parts manufacturers
  • Commercial vehicle parts manufacturers
  • Casting and forging units supplying parts
  • Manufacturers with an in-house aftermarket brand

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your enquiries come through one person who remembers every buyer, and a shared record would add effort without anyone else reading it.
  • The stores desk and sales do not agree on part numbering, so records would hold two names for one part.

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
Our team already uses spreadsheets. Why move to a CRM?
A spreadsheet stays with whoever holds the file. A CRM gives every representative the same view and keeps the history when someone leaves, though some teams keep a spreadsheet for pricing alongside it.
Does the CRM connect to IndiaMART and TradeIndia?
Many CRM tools accept marketplace enquiries by integration or by forwarded email. We check what your chosen tool supports and set up the route, and the platform's current rules apply to how the data is used.
Who should own the CRM inside a manufacturing company?
One named person in sales administration, who checks that records are complete and stages are current. Ownership by everyone means ownership by nobody.
How do we keep OEM and distributor accounts apart in one record?
Add a buyer type field and give each type its own stages. OEM approval runs on documents and samples, while a distributor runs on price lists and reorders. One pipeline for both hides where each account is stuck.
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.
