Manufacturing & Distribution — the reality
"Manufacturing companies sell through dealers, distributors, and direct enterprise teams simultaneously. Each channel needs different data, different processes, and different CRM logic. Most CRMs handle one. We design for all three."

Our approach
How Celumai works in manufacturing
Channel architecture first
We map dealer, distributor, and direct sales channels before touching the CRM. Each channel gets the right data model, the right pipeline stages, and the right territory rules.
ERP integration designed before built
SAP or Oracle integration architecture is documented -- field mapping, conflict resolution, sync frequency -- before a single connector is configured.
Adoption built for field teams
Manufacturing sales teams are in warehouses and on factory floors. We configure mobile-first CRM workflows built around how field reps actually work.
Compliance and quality data
ISO 9001 quality management data, REACH and RoHS compliance records, and export control obligations are designed into the data architecture from the start.
Regulatory context
We understand ISO 9001 quality management data requirements, REACH and RoHS compliance for chemical and electronics manufacturers, export control regulations across UK, EU, and US, ERP audit trail obligations, and EDI integration patterns common in automotive and FMCG supply chains.
Services
Services for manufacturing companies
A European industrial machinery group spent 3 days every month reconciling SAP and Salesforce. We built a bidirectional integration with real-time sync. Reconciliation now takes 20 minutes.
"Sales and finance finally see the same customer data. The integration has run for 14 months without a single production incident."
