Dedup (deduplication)

Merging repeat entries of the same phone number into one record with its full history, so a customer is never treated as a stranger and never called twice for the same reason.

At the moment of import or lead arrival, against existing records, not in a periodic clean-up. By then the duplicate calls have already been made.

A telecalling CRM is customer software built around phone calls: the lead list, the dialer, the call outcome and the follow-up live in one place. The mobile kind, such as RMDialer, replaces the Android phone app on each rep's handset so every call automatically becomes a record with a status, a remark and the next follow-up, and the manager sees the whole team on a web dashboard.

Telecalling software is built to make and track calls (dialing lists, call logs, per-caller reports). A CRM is built to hold customer records and pipeline stages. Most Indian sales teams need both at once, which is why a telecalling CRM combines them: the call itself creates and updates the customer record, so nobody types into a separate system after the call.

A CRM dialer is a single app where the dialer and the customer record are the same thing: the call screen shows the lead, and ending the call updates it. It differs from a CRM with "dialer integration", which is two products joined by a sync. RMDialer is a CRM dialer for Android that runs on the user's own SIM.

About an hour for a small team. Each person installs the app from the Play Store, signs in with the team account and sets it as the default phone app. The owner adds users on the Web CRM, imports the first lead list from Excel and assigns it. Most teams make their first auto-dialled calls the same day.

No. A virtual number is only needed when calls must be routed through a cloud platform, for example for an inbound IVR. An outbound sales team can run entirely on business SIMs in the reps' phones, with the app logging every call and the owner reading the reports. Customers also answer known mobile numbers more readily than unfamiliar virtual ones.

Import or connect the lead source once, then turn on round-robin assignment: each new lead goes to the next active employee in rotation, their phone pings, and the lead appears in their assigned queue with the auto dialer ready. Managers can reassign or transfer a lead any time and the transfer history stays on the record.

Because a separate CRM means typing after every call, and on a busy day the typing is the first thing dropped. The fix is a CRM that lives inside the dialer: the call creates the record, the outcome is two taps on the after-call screen, and the follow-up is set in the same motion. When updating the CRM costs nothing extra, it stays updated.

Yes. Each rep installs the app on their own Android phone with the business SIM, and every call they make from home is logged and synced exactly as it would be in the office. The owner sees calls, talk time and outcomes per person on the Web CRM, and leads are assigned remotely, so a distributed team runs like a single desk.

Software that turns every phone number into a lead with a source, a status, custom fields and a history, and keeps that record in front of the telecaller while they call. Inside a dialer it means the caller sees the lead before saying hello, updates it in two taps after the call, and never types the same information twice.

It depends on whether calling is included. Mobile telecalling CRMs that call from your own SIM publish about ₹159 to ₹176 per user per month on yearly plans (their own sites, checked 22 Oct 2026), with the dialer included; desktop CRMs charge for the record-keeping and leave calling to a separate, separately billed tool. RMDialer is ₹159 per user per month on the yearly plan, plus taxes, every feature included, with a 3-day free trial and no card needed.

A desktop CRM, probably not. A dialer that records calls and follow-ups automatically, yes, because a four-person team still loses enquiries to memory. The point of a mobile CRM at this size is not process, it is that nobody has to remember: the phone shows who the caller is and rings when the follow-up is due.

For a business that sells on the phone, the best CRM is one that lives in the phone dialer, so it fills itself in from calls, costs a few hundred rupees per user and includes WhatsApp. A desktop CRM suits a team with a sales process and someone to maintain the data; most small Indian businesses have neither, which is why RMDialer puts the CRM inside the call.

Hold them to the same five checks: whether calls leave from the caller's own SIM or a virtual number, the price per user once WhatsApp and every seat are counted, whether the app itself runs in the languages your callers speak, what a caller does in the ten seconds after a call ends, and what happens to the record when the signal drops. RMDialer answers those with SIM calling, one price with WhatsApp inside, 40 languages, a two-tap after-call sheet and sync that catches up when the connection returns.
