Bitrix24 in Bursa

Most of our Bursa clients are manufacturers. In those businesses after-sales processes have to live inside the CRM as much as sales does; quality and sales need to see the same record.

At a glance

  • Customer-specific pricing
  • Sample and validation tracking
  • Complaints and corrective action
  • Order forecasting
  • Visit and contact tracking

Typical problems for tier suppliers

With few customers a CRM looks unnecessary, but that is exactly where the risk sits: losing one customer leaves a large hole in revenue.

  • Customer-specific price lists carried in people's heads
  • Sample dispatch and approval tracked over email
  • Complaints staying with the quality team and never reaching sales
  • Order forecasts not kept systematically
  • Customer visit notes staying in a notebook
  • Noticing too late that a customer has stopped ordering

Scope of Bursa implementations

Where the effort sits for manufacturers in a supplier position:

Customer-specific pricing

A separate price list is attached per customer and the right one loads automatically when a quote is generated.

Sample and validation tracking

Sample dispatch, customer approval and series production release are tracked as separate stages.

Complaints and corrective action

A complaint opens as a record, the quality team receives a task, and sales sees the closure.

Order forecasting

Expected order volumes per customer are recorded and made visible for production planning.

Visit and contact tracking

Customer visits are logged from the mobile app, making it visible who was visited and when.

Dormant customer alerts

Customers with no orders or contact for a defined period are flagged automatically.

Quality and sales looking at the same record

In manufacturing, particularly in a supplier position, how a complaint is handled directly affects the next order. Even so, in most firms the complaint lives in the quality team's own file and the sales rep visits the customer unaware there is an open issue. Opening the complaint in the CRM as a task attached to the customer record removes that gap: the rep sees open complaints before a visit, and the quality team knows where the commercial relationship stands.

  • Complaints open against the customer record
  • Tasks and deadlines assigned to the quality team
  • Root cause and corrective action kept on the same record
  • Complaint history reportable per customer

Few customers, high risk

In a company that earns half its revenue from three customers, the CRM's job is not finding new customers but not losing the ones you have. That is why Bursa implementations lean on early warning: customers whose order frequency is falling, whose contact gap is widening, or whose complaints stay open too long are flagged automatically and escalated to management. The problem becomes visible before it grows.

  • Automatic detection of falling order frequency
  • Alerts for customers not visited within a defined period
  • Escalation when an open complaint passes a time threshold
  • Revenue share and dependency reporting per customer

Pipeline stages in supplier sales

What differs from a standard pipeline is that sample and validation become stages in their own right.

Frequently Asked Questions

We only have 15 customers. Do we need a CRM?

With few customers the CRM's job is not keeping a list but protecting the relationship. If most of your revenue comes from a handful of accounts, one of them quietly drifting away is a serious risk. That is why our Bursa builds concentrate on early warning reports and complaint tracking.

Our quality team uses separate software. Will they clash?

No. Your quality management system can stay in place; we keep the customer-facing complaint record and its closure in the CRM so sales can see it too. An API connection between the two systems can be built if you want one.

Can customer-specific prices stay confidential?

Yes. Price lists are visible by permission, so you define which user sees which customer's pricing. Field staff see their own accounts and not others.

Can we track sample processes in the system?

Yes, and we build it as a distinct stage of the pipeline. Sample request, production, dispatch and customer approval open as tasks, and the time each step spends waiting is measured. That makes it visible where validation is getting stuck.
