A modeled month at a Pune fasteners trader, built on our public demo

7 Aug 2026 · The Saahak team · 3 min read

Before anything else: this is a modeled scenario, not a customer story. Shreeji Fasteners does not exist as a business -- it is the fictional company we built to seed Saahak's public demo, so a visitor could see a working pipeline instead of taking our word for it. Every number below is real in the sense that it is genuinely sitting in that demo org right now, reseeded every night, and every screen mentioned is one you can open yourself at /demo without signing up for anything.

We built it as a Pune trading firm selling industrial fasteners because that shape of business -- enquiries from IndiaMART, a stock register, GST invoices, a stock item running low at the worst possible moment -- covers most of what an Indian manufacturer or trader actually deals with day to day. Here is what a month looks like inside it.

Twenty leads, and a pipeline that looks like a real one

The demo seeds 20 leads across six stages -- New enquiry, Contacted, Quotation sent, Negotiation, Won, Lost -- deliberately fat at the top and thin at the bottom, the way a real pipeline actually looks rather than the way a sales deck draws one. Sources are mixed the way they really arrive: IndiaMART, a website form, a walk-in, a referral, even an Instagram enquiry. Deal values range from a Rs 32,000 hardware order up to a Rs 890,000 industrial supply deal already sitting in Negotiation. The Lost column is not empty either -- a demo with no losses would be selling a version of sales that does not exist.

The queue decides who gets called next, not memory

Around 45 calls sit logged against those leads already, at a connect rate near 55% -- not a flattering number, a believable one. That is the point of the call queue: never-called leads surface first, then the coldest ones, and a rep works down the list rather than deciding by feel who to ring. Each call ends with a disposition -- interested, call back later, not picking up, order confirmed -- and the lead's stage moves as a side effect of logging that outcome, not as a separate step someone has to remember.

Two follow-ups are overdue, on purpose

The demo seeds two follow-ups due today and two already overdue. That is deliberate. An overdue-follow-up screen is the single most useful thing a sales tool can show a manager, and a demo that hides it to look tidy would be lying about what the product does the rest of the time. If you open the demo and the follow-up list is not empty, that is not a bug -- it is four seeded promises, two kept on schedule and two not, exactly the mix a real month produces.

The stock register and the first invoices

Alongside the leads sits a six-line fastener catalogue on HSN 7318, GST at 18% on every line, with two SKUs deliberately seeded below their reorder level -- because a stock-out you find out about on dispatch day is a specific, common failure this business exists to prevent. Five customers and four GST invoices are already on file, each with its CGST and SGST split calculated rather than typed by hand. A won lead in this business does not end at "deal closed" -- it ends at an invoice with the right tax on it.

What the owner actually reads

Underneath all of it sits a daily digest email that only sends on a day something happened -- yesterday's new leads, calls made, how many connected, anything won and its value, what is due today and what is already overdue. If this business had set a monthly client target the way the funnel math in our other post describes, that digest would carry one more line: the day's number, the same figure a rep would see on the call queue, spread across whatever working days are left in the month. Nothing new to check, nothing that contradicts what the queue already says.

Shreeji Fasteners, the workspace this whole article is modelled on -- not a lookalike built for the picture. Every figure quoted above is readable in this screen or one click from it.

None of this is staged for a screenshot. The demo reseeds itself nightly, so it is never stale, and it is read-only, so nothing you click can break it for the next person. Open the live demo

A demo cannot tell you what your own funnel looks like -- only your own numbers can do that. What it can do, honestly, is show you the shape of a working month before you spend an afternoon setting one up yourself.
