Generic CRMs are built for selling subscriptions and services. A real-estate developer sells a specific plot number on a specific layout, with a booking amount, a payment plan tied to construction stages, a broker who expects commission, and a buyer who wants to know when the next instalment is due. Forcing that into Zoho or Salesforce means custom fields, spreadsheets on the side and a plot that gets sold twice because two salespeople had stale data.
Doing business in Kolkata
Kolkata is the commercial gateway to eastern and north-eastern India. Its economy rests on trading houses, jute and tea companies with offices around Dalhousie and Park Street, the Kolkata Port, engineering and steel firms, and a large IT and BPO presence in Salt Lake Sector V and New Town Rajarhat. Burrabazar is one of the largest wholesale markets in Asia for textiles, spices, hardware and stationery, supplying Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam and Bangladesh trade. The city has strong publishing, education, healthcare and cultural sectors, and the Durga Puja season drives major retail, apparel and sweets business every year. Bengali is the language of everyday commerce, Hindi is common among the trading community and English is used in corporate offices. Businesses tend to be relationship driven and value conscious, and WhatsApp has become the default channel for orders and customer service.
What Kolkata businesses use real estate crm for
- Burrabazar wholesalers taking repeat orders and sharing dispatch photos with retailers in Assam and Bihar on WhatsApp
- Schools and coaching centres in South Kolkata managing admissions enquiries and fee reminders through WhatsPilot
- New Town and Rajarhat developers using Siteboard to manage broker networks and follow up on site visits
- Sweet shops and apparel brands running Durga Puja pre-order campaigns with automated confirmations
Real Estate CRM for Kolkata's key industries
Wholesale trading, logistics & distribution
Warehouse and logistics park operators are a strong fit for Siteboard, while wholesalers and transporters usually need our generic CRM. We configure warehouse bays, godowns and yard space as inventory with area, height and dock access, tenant enquiries as leads, leases as bookings with rent schedules, security deposits and escalation clauses, and utility recoveries as recurring demands. A logistics park with several warehouses can manage occupancy, renewals and outstanding from one dashboard, as can a wholesaler letting out surplus godown space. A frequent error is not recording common area maintenance terms, which causes disputes. After setup, occupancy and rent collection are transparent and vacant space is marketed immediately.
IT companies, SaaS & startups
IT parks, co-working operators and startups managing office space fit Siteboard's inventory and booking engine well. We configure desks, cabins and floors as inventory with pricing, enquiries from the website and brokers as leads, memberships or leases as bookings with monthly or quarterly payment schedules, and automatic invoicing with reminders. A co-working operator can see occupancy per centre and upcoming renewals. For software sales pipelines, our generic CRM serves better. A common mistake is offering discounts on desks without a central rate card, which erodes margins. After setup, occupancy is known daily, renewals are proposed early, and collections follow a schedule.
Agriculture, agri-trading & food processing
Agriculture businesses seldom need a real estate CRM, though land-based ventures such as farmland plotting, agri-tourism plots, warehouse leasing and cold storage space allocation fit Siteboard closely. We configure farm plots or storage chambers as inventory with area and capacity, buyer or lessee enquiries as leads, allotment as a booking with payment or rent schedules, and maintenance or storage charges as recurring demands. A managed farmland developer can manage bookings, payment schedules and maintenance contracts in one system. For dealer, farmer and buyer relationships, our generic CRM serves better. A common risk is selling plots without clear title records. After setup, plot status and collections are transparent.
Implementation and timeline
Week 1: we import your layout, rates and existing bookings from Excel, configure payment plans and partner slabs, and set up user roles. Week 2: WhatsPilot templates are submitted, lead sources are connected, and your team is trained on desktop and mobile. Week 3: go live, with our team on call daily. Historical collections can be imported so outstanding reports are accurate from day one. Most developers are fully live in 2 to 3 weeks.
Success is measured on three numbers we set at kickoff: instalment collection on time, site visits booked per 100 leads, and hours per week the office spends preparing statements and reminders.
Bookings, payment schedules and collections
When a booking is created, Siteboard captures the buyer's KYC, co-applicant details, the agreed rate, discounts with approver name, and the payment plan chosen: down payment, construction-linked, time-linked or custom. It generates the instalment schedule, and each due date triggers a demand letter and a WhatsApp reminder through WhatsPilot. Receipts are recorded against instalments, with part payments, cheque bounces and late-payment interest handled explicitly.
The collections dashboard shows outstanding by project, by block and by buyer, ageing buckets, and who on the team is responsible for follow-up. Cancellations follow a defined workflow with refund calculation as per your terms, and the plot returns to inventory only after approval.
- Sample WhatsApp reminder: 'Namaste {{1}}, plot {{2}} ki instalment Rs {{3}} {{4}} tak due hai. Payment link: {{5}}. Receipt milne ke baad update mil jayega.'
- Demand letters and receipts as branded PDFs from your templates
- Bank reconciliation by uploading a statement and matching receipts
How we serve Kolkata
AICLEX works with Kolkata clients through Zoom planning calls and WhatsApp coordination, with Bengali, Hindi and English bot journeys and UPI payment links built in. Traders serving the eastern states benefit from catalogue and order bots, while Sector V IT firms use our Zoom licensing and automated webinar workflows.
Why Kolkata businesses choose AICLEX™
Built by us, for Indian plot sales
Siteboard is our product, designed around layouts, holds, PLC, construction-linked plans and broker ledgers, not adapted from a Western sales tool.
WhatsApp and AI calling built in
WhatsPilot and Zonvo are ours too, so buyer reminders and lead calling are native features rather than integrations that break.
Flat, predictable pricing
Rs 1,00,000 per year for Developer Pro, with a GST invoice. No per-user pricing that punishes you for adding a site executive.
We tell you when it is not a fit
If you need procurement, accounting or a nationwide multi-entity ERP, we will say so and point you to the right stack, including our own ERP work if relevant.
