Agricultural drone service providers · CRM

Keep every farmer, plot and spray slot in one list the whole team reads.

A CRM for a drone spraying business is the single record of each farmer, plot, crop and booking, kept where the pilot, coordinator and owner can all see it. GullySales sets it up around how your coordinator already works.

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 agricultural drone service providers

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

  • “The list lives in one person's phone”

    When a coordinator leaves or goes on leave, the farmer names, plot locations and past sprays go with the phone. A shared record means the next person can pick up a call without asking the farmer to start again.

  • “A farmer has several plots and several crops”

    One farmer may grow two crops across three plots with different windows. A flat list of phone numbers cannot show that. A record that links the farmer to each plot and crop lets the operator message about the right spray.

  • “Dealers and FPOs need their own records”

    A booking from a dealer or an FPO needs to be tied to that source. Without it, the operator cannot judge a tie-up or thank the person who sent the work.

  • “The pilot needs the plot, not the history”

    The pilot on the day needs the location, crop, area, access and the farmer's supplied inputs, and nothing more. A good record gives the pilot a one-screen job card and the owner the wider history.

What we do

What we deliver for agricultural drone service providers.

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

  1. A farmer, plot and crop record

    A structure that links each farmer to plots, crops and past sprays, built in a tool your team will actually open.

    Result: Any team member can find a farmer's full history.

  2. A booking board by village

    A view of confirmed, pending and repeat bookings by village and crop, shared with the pilot.

    Result: The pilot and coordinator read the same board.

  3. Source and dealer tagging

    A field that records the dealer, FPO or neighbour who sent each farmer.

    Result: The owner reads which sources send bookings.

  4. A job card for the pilot

    A one-screen summary of plot location, crop, area and access notes.

    Result: The pilot arrives knowing the plot.

  5. A hand-over note

    A short guide on how the record is kept, so a new coordinator can take over.

    Result: The list outlives any one person's phone.

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 drone operator needs in the farmer and plot record.

Farmer name and village
Filled by the coordinator at the first call. Lets the team group bookings by village and plan one flight run for several plots.
Plot and acreage
Filled by the pilot after measuring. Lets the quote match the field, and stops an argument over the area at the next booking.
Crop and spray window
Filled from the first message. Lets the coordinator return to the farmer before the next window and not after a rival has been called.
Source of the enquiry
Dealer, FPO, neighbour or video share, filled at the first call. Shows which route brings booked acres and which brings idle questions.
Last job and outcome
Filled by the pilot on return, with a note on the weather or a missed patch. Lets the next call begin with what happened last time.
Language preference
Filled at first contact. Lets the reply be sent in the language the farmer reads, which a mixed team forgets.

Who it is for

This is written for these agricultural drone service providers.

  • Spraying operators serving sugarcane, cotton and paddy farmers
  • Drone service providers for orchards and vineyards such as grapes, pomegranate and mango
  • Plantation spraying teams for areca, coconut, tea and coffee estates
  • Drone pilots attached to agri-input dealers and distributors
  • FPO-run and farmer-group drone services
  • Drone-as-a-service startups running a fleet across several districts
  • Field mapping and crop survey drone operators
  • Seed and fertiliser broadcasting operators for large holdings

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your records are kept by one person who is unwilling to share them, so a shared list would be empty on the day they are away.
  • You do not yet agree on the rate per acre, so the quote field would hold figures nobody can compare.
  • Your pilots have no way to note anything after a flight, so the job fields would stay blank and the record would go stale.

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.

Which CRM tool should a drone operator use?
One your coordinator will open every day. A shared sheet can serve at first. We choose the tool after seeing how your team works, and we name real tools only where they fit.
Is the farmer's data private?
Treat it as private. Keep the record to what the booking needs, restrict who can open it and use it only for the farmer's own bookings and messages.
Can we move our existing contacts in?
Yes. We tidy the list you hold, mark the crop and village for each farmer and flag gaps for your coordinator to fill.
Who should be allowed to edit the farmer record?
The coordinator creates it and the pilot adds job notes; the owner sees all. Limiting edits keeps the plot area from being overwritten. GullySales sets the rights by role so a pilot cannot change a quote and a coordinator cannot erase a flight note.
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.
