When Every Unit, Rupee, and Promise Finally Lived in One Place
How we helped a multi-project developer run sales, site, procurement, marketing, and accounts on one spine—with a consumer app so buyers and partners see the same truth the back office stands behind.
The problem: Meet Karan Sehgal, founder leading a residential developer with active towers across the NCR. His teams were not lazy—work was scattered across Excel, WhatsApp, PDFs, and a patchwork of screens. Marketing ran campaigns; sales chased leads; site and procurement ran on their own clocks—so “real-time KPIs” meant someone typing fast. The board asked what every Indian developer eventually asks: what is sold, what is owed, what is still sellable this week—and the answer lived in six places at once.
The numbers nobody wanted on a slide:
“We weren’t short on effort,” Karan says. “We were short on one place where marketing, sales, site, and accounts pointed at the same units and rupees.” The breaking point was a launch weekend: two channel partners quoted overlapping views of the same inventory; finance heard about it from an angry buyer, not from a dashboard. That was when “track projects, vendors, and KPIs in real time” stopped being a slide and became a mandate.
Enter a deliberate pairing: an ERP-shaped spine for how the developer runs projects, partners, and cash, and a consumer-grade app so buyers see the same truth the back office stands behind—not a portal that quietly forked data.
What we built
One command centre: company, projects, and partner KRIs
- Role-based dashboards so leadership sees projects, teams, and units—not a slide deck
- Leads and channel partners on governed inventory: holds, releases, and incentives in one place
- What’s sellable today is what finance recognises—no parallel “shadow” forecast
Sales & marketing wired to the same funnel truth
- Pipeline from inquiry to booking with targets and incentive math teams can defend
- Campaigns, landing forms, and source attribution feeding CRM—no orphan leads
- Bookings, agreements, and milestone billing aligned to collections
Site ops & procurement that match the plan on the ground
- Tasks, contractors, and change requests with approvals—timelines stay accountable
- Material planning, stock, and POs from requirement to GRN with traceability for costing
- Service providers and vendors scored on delivery—not remembered only in WhatsApp
Accounts, documents, and buyers on one spine
- Invoices, payables, and payment history tied to project and partner—not spreadsheet islands
- Agreements and customer comms aligned to inventory state buyers can also see in-app
- Post-handover service without losing context between legal, CRM, and support
Platform at a glance
Karan’s teams needed the same pattern modern Indian developers expect: a web console for pricing grids, documents, and finance; native-feel mobile for site staff and buyers—one API layer underneath so KPIs stay honest.
Real-time lists and notifications where sales and site can’t afford to refresh ten tabs: bookings, tasks, and feed items update when the record changes—not when someone forwards an email.
Agreements and invoices generated from the same inventory and milestone data finance closes on—so PDFs, the app, and the ledger stop disagreeing at month-end.
Who the product serves
For Karan’s organisation we composed navigation per role: sales sees funnel and inventory; marketing sees campaigns and sources; site sees tasks and change requests; finance sees payables and milestones—without shipping one generic “portal” that satisfies nobody.

How we rolled it out (without freezing the business)
Delivery was phased so data models and permissions stabilised before wide training—prove the spine, then widen the surface area. That is how we run other enterprise programmes: the business keeps selling while the system catches up to reality.
Map how money and units really move
We aligned inventory states, payment milestones, and permissions to how the developer already sold and recognised revenue—before any UI polish. Handoffs to accounting and legacy CRM were scoped so nobody re-keyed the business at go-live.
Ship vertical slices people could run
Lead-to-deal flows went end-to-end in staging; mobile personas got their shells early so field feedback landed while back-office grids tightened.
- Sales and consumer paths on device with real templates
- Live feeds for tasks and deals so teams stopped polling inboxes
- Training on real data—not a demo tenant that lied about edge cases
Harden, measure, hand over
Load on representative volumes, dashboards checked against finance extracts, and role-by-role training—so go-live was a process upgrade, not a surprise deployment.
Two experiences, one system of record
The operations platform holds inventory, commercial terms, bookings, billing milestones, and partner performance. The consumer application covers discovery, applications, documents, payment schedules, and post-sale service—against the same facts.
Back-office platform
- Phased inventory: holds, releases, pricing guardrails
- Booking pipeline through agreement readiness
- Collections, adjustments, partner settlements
- Dashboards for sell-through and receivables
Buyer & tenant app
- Search and shortlists with live availability
- Application status without opaque email chains
- Scheduled payments aligned with finance
- Service and updates after possession
Use cases: how work flows without duplicate entry
These patterns describe how information moves between sales, procurement, site, and finance—without the same unit being typed twice.
Revenue: lead → booking → cash
- Lead capture and activities feed pipeline reporting
- Booked units tie to milestones and receivables ageing
- Finance sees the same status sales commits on site
Procurement: requirement → quote → order
- Material requirements surface to vendors
- Quotations convert to orders with traceability
- Receipts keep inventory honest for costing
Delivery: task → proof → quality
- Tasks carry assignments, comments, attachments
- Site evidence lives next to schedule
- Less leakage to chat and email threads
Outcomes: what changed after go-live
What finally sat in one place
- Sell-through, receivables, and unsold inventory answered from one spine
- Partners on governed stock—not parallel “shadow” lists
- Buyers on a coherent journey—not scattered payment links
What finance stopped fighting
- Agreements and invoices that match booked terms
- Month-end trails auditors could follow without heroics
- Fewer emergency reconciliations after every launch weekend
What we watch in production
- Reliability and crash signals on web and mobile
- Predictable sessions for buyers and field staff
- Analytics on adoption—not just “the app went live”
