Water testing laboratories · CRM
Keep every enquiry, bottle and report in one record the whole lab reads.
A CRM for a water testing laboratory is one record linking the enquiry, the quote, the collection, the report and the next test due. GullySales works on setting up that record in a tool your front desk and collector will actually open.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 water testing laboratories
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquiry and the collection live in different places”
The front desk notes the request in a register and the collector plans a route from a phone message. When a visit slips, nobody sees it until the customer calls again. One shared record closes that gap.
“Past reports are the best sales list”
The date of the last report, the parameters tested and the person who ordered it are the facts that start the next conversation. If they sit in report files only, nobody calls.
“A lab record needs more than a name”
Each client needs the site, the type of water, the purpose, the accreditation scope used and the report format. A generic sales tool without those fields forces notes into free text that nobody can search.
What we do

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

Stages from enquiry to report issued
Enquiry, quote, booking, collected, in analysis, report sent and retest due, each with a clear owner.
Result: Anyone can see where a job stands.
A shared view for the front desk and collector
A route list and booking status drawn from the same record.
Result: The collector and front desk work from one slip.
Retest due dates against each client
The next test date set when the report is issued, with a call list drawn from it.
Result: You open the day with the retests that are due.
Simple reports from the record
Enquiries by source, quotes against orders and bottles collected against bookings.
Result: You read your own figures instead of guessing.

Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.

Test with real deals
We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.
