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 Rishikesh
Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world and the gateway to the Char Dham pilgrimage, sitting on the Ganga at the foot of the Himalayas. Its economy is almost entirely built on spiritual tourism, wellness and adventure: yoga teacher training schools and ashrams in Tapovan, Laxman Jhula and Swarg Ashram attract international students for month-long courses, hotels, resorts, camps and hostels line the river, and river rafting and trekking operators run from Shivpuri and Tapovan. Ayurveda and wellness retreats, cafes, organic stores and travel agencies arranging Char Dham trips add to the mix, with Char Dham season driving peak demand. AIIMS Rishikesh provides healthcare employment, and real estate demand comes from resorts and second-home buyers. Hindi and English are used equally because of the large foreign clientele. Bookings, enquiries and payments happen on WhatsApp, with UPI for domestic guests and international payment links for foreign visitors.
What Rishikesh businesses use real estate crm for
- Yoga teacher training schools answering course enquiries, sending brochures and collecting international deposits on WhatsApp
- Rafting and camping operators in Shivpuri confirming slot bookings and sending safety instructions automatically
- Char Dham travel agencies automating itinerary enquiries, seat confirmations and payment reminders during peak season
- Ashrams and wellness retreats running online yoga and meditation sessions on Zoom with automated registrations
Real Estate CRM for Rishikesh's key industries
Hotels, tourism, restaurants & weddings
Hotels, resorts and wedding venues have inventory that behaves like real estate: halls, lawns and dates. Siteboard adapts to banquet and venue booking particularly well: each hall and date is an inventory slot, enquiries carry event size and budget, bookings convert with advance and milestone payments, and reminders go out before each payment date. A resort can stop double-booking wedding dates and track balances before the event. For daily room booking, a dedicated PMS with channel manager is better. A common error is confirming dates on phone before advance is received. After setup, the event calendar is reliable, advances are collected on schedule, and families receive clear payment statements.
Schools, colleges & coaching institutes
Schools and coaching institutes do not sell flats, but Siteboard's inventory, booking and payment schedule model maps closely onto seat management. We adapt it so each class, batch or hostel room is an inventory unit with capacity, enquiries are tracked against seat availability, admission confirmation becomes a booking with a fee schedule of instalments, and reminders and receipts go out automatically. A coaching institute with limited batch sizes can waitlist students and release seats. Where the institute needs full academics and fees, Campus ERP is the better fit. After adaptation, seat status is always current, fee instalments are tracked without spreadsheets, and admission teams stop over-promising batches.
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.
Siteboard vs generic CRMs: an honest comparison
If your business sells services or you already run Zoho or Salesforce across a large company, a generic CRM with heavy customisation may be the right choice, and we build CRM customisations too. Generic CRMs have broader marketing automation, deeper email tooling and bigger integration marketplaces than Siteboard. What they do not have out of the box is a layout-linked inventory, hold logic, construction-linked payment plans, demand letters, broker ledgers and cancellation workflows. Building those on a generic platform typically costs more than Siteboard's annual fee and takes months.
Siteboard is best for developers and plot sellers with one to twenty projects, teams of 3 to 50 users and a real need to stop double-selling and collection leakage. It is not an ERP for construction procurement or accounting, and we say so upfront.
Inventory: the layout is the system
Siteboard starts with your layout plan. Every plot, flat or shop is a record with dimensions, facing, corner or park-facing premium, rate, PLC and status. Salespeople see a colour-coded map: available, held, booked, registered, cancelled. A hold expires automatically after the period you set, so a buyer who says 'main kal booking amount deta hoon' does not lock the plot for a week. Rate revisions are applied per phase or block with an effective date, and every past quotation keeps the rate that applied on that day.
For township projects with multiple phases and product types, filters let a salesperson answer 'east-facing 200 sq yd corner plots under Rs 40 lakh in Phase 2' in seconds while the customer is standing there, instead of calling the office.

Why Rishikesh 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.

Siteboard Developer Pro is a flat Rs 1,00,000 per year plus GST, covering setup, import and support.
