Frequently Asked Questions
What CRM do Indian FMCG companies use for secondary sales tracking?
Zoho CRM (with distributor management configuration) and Salesforce (for larger FMCG companies) are the most commonly deployed. For mid-size FMCG (500–5,000 distributors), Zoho CRM with a custom distributor portal is the most cost-effective.
How do FMCG companies manage payroll for contract and daily-wage workers in India?
greytHR supports contract worker payroll, daily-wage calculations, and multi-location PT compliance — features essential for Indian FMCG manufacturing and field operations. Payroll is processed per employee per month, with automatic PF/ESI challans for EPFO/ESIC submission.
