The problem

This is what admissions chaos actually looks like.

Four failures, on every Indian counsellor floor, right now.

01

Leads scattered across 4 Excel sheets.

Shiksha, Sulekha, Collegedunia, Careers360 each export differently. Counsellors don't know which student to call first — the fresh MBA enquiry or yesterday's B.Tech list.

02

Counsellors chat on personal WhatsApp.

Student conversations live on someone's phone. When that counsellor quits, the context walks out the door. Admissions head has zero visibility.

03

Course-wise routing is manual.

A Python course enquiry goes to the IELTS counsellor because the rotation was by hand. Lead wastes two days before reaching the right person.

04

First-response takes 3 hours.

By the time a counsellor calls back a Facebook Lead Ad enquiry, the student has already spoken to three competitors. 70% of online enquiries drop off inside 24 hours.

Every education lead lands in one place. No more 4 Excel sheets.

The playbook

How Cratio runs admissions in four steps.

Capture → Distribute → Engage → Convert. Every step instrumented, nothing falls through.

01

Capture

Enquiry captured the moment a student submits.

Shiksha, Collegedunia, Facebook Lead Ads, your website form — all land in one inbox. Walk-ins and Excel lists load in seconds.

02

Distribute

Auto-routed to the counsellor who owns that course and location.

Rules run on source, course, city, qualification, or round-robin. No more "who's calling this one?"

03

Engage

One-click call, WhatsApp follow-up, notes logged.

Counsellor's phone rings the student — call recorded, disposition captured, next follow-up scheduled. WhatsApp template goes out in the same flow.

04

Convert

Drip sequences run till enrolment.

Automated nudges across WhatsApp and email keep warm leads warm. No counsellor has to remember who to chase on Tuesday.

The product

The features your counsellor team opens every day.

Five capabilities your admissions head uses every week — shipped in one product, not bolted on.

See every enrolment pipeline side-by-side.

  • One Kanban per course with stages you define
  • Filter by counsellor, branch, or source in one click
  • Drag a lead to "Enrolled" and the workflow fires the confirmation WhatsApp

What you can do

Six ways admissions teams run Cratio.

Every admissions team runs slightly differently. Here's how the most common workflows run inside Cratio.

Course-wise lead distribution

Route MBA enquiries to MBA counsellors, NEET enquiries to NEET counsellors.

  • Rules run on source, course, city, qualification, or round-robin
  • Round-robin within a course, or by counsellor availability
  • No manual assignment — leads land on the right desk in seconds

Counsellor targets & leaderboard

Calls, talk time, first-response time, and enrolments per counsellor — all in one dashboard.

  • Live leaderboard, no spreadsheets or BI tools
  • Drill into any counsellor to see open leads, missed callbacks, dispositions
  • Admissions-head view: targets vs. actuals, course-wise

Course-specific drip nurture

Separate follow-up cadences per course and stage — communication stays relevant.

  • MBA applicants don't receive B.Tech messaging
  • Stage-specific templates: enquiry, post-counselling, awaiting application, awaiting interview
  • Auto-pause when the student replies — the counsellor takes over from there

Admission workflow

Define stages for each course and track every enquiry clearly.

  • Custom stages: enquiry → counselling → application → interview → enrolment
  • Actions trigger at each move — WhatsApp nudges, counsellor tasks, admissions-head alerts
  • SLA breach? Lead auto-escalates to the head counsellor

Walk-in & offline lead tracking

Capture walk-ins at the counter and outreach-event leads in seconds — not later in Excel.

  • Mobile quick-add: name, mobile, course, source — done in 15 seconds
  • Bulk upload from event lists or referral spreadsheets
  • Same pipeline, same routing rules, same reports

Drop-off recovery on WhatsApp

Re-engage students who went silent after counselling — before they enrol elsewhere.

  • No-contact 3+ days? Approved template auto-fires with a slot or scholarship nudge
  • Single thread on the student's number — no chasing from personal WhatsApp
  • Auto-pause the moment the student replies; the counsellor takes over
CUSTOMER STORY
"

Before Cratio, our counsellors were chasing Shiksha leads in one tab, Sulekha in another, and WhatsApp on their personal phones. We had no idea who called whom or which course was actually converting. Within a month we had every enquiry landing in one pipeline, course-wise routing, and WhatsApp templates firing automatically. Our first-response time went from hours to minutes — and our team started trusting the system.

Why Cratio

Generic CRM bends. Cratio is shaped for admissions.

A counsellor team runs on course pipelines, WhatsApp, and the counsellor's own phone. Most CRMs were built for enterprise B2B and bolt these on. Cratio ships them in the box.
