Manufacturing

A CRM that speaks manufacturing: product, quantity, quotation

An IndiaMART enquiry for “500 pcs SS-304 fasteners, Rajkot” is not a generic lead — it is a product, a quantity and a buyer. Sales Daddy captures it that way, quotes it with GST, and tracks the negotiation to the purchase order.

The problem

Why teams switch

Portal enquiries answered in shifts

IndiaMART and TradeIndia buyers contact five suppliers at once. The factory that replies in ten minutes gets the conversation; the one that replies tomorrow gets silence.

Product and quantity never reach the record

The enquiry said 500 pieces, SS-304, delivery Rajkot. The CRM says “interested”. Every follow-up call starts by asking the buyer to repeat himself.

Quotations leave no trail

Quotes go out as WhatsApp PDFs from personal phones. Who quoted what price to which buyer last month is a question nobody can answer.

Negotiations stall between calls

The buyer said “rate is high, call after Diwali”. Without a dated follow-up, after Diwali never comes — and the order goes to the competitor who called.

Dealer and direct enquiries mix

A dealer asking for monthly supply and a one-time buyer asking for samples land in the same list and get the same treatment.

How it works

From first inquiry to done

  1. 1
    Enquiries land with the details intact
    IndiaMART, Justdial, website and WhatsApp enquiries flow in automatically — product, quantity and city captured as fields, not prose.
  2. 2
    The right salesperson gets it
    Route by product line, buyer city or territory. The rep is notified while the buyer is still comparing suppliers.
  3. 3
    Quote with GST, from the lead
    Build the quotation on the lead — items, rates, GST — and send it as a PDF on WhatsApp in the same thread.
  4. 4
    Track the negotiation
    Rate discussions, counter-offers and revised quotes stay on the timeline, with a dated next step after every call.
  5. 5
    Close to the order and payment
    Mark the deal won with its value, collect the advance through a Razorpay link, and see conversion by product and source.

Questions teams ask us

How is a manufacturing CRM different from a general sales CRM?

The record is built around enquiries, not meetings: product, grade, quantity and delivery city are first-class fields; quotations with GST are part of the lead; and the pipeline runs enquiry → quote → negotiation → order rather than generic deal stages.

Does it connect to IndiaMART?

Yes — IndiaMART enquiries and buy-leads sync into Sales Daddy automatically, with the product and quantity details captured as fields and the lead routed to the right salesperson in minutes.

Can I send GST quotations from the CRM?

Yes. Build the quotation on the lead with items, rates and GST, and send it as a PDF over WhatsApp in the same conversation. Every version you quote stays on the record.

We sell through dealers as well as direct. Can it handle both?

Yes — tag leads as dealer or direct, route them differently, and report on each separately. Dealer accounts keep their full enquiry and rate history in one place.

Our sales team visits customers. Does that work here?

Field reps use the Android app to log visits, calls and follow-ups from the road. Managers see visit outcomes and pending follow-ups without waiting for the weekly report.

Can it track long negotiation cycles?

That is what it is for. Every rate discussion, revised quote and “call next month” lives on the lead with a dated next step, so a 90-day negotiation never depends on one salesperson’s memory.
