Kerala hair and skin clinic connects marketing, bookings and a doctor portal on Zoho

A Kerala clinic in practice since 2017 linked eight Zoho apps so marketing, front desk and doctors work from the same data, including a Zoho Creator portal for doctors.

The clinic runs social media and email campaigns to attract patients, and doctors track each patient's progress with photos.

The problem

Leads hard to manage

Leads from social media and email campaigns were hard to store and sort.

No view of staff work

Front desk and sales activity could not be measured.

Doctors out of the loop

Appointment updates arrived late, and photos and prescriptions sat in spreadsheets.

What we built

Zoho CRM

  • Leads from Zoho Social, Zoho Campaigns, SalesIQ chat and a QR-code Zoho Forms enquiry form
  • Follow-ups, staff reports and exports

Zoho Bookings

  • Appointments synced with the doctor portal

Zoho Creator and WorkDrive

  • A doctor portal with appointment alerts
  • Prescriptions and progress photos per patient, stored in WorkDrive
