BuyPharma is an online sourcing and trading business dealing in medicines, operating from Kerala with global reach. Established in 2020, the company manages high volume customer inquiries generated primarily through social media advertising. With a small team handling thousands of leads monthly, BuyPharma required a structured system to manage inquiries efficiently and convert them into confirmed orders.
As lead volume increased, the existing manual approach using WhatsApp and Google Sheets became difficult to manage and scale.
The Challenge
High Lead Volume Management
BuyPharma was receiving more than 800 leads per month from social media advertisements. Managing this volume using standard WhatsApp chats and Google Sheets resulted in missed follow ups and lost opportunities.
Lack of Sales Visibility
There was no centralized system to track where leads were coming from or how they progressed through the sales journey.
No Clear Accountability
The sales team did not have structured ownership of leads. The founder could not track who was handling which deal or measure performance clearly.
Limited Deal Tracking
The owner had no clear visibility into how many deals were expected to close in a given month or how many had already been closed.
Manual Data Handling
Customer details were recorded manually, increasing the chances of delays and inconsistencies in tracking.
The Solution
To address these challenges, we implemented Zoho Bigin integrated with WhatsApp API and connected to Meta Ads. This created a centralized lead management system where customer inquiries are captured and managed automatically.
When a lead sends a message from advertisements, it is automatically assigned to a salesperson inside the CRM. The salesperson communicates directly within the system, collects medicine details, and the contact information is stored automatically.
Each conversation is converted into a structured sales inquiry in the pipeline, providing complete visibility from new inquiry to order confirmation.
The system was also integrated with Zoho Books to connect customer records with financial information.
