Kerala luxury home developer automates leads and site visits in Zoho CRM

A Kerala developer of premium apartments and villas uses Zoho CRM to capture leads, send follow-ups and log site visits with location check-ins.

The developer has built premium apartments and villas in Kerala since 2009 and sells mainly to home buyers.

The problem

Manual lead handling

Leads were captured, sorted and followed up by hand.

Inconsistent updates

Prospects did not always hear back on time.

Unclear site visits and pipeline

Visit schedules and the move from lead to deal were hard to track.

What we built

Zoho CRM

  • Automatic lead capture from several channels into one database
  • Workflow emails and reminders
  • Deal stages for qualified leads
  • Location-based check-ins and automated visit scheduling
  • Reports on leads, deals and sources
