Lead Management & Automation for Kirana and Neighbourhood Retail
Converiqo helps kirana owners capture enquiries, guide local deliveries, and stay connected with high-value customers without adding more apps or staff.
Challenges Holding Kirana Stores Back
Act bigger than a single counter without losing the neighbourhood touch.
Walk-ins Only Mindset
Most kirana stores treat every interaction as anonymous footfall, so there is no record of who asked for bulk orders, festive hampers, or delivery.
No Area-Level Demand Visibility
Owners and cluster heads rely on gut feel instead of seeing which neighbourhoods or campaigns are driving actual enquiries.
Delivery Chaos for Small Teams
As soon as local delivery starts, tracking confirmations, packing, riders, and COD collections across WhatsApp becomes unmanageable.
Multi-Outlet Coordination Gaps
Emerging kirana franchises cannot compare store performance easily or share what messaging works in each locality.
No View of High-Value Local Customers
Stores do not know which households or businesses behave like “top customers,” so loyalty and personalised service remain ad-hoc.
Paper-Based Khata & Compliance Risk
Monthly credit, vendor bills, and GST paperwork still live in diaries or WhatsApp chats, making it tough to reconcile dues or respond when auditors or landlords ask questions.
Core modules
Lead Management Automation for Kirana Stores
Pick the journeys you need each module plugs into the rest of Converiqo without rework.
Automation flow
Lead Generation Widget and Campaign Manager
Capture interest from store microsites, aggregator listings, subscription forms, QR flyers, and WhatsApp flows track which campaigns actually produce orders.
Simple widgets and links collect leads for delivery, monthly baskets, festive hampers, and B2B supply without extra apps.
Enquiries from WhatsApp, calls, local Facebook groups, and aggregator chat are auto-tagged with source, locality, and intent.
Campaign attribution shows which flyers, local influencers, or digital promos bring paying households versus casual interest.
Qualification forms capture items, budget, delivery address, and payment preference so staff know exactly what to prep.
Dashboards highlight hot localities, store clusters, and offers generating the best ticket sizes.
CRM connectors sync leads into lightweight follow-up boards (or Google Sheets) for families already using simple tools.
Automated reminders ensure bigger orders and B2B buyers get callbacks even when the store is busy.
Bulk upload tools let franchise teams import leads gathered offline or through partners without manual rework.
Automation flow
Agentic AI Recommendations (RAG Workflows)
Combine purchase history, neighbourhood trends, supplier deals, and stock positions to guide small teams on who to call and what to pitch.
Lead scoring blends spend patterns, distance from store, engagement on WhatsApp, and family size to prioritise callbacks.
RAG workflows pull knowledge from supplier catalogues, past deals, and seasonal trends to suggest bundle ideas.
Owners get prompts on which local societies or SMEs are ready for subscriptions or procurement tie-ups.
Recommendation cards tell staff which items to upsell (e.g., baby care, wellness, millet packs) based on intent.
Next-best-action tips include sending order forms, booking tastings, or passing the lead to another outlet closer to the household.
Predictive alerts flag likely out-of-stock SKUs so staff recommend alternates before disappointment sets in.
High-value lead playbooks explain which discount lever or sample strategy worked for similar households.
Escalation cues nudge owners when a lead has stalled beyond a threshold so nothing valuable slips away.
Automation flow
Community & Forum Module
Host local discussions around essentials, hyperlocal deals, school events, and festival prep turn every topic into actionable signals.
Micro forums capture needs (organic milk, fasting kits, hostel hampers) and feed them directly into the lead board.
Signal detection highlights trending topics so stores plan inventory or flash offers ahead of time.
Champion identification surfaces residents who influence their building or society, helping staff nurture them as ambassadors.
Conversations link back to CRM profiles so reps know what a household asked before calling.
Alerts notify owners when local groups discuss shortages, new apartments, or price sensitivity.
Analytics show which discussions correlate with enquiries and repeat orders.
Weekly digest emails summarise the top concerns so owners act even if they skipped the chat.
Community polls automatically translate into leads or delivery batches when enough people opt in.
Automation flow
Pipeline & Outlet Insights Dashboard
Give franchise heads, distributor partners, and family decision makers a live view of leads, demand, and outlet performance.
Outlet dashboards show lead volume, ticket size, conversion, and top enquiry reasons.
Area view compares societies/colonies so campaigns can be geo-targeted quickly.
Deal health indicators highlight ageing leads, pending deliveries, or credit-heavy customers.
Revenue forecasting factors in subscriptions, monthly basket renewals, and festival demand.
Cluster heads can nudge weaker stores with best-practice playbooks from high performers.
Store scorecards showcase top agents, delivery satisfaction, and credit discipline to keep teams motivated.
