Cut 70% Manual Work in 30 Daysβ€”Kolkata Builder’s Smart Dashboard Trick

🧩 The Problem

This Kolkata-based mid-sized builder had a team of 50+ people but no clarity.

❌ Daily site reports were on WhatsApp, not in any system
πŸ“Š No track of vendor advances or payment schedules
πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ HR approvals (attendance, leaves, overtime) were done over calls
🀯 Staff payroll had frequent mismatchesβ€”manual Excel, outdated sheets
πŸ“ž Sales team followed up randomly, and hot leads slipped away
🧾 Materials were ordered twice, sometimes at wrong sites

The owner was stressed:

“I used to think I was managing everything β€” but money was leaking from every corner.”

πŸ’‘ The Solution

  • We implemented a 5-step ERP-CRM-WhatsApp automation stackβ€”no tech team needed, just smart usage:

1️⃣ Step 1: Real-Time Costing Dashboard β€”

  • Created a site-level dashboard with budgets, spend, and real-time updates
    β†’ Now, owner sees daily progress without even calling the team.

2️⃣ Step 2: HR Module Onboarding β€”

  • Activated Attendance via selfie check-in, auto payroll, leave tracking
    β†’ Staff records were clean, approvals went digital, no bias

3️⃣ Step 3: CRM + WhatsApp Follow-Ups β€”

  • Sales team added deals + follow-up dates. WhatsApp sent reminders & greetings
    β†’ Response rate improved, lead leaks stopped completely

4️⃣ Step 4: Vendor & Purchase Control β€”

  • Mapped every PO, Advance, and Material order to a project
    β†’ No more duplicate purchases or surprise bills

5️⃣ Step 5: Weekly Reports = Instant Visibility β€”

  • Site pics, buyer needs, everything saved in one place

πŸ“Š The Result

πŸ“‰ Manual workload reduced by 70%

πŸ’Έ Over β‚Ή1.2 Cr saved by eliminating vendor leakages and overtime errors

πŸ“± Sales conversions increased by 40% through timely and automated follow-ups

πŸ‘· Site managers could finally focus on execution instead of struggling with Excel sheets
