We insist that kapture’s line of CRM products serves to improve the way our clients manage their business. This enables us to create a better workflow for businesses that translate into a competitive advantage for our clients.

This is especially true for FMCG companies.

When it comes to fast-moving goods, the mom-and-pop stores spread across the geography rules the rooster. With the consumers being highly sensitive about dated products, the goods sitting on the shelf is sharply depreciating in value.

This means that the retail success of FMCG companies depends on these factors.

1. Create and maintain a customer-partner network of distributors, retailers, and stockists.
2. Maintain up-to-date stocks across the retail network.

For this, we focus on connecting and creating a streamlined way of managing their daily operations. This will help your clients become more streamlined in their daily operations, making it easier to collect more orders.

We find this most important for our customer success rather than the conglomeration of add-on features; albeit at the cost of the flamboyance of our own engineers.

Kapture’s FMCG CRM simplifies and streamlines these important aspects of your FMCG operations.

1. Collecting and fulfilling orders.
2. Managing partners such as distributors, stockists, and retailers
3. Checking and ensuring product quality at retail points.

Collecting and managing orders

For an FMCG business, there are two different ways of acquiring new orders.

a. First of all, a representative can directly visit the retail point and collect new orders.
b. You can also use segmented e-mailers / SMS mass messaging to reach-out and incite a response from particular customers.

Kapture’s FMCG CRM module combines marketing automation and sales force management to engage with various customer levels.

Collecting direct orders

All FMCG businesses are used to collecting orders through a combination of a direct sales person and a number of customer partners. The customer partners include different 3rd parties such as distributors, stockists, and retailers.

Usually, FMCG businesses are used to collecting customer orders through different legacy methods. Needless to say, this could be cumbersome and ineffective.
