Warehouse developers · CRM

Keep every requirement, visit and term sheet on one record, from first message to lease.

A CRM for a warehouse developer holds each logistics requirement, its source, its specification, its visits and its stage in one place, so the leasing head sees the whole pipeline. GullySales works on setting up the fields, stages and ownership around your leasing process, using whichever CRM your team will actually open.

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

Warehouse and industrial park developers: show a real physical business scene illustrating Park layout, plots and sheds. List each plot, shed and warehouse bay with its phase, area, specification, rate and status, so leasing sees what is vacant, held, let or due for renewal at a glance.

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 warehouse developers

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

  • “Requirements live in WhatsApp groups”

    A broker posts a requirement on a group, a director replies by voice note and the specification is lost in the scroll. A record with area, height and corridor fields keeps it findable.

  • “The unit of record is the requirement, not the company”

    A single 3PL may have three requirements on three corridors at once. Records kept per company hide that, and the leasing team answers the wrong one.

  • “Availability and requirements must meet”

    A requirement for a given area and height should show the free units that match. When the two sit in separate files, a match is noticed only if someone remembers.

  • “Long conversations need an owner”

    A build-to-suit talk passes through drawings, rate basis, approvals and finance. Without a named owner and a next step on the record, the chase depends on one director's memory.

What we do

What we deliver for warehouse developers.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Requirement fields

    Source, broker, area, clear height, docks, power, corridor, start date, budget basis and decision maker as fields on each record.

    Result: Every requirement is described in the same terms.

  2. Stage definitions

    Written stages from received to lease signed, each with a clear entry condition such as site visit done or term sheet sent.

    Result: The leasing head can read the pipeline stage by stage.

  3. Unit and requirement matching

    A way to view the free units that fit a requirement and attach the chosen ones to the record.

    Result: A new requirement shows the sheds that suit it.

  4. Broker records

    Each broker with the requirements they sent, the replies given and the outcome.

    Result: You can see which brokers deserve a call.

  5. Import of existing records

    The spreadsheets and chat exports your team holds, cleaned and loaded once into the CRM.

    Result: The first day in the new system starts with your real requirements.

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

Fields on a requirement record from first message to lease.

Requirement summary
Area, height, docks, load, corridor and start date, filled by the person who takes the call. Lets anyone match it to a bay.
Broker and occupier contacts
Filled at the first reply. Shows who placed the requirement and who must be kept informed.
Units shown
Filled after each visit. Lets the owner see which sheds were offered to which requirement and avoid showing the same bay to two occupiers without knowing.
Stage and next step
Enquiry, specification matched, visit done, term sheet, lease. Filled by the owner. Shows requirements stuck at a stage.
Reason for a no
Filled when the requirement ends. Shows whether the loss is a rate, a specification, a location or a delay on your side.

Who it is for

This is written for these warehouse developers.

  • Third-party logistics providers
  • E-commerce and quick-commerce operators
  • FMCG and consumer goods companies
  • Automotive and engineering supply chains
  • Pharma and cold chain operators
  • Retail chains with a regional distribution centre
  • Manufacturers needing a satellite warehouse
  • Brokers and industrial real estate consultants

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Requirements live in several personal chats and nobody will copy them across, so the record would show a fraction of the pipeline.
  • You have a single building and a few tenants, and a sheet holds all the sales head needs.
  • No owner is named for each requirement, so entries would pile up without a decision.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

CRM for warehouse developers: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

List the records your team uses and show how an enquiry becomes an order today. Bring examples of duplicate entries, missing owners, and reports that require manual correction.

Make the scope clear

Agree the stages, required fields, access roles, and integrations before configuring the system. Separate software subscriptions from setup, data work, and training.

Check the work in use

Ask the people who will use the CRM to complete a real handover and find the next action without help. Check that the management report can be traced back to individual records.

Know when to change course

If the process is unclear, buying a more complex CRM adds more places for confusion. Start with the minimum fields and rules the team can use consistently.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

Before we start

What to have ready before the work starts.

The records, access and decisions this work needs from warehouse developers. Anything missing is noted in the written scope, with who will supply it.

Exports of WhatsApp groups and email threads
Chats and mails that carry requirements, exported with names kept private. They show how the team records today. Without them, the fields are designed from theory. Include the latest forwarded brochures, because they show which sheds were pitched to whom.
The availability sheet for every bay
Which bays are free, when they fall vacant and their specification. A sheet from leasing will do. Without it, the matching view starts blank. Include bays due to fall vacant, with the likely date, so the matching view looks ahead.
A named keeper of the CRM
One person responsible for the data, with cover. They need not be technical. Without a keeper, entries stop within weeks. If the keeper is a leasing executive, the check should be placed beside an existing task, not added to a full day.
Agreement from the leasing team to use it
A short conversation settling what they will enter. If they refuse, we cut fields until they agree. Their objections tell us which fields to drop, which saves everyone time.
A decision on who may see rates and terms
Only you can decide which people see commercial terms in the system. State it. Until then, terms stay out of the record and sit in your own files.

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

    Collect every place a requirement is noted

    We ask the leasing team to show us where requirements sit today: WhatsApp groups, email, spreadsheets, notebooks and visiting cards. You tell us which source is trusted. What exists afterwards is a count of how many requirements are known only in one person's chat, and a list of what each source records that the others do not. We also ask who last updated each source, because a sheet nobody has touched for a season tells a different story from one used each morning.

  2. 2

    Define the requirement as the unit of record

    A company may have two needs in two corridors, so we make the requirement, not the company, the record. We list its fields: area, corridor, height, docks, cargo, start date, decision-maker and source. You approve the fields. Each requirement links to a company and a broker, so the pipeline shows what space is wanted, not only who asked. Where one company has several requirements, the records are linked so leasing sees the whole relationship at a glance.

  3. 3

    Agree the stages from first call to signature

    With leasing we write the stages in the words the team already uses: enquiry, specification matched, site visit, proposal, term sheet, documentation, signed, lost. You define what moves a requirement forward. Each stage has an owner, so a long conversation does not sit unattended. The stage names are also used in the messages to brokers, so the same words mean the same thing inside and outside.

  4. 4

    Link availability to requirements

    We add a view of sheds and bays with their specification and status, and a way to match a new requirement to space that fits, or a new bay to requirements that fit. You keep the status current. This is where a developer sees that a bay about to be vacated matches two open requirements. A bay that falls vacant on a known date is flagged to the matching requirements before it appears on the website.

  5. 5

    Add the broker records

    Each broker is a record with the corridors covered, the occupiers served, the requirements brought and the outcomes. You add what you know about each. The record lets leasing see which brokers bring briefs that fit, and tell the rest the specification to bring. Brokers who bring several briefs outside your specification get a short note of what fits, sent from the record.

  6. 6

    Import the old records and read the pipeline

    We clean and import the old lists with a note of origin, then compare the pipeline with the start: requirements by stage and source, and what stalled. You test a handful of records against your own knowledge of the deals. The first reading shows where long conversations sit and who owns them. We keep the old sheets untouched after the import, so a doubtful row can be traced to where it came from.

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 should a warehouse developer use?
Pick one your leasing team will actually open each day. A simple CRM with good fields beats a large one nobody maintains, and we configure whichever you already pay for or choose.
Do we record rates in the CRM?
Record the rate basis offered on each requirement and who approved it. Access can be limited so that only the leasing head and directors see commercial terms.
Can the CRM link to the broker availability sheet?
The sheet can read from the same list of units that the CRM uses, so a let bay is changed in one place. We set that up as one source for both.
Do we record rates in the CRM?
Record the rate quoted on the requirement, with the date, so you can see what was offered. Limit access to those who quote. A rate visible to all can leak, and a broker who sees another's quote will use it.
Can the CRM link to the broker availability sheet?
Not in the first set-up. Keep the availability sheet as a controlled list and match requirements by hand. A link can come later, once the team keeps the record current and knows which fields they want to connect.
Which CRM should a warehouse developer pick?
The one your leasing team will really use. A shared sheet with the fields above can serve a small portfolio, and several CRM products can hold the same fields once the pipeline outgrows it. What matters is that the requirement is the record, that availability can be matched to it, and that each broker is tracked. We help you compare two or three tools on those points and set up the one you choose, but the choice is yours.
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.
